This will do nicely.

Olympics Ireland have unveiled the kit their various athletes will be wearing at Rio 2016.

The organisation gave sports fans a first glimpse of the New Balance gear, and leisure wear, Ireland’s brightest and best will don at the Olympics.

The new gear focuses on a bolder green for track athletes with less white than the Asics-designed London 2012 gear.

Ireland will have a hockey team at Rio 2016 and Rory McIlroy will also wear New Balance after Nike turned down the option to sponsor the golfer, and the rest of Team Ireland.

No glimpse of the hockey goalie kit yet but we’re eager to see what it looks like.

Looking good. Looking… spiffy.
