1996-98 Ireland Umbro Home Shirt Cropped - 8/10 - (L)

Official Umbro Republic of Ireland cropped home shirt from the 1996-98 era, worn as Mick McCarthy's side competed in 1998 World Cup qualifying following the retirement of Jack Charlton whose eleven year reign had transformed Irish football and delivered the nation's two greatest tournament campaigns at Euro 88 and the 1990 and 1994 World Cups. The cropped version of this shirt is among the most unusual and distinctive pieces of Irish football memorabilia from the era, a fashion-forward variation of the classic green that reflects the bold and creative approach to kit design that defined Umbro's output during the mid to late 1990s when the manufacturer was producing some of the most visually striking and culturally significant garments in the history of British football. A large size cropped Ireland home shirt from this era in this condition is a genuinely rare and characterful find that combines the iconic green of one of international football's most beloved and passionately supported nations with the kind of distinctive and unusual design feature that makes it stand apart entirely from the standard version and gives it a collector appeal that extends far beyond the conventional vintage shirt market. A one of one original — when it's gone, it's gone forever.
