New Balance unveils the new Ireland's Home Shirt

New Balance have unveiled the Republic of Ireland home kit for 2019/20. The jersey will debut in the friendly match against New Zealand, a few days before the match against Denmark at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin. This game is crucial for the 'Boys in Green' - currently at the top of the table - because if they win, they will officially reach the automatic qualification for next summer’s European 2020 tournament. This kit officially launches “Through It All”, New Balance’s campaign for the year, which aims to encapsulate the devoted and loyal spirit of Ireland’s legendary fans.

The kit is simple, whitout unnecessary details, with large tonal pinstripes that vertically 'scratch' the jersey. It also features golden detailing around the sleeves, whilst a gold border frames the Ireland crest and the New Balance logo on the chest. What stands out when you look at the entire kit is the total absence of white. The shorts are in fact green, maintaining the Gold details. Ireland midfielder Callum O’Dowda said about the new jersey:

“The new Republic of Ireland kit feels special. It has a new look and feel to it, which the players instantly liked. It's always an honour to pull on the Ireland jersey, but it's even better when it's a jersey that you feel comfortable in. I hope that the Ireland supporters like this kit as much as the players do and we hope to deliver some big results for them whilst wearing it."
