This is the new Republic of Ireland national team away shirt for 2011/2012 manufactured by Umbro.
The brief for the new design was to look at all the elements that are important to the player and fans alike including heritage, identity, performance, effortless function and a tailored fit.
The design team wanted to understand the motion of the football player and looked at ergonomic football forms rather than having a garment created on an existing muscular body form.
The result is the creation of a football specific form which takes into account the shape of the body when playing football. Also key to the thinking behind this new jersey was that we wanted a product that would look just as good off the pitch during your 1350 minutes as it does during your 90 minutes on the pitch. The stunning black kit is the first significant colour change away from White for an Ireland shirt in a number of years.
Technically, the Ireland change shirt is crafted to the highest specification from a textured fabric that provides comfort and breathability. This jersey feels absolutely fantastic on the skin. This is a result of the polyester blend used on most of the shirt. It looks and feels comfortable like cotton but is extremely effective at absorbing moisture away from the skin and drying quickly. Anatomically tailored sleeves provide a great look and excellent feel whilst dart detailing is employed for an enhanced fit. The shirt also features a grandad collar neck with a concealed popper closure for a clean finish.
The makeup of the Change jersey is also excellent for casual wear depending how you spend your 1350 minutes. You will look good and feel even better whatever you are up to...

"i F**KING HATE the FAI ....ROBBING C*NTS"
You are so right man. This is bullshit carryon, typical from the FAI. I only bought the new white away kit in November for a nephew and it cost a packet. Now a stupid 'black' kit that let's face it will probably only be worn once or twice. Unless we are going to be playing Celtic on a regular basis there is no need for this. Umbro make ok kits but this is just more screwing....from them and the FAI money grabbers. Grey shirts, white shirts, pink shirts..wtf. Orange shirts next guaranteed...
And to think they did all that for us imagine!!! How nice of them to go to all that trouble!!! And I just thought they were trying to make a profit!!!
FAI =money hungry whores.
F U C K OFF YOU UGLY GYPO
would like it more if it didn't a chuffing sponser though
im from leamington spa
I think that looking Ireland playing in black is odd.
And I bought as well the white kit this Christmas.
Then it lasted only a few months? This is a new Guinness world record!
The track top is grand!
