Johnnycee I presume you are based in the uk and work for umbro? If so it would be great if you could come on our fans forum and help us out with match embroidered euro shirts.

Up to very recently no replica kit was a real replica kit. Massive difference between fans kits and players kits, particularly at club level. It's only in the last few years that teams started using shirts almost identical to replicas on the basis they'd only be used for one match anyway so they didn't have to be robust. And the technology to make badges and crests more visible under floodlights etc got much cheaper.
But with money getting a lot tighter now, expect clubs and associations to get tighter. Jc may say the technology is good enough now that replicas would last as long as the old match shirts did, but I'm not so sure. At least umbro shirts are durable generally - Nike kits just seem to fall apart or rip really easily. For what it's worth, for the good of Irish football I have no problem neon a walking billboard if it means extra money going 2 grassroots. But at the moment I'm not a happy chappy as the current sponsor, in my experience, treats it's customers with pure disdain, so they're only pay the money by ripping off customers by chaging full prie and then paying buttons for shocking customer service, and in any event you can't say the money is actually going to grass roots when the fai fire a load of the people out on the ground, and the money continues to prop up delaneys rather large salary. So for those reasons I'm not a fan of the current sponsor. But I'm not against sponsors if the money goes to proper good use. |

Not being a smart ass but you answered your own question by acknowledging that Umbros hands are tied. Umbro have NO say what so ever on what sponsor goes on the shirt, that is purely between the FAI and any third party who wants to sponsor our national team, we apply the logo to our shirts as per our contractual agreement. From a personal point of view and as a fan I would prefer that our national shirt had no sponsor on it but if a company is good enough to pony up "X" million per year to help fund our national association, honestly who are we to judge? The sponsorship money runs though the association and helps development of young talent and grass roots so the FAI as I've said before are probably ahead of the curve here, I think other associations will follow suit as sponsors demand more bang for their buck as sponsorship budgets tighten up. Regarding how many more jerseys would be sold if the sponsor wasn't applied, who knows! I do think there is room for selling a limited number of the jersey at a higher price minus the sponsor but 3 have ruled that out completely and although I don't like their decision I do understand why.

The wearing of contrasting shirts is not just for the benefit of those watching on black and white TV, but also to aid the colourblind too
