Description & Design Highlights
Base Colors & Stripes: The shirt features a white base with three broad green vertical stripes on the front. These stripes fade into the white near the bottom, creating a distinctive gradient effect. This “fade-away” pattern set the kit apart at the time.
Accent Colors: Each green stripe is bordered by orange pinstripes, lending a subtle nod to Ireland’s national colors (green, white, and orange).
Collar & Sleeve Trim: The V-neck collar, plus the sleeve cuffs, incorporate tri-colour detailing — combining green, white, and orange in a stylish trim.
Branding & Sponsorship:
The logo appears on the right chest.
The FAI crest (Football Association of Ireland) is embroidered over the heart.
The Opel logo is prominently displayed across the front center as the shirt’s sponsor.
Historical Significance: Worn during the Republic of Ireland's memorable 1994 World Cup campaign — which included notable performances under Jack Charlton — this away kit has become a classic symbol of Irish football heritage.
