Finally, we know the home and away strips Ireland will be playing in for Euro 2016 and beyond.
We’re big, big fans of Umbro’s Ireland home kit for the tournament but really, it was just one half half of an incomplete set.
However, when the sports clothes manufacturers released a sneak preview of the new away kit on Thursday, our fancy was well and truly tickled.

Umbro unveiled the new kit on Twitter on Friday and it’s unusual design may split opinion. The pristine white is accented with a green collar, thin green stripes on the sleeves which continue down on the hip area of the shirt.
We know the shorts are green, but the big question that remains is what colour will the socks be? Will they get them massively wrong like England or will the socks function as a sock and just play their role in the ensemble without taking away from the important parts of the kit?
Only time will tell.
