This is the Umbro Football Association of Ireland Centenary shirt.
Mixing the stylings we associate with the English brand with a retro look faithful to the early shirts worn by the Irish side, the commemorative design is in “St Patrick’s blue” with minimal embellishment.
The Umbro logo is tonal and the shamrock crest beautifully embroidered on a shield patch, with a “1921” detail in gold on the upper back to celebrate the 100th birthday.
With a neat collar and deep, fitted cuffs, the release, and the yellow goalkeeper version - which both are sold in a special box - represent an adept honouring of a crucial aspect of the island of Ireland’s complex football history.
