NEW BALANCE HAS today unveiled the Republic of Ireland’s all-white away kit for the 2019/20 season, as Mick McCarthy’s side continue their quest to qualify for next summer’s European Championships.
It’s Ireland’s second away strip since New Balance became the official kit supplier in 2017 following the end of a 23-year association with Umbro.
“The jersey is white, with off-white pinstripes,” the kit manufacturers say.
The jersey will be available to buy from Thursday.
Ireland are currently top of Group D and will resume their Euro 2020 qualifying campaign against Switzerland at the Aviva Stadium on 5 September, before concluding games against Georgia [A], Switzerland [A] and Denmark [H].

We’ve fought for years trying to explain ourselves against being recognized as English when on holidays cause we speak English. How we going to explain the lookalike Eng Jersey now on hols….
@T Meister: emmm, don’t buy one??
@T Meister: the big ‘tree’ will help distinguish you, especially when you say it and people think it’s hilarious, regardless if you say it correct or not.
@ThatLJD: Spar should sponsor them to give us a chance…
@Devilsavocado: twitterati
But what do the off white pin strips symbolise??? I can’t handle it when there isn’t an explanation that has no real relevance… Is there even an explanation for the small green rectangle on the sleeve!!! Throw me a bone new balance, anyone???
@ThatLJD: looks like their logo
Boring.
Can you get the kit without the shirt sponsor?
@Conor HF: always had a problem with the sponsors name on our International Jersey, we must be only international team that do that, don’t really get why people pay €70+ for a Jersey to freely advertise come commercial product or service.
If we’d had that 6 months ago we might have kept Declan Rice
@Ping pong posse club: lol
Random selection of models.Maguire and Egan out of their depth internationally,Long a PL reserve.Suppose Doherty is our best PL player and as awful as he’s been,McClean clearly the FAI poster boy.
What do people want?, a nice jersey or a decent performance?
@The don: want rid of that dirty looking sponsor in the middle of the shirt for a start. The absolute state
@Willy Motley: 100% agree. Dreadful.
@The don: I’ll tell you what I want what I really really want
Look like Real Madrid…play like Real Madrid
NB is such poor quality tat
