Irish jersey without Eircom logo?

mikemac

Is it possible?
I like the new jersey but it'd be even nicer without the Eircom logo.

Been looking a few online shops and I don't see other international jerseys with sponsors logos.
Have Eircom negoitated a sweet deal for themselves?

Apologies if this has been raised before.

Yup there's an eBayer that does em. He's on foot.ie also i think.

Look at the very bottom of this thread and you'll see the Similar Threads with the info.

Is there a more hideous corporate logo on the go at the moment? :eek:

I was looking for them recently but didn't see them on ebay. Are they still on ebay?

You could always get a Norn Iron jersey. :P

Not sure if I'm understanding your question correctly but ... the actual team jerseys do not have eircom logo on it, just the ones sold in the shops. Its a sponsorship deal negotiated by eircom and FAI

Is that just for away matches? Surely eircom wouldn't be happy about that at home unless for some reason they aren't sponsor? Actually thought I heard news a while back about eircom stopping become sponsor with eircom league and something else I think

No country is allowed have a sponsor's logo on the field, whether they are home or away.

Indeed, no other country has a sponsor of the replica shirts either except us thanks to those lovely chaps at the money hungry FAI.

I read once that Opel negotiated the deal in the 80s to be on replica shirts so Eircom then inisisted on keeping it seeing as the precedent was there.

For testimonials and non-FIFA sanctioned friendlies (like the games in Portugal in May) the team tehmselves wear a sponsor emblazoned shirt too.

Might actually get them off their arses and productive.

Didn't the FAI boost record profits last year or am I dreaming that one up, that they have a massive pot of gold.

A bus to Germany instead of Ryanair, slightly lower salaries all around, not as many junkets, more nonsensical fines for el teams.

Id say you were dreaming, they had to get a tax dodger to pay trapatonis wages.

But this is the thing. At the time that was announced, the FAI said they had a reserve of several million, and that the Trap money would just be used for yoth development or some BS like that. It stank of Irishness.

That or the top end stays the same and the lowe rend suffers.
