The euphoria that swept up Northern Ireland after its football team qualified for their first major tournament since 1986 is quickly dissipating thanks to – of all things – the release of the Green and White Army’s new kits.
Adidas unveiled Northern Ireland’s Euro 2016 strips a few days ago, and reaction has been so poor, an online petition to come up with an alternate design has already collected over 5,000 signatures in a day.
“We qualify for our first tournament in 30 years and they go and produce something like this – it’s horrendous,” Ian McKinney, who set up the petition, told the Belfast Telegraph.
“Kits that have divided opinion in the past have either not been the traditional color or messy – this is both. It’s a perfect storm of rubbish.”
Tough to argue with poor McKinney here. Those are pretty dreadful.
