Ireland fans group YBIG launch new Adidas Zippy - and it looks very smart

Republic of Ireland fans group You Boys In Green have revealed a new Adidas Zippy - and it looks very smart.

It is available to order online and can be collected from their Dublin 8 offices or delivered.

The top bears a similar crest to that of the green jersey worn at Italia 90, with Eire replacing Ireland at the bottom, and YBIG at the top of the crest.

The cost of the new zippy will be €60.

As the Ireland national team look ahead to a return to action, they must prepare for life under new boss Stephen Kenny.

Kenny took over the senior international side after an excellent campaign with the Under-21s, leaving them top of their Euro '21 qualifying group which also contains Italy, Iceland, and Sweden.

The new head coach's first two outings as the senior boss will be in the Nations League, as Ireland travel to Bulgaria on September 3.

Ireland will then host Finland at the Aviva Stadium three days later, before the big crunch match for Euro qualification looms.

Kenny's side will face Slovakia in the European Championship qualifying play-off semi-final, on October 8.

Speaking about upcoming fixtures and the play-off game, Kenny was happy to now have clarification.

He said: "It’s good to have clarity now for the forthcoming Nations League games and the Euro 2020 play-offs.

"We can plan with more detail now, our main focus in October will be on that Slovakia game."

Speaking about the Slovakia game itself, he added: "They're very possession based and like to control the games which I do as well of course.

"My ambition as a manager is to control as many games as I can. It's not always possible but that's a definite plan."
