Ireland 1997 Orange Away Shirt — Cult Classic

The Ireland 1997 orange away shirt is one of the most talked-about kits in Irish football history — a bold, Dutch-style orange strip that broke completely from the Boys in Green’s usual white or green away colours. Made by Umbro, it stands out as the only fully orange kit Ireland have ever worn.

The Macedonia Story

This shirt earned its legendary status for one reason: Ireland wore it in a dramatic 3-2 defeat to Macedonia in Skopje in April 1997, a result that badly damaged their France 98 qualification hopes. The game is still remembered by Irish fans today, and the shirt itself was reportedly worn on the pitch only a couple of times before being retired — making it one of the rarest and most sought-after retro Ireland shirts on the market.

Why Collectors Love It
A genuine one-off design never repeated by the national team
Tied to one of the most memorable (and infamous) nights in Irish football folklore
Bold, eye-catching colourway that stands apart from every other Ireland shirt ever made
Perfect for match days, five-a-side, or simply owning a piece of Irish football history

My second order in as many months also arrived in pristine condition. The biggest problem I have is deciding what to buy next.

Also, thank you to the customer service rep for answering my questions :)

Have bought two jerseys, the website has a great selection and the quality of the jersey is very high. Delivery was estimated and delivered to the exact day. Customer service also excellent, very responsive to emails and quick to sort out any issues. I'll be back to buy more!

Shirts are replicas and not official football jerseys, however after purchasing a second shirt from this website and realising they were replicas & not being impressed with the quality, I emailed the company. The company dealt with this great and apologised for the confusion on the authenticity of the shirts and offered to send me a free shirt of my choice. I think perhaps the website should be clearer that the shirts are not real as I wouldn’t have paid what I did for the previous two, however I must say the customer service was great. They replied fast and exactly 2 weeks later I received the free shirt I chose, hence why I’ve left a 4 star review :)

Four stars only because of the initial murky tracking information which stressed me out. The products arrived within the expected timeframe and they are just as expected. Overall I'm a happy customer and have palced a second order.
