The FAI unveiled the Republic of Ireland’s new away kit on Wednesday.

The white away kit features a green shade on the sleeves and orange lines running down the front of the shoulder stemming from the neck.

The new kit also features green shorts, a green collar and a new metallic crest.

The FAI ended their 23-year association with Umbro last year and signed a long-term deal with American apparel suppliers New Balance.

The deal includes a full kit, training apparel and equipment for the Ireland underage teams and the new away kit could be used during Ireland’s upcoming UEFA Nations League opener with Wales in September.

Commenting on the deal with New Balance, John Delaney, FAI CEO, said: “The FAI is delighted to announce this relationship for our international teams. The Republic of Ireland jersey is recognisable all around the world and is synonymous with the passion that our players and our supporters are renowned for.

“We’re looking forward to revealing the New Balance kits that will be worn by all of our competitive national teams as they enter into a very exciting time for international football.”
