How Yugoslavia National Football Team's 1992 Uniform Ended Up Being Worn By Irish Clubs
It was a strange sight to behold, seeing football clubs in Ireland wearing uniforms of Yugoslavia
The year 1992 marked the end for the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. The political turmoil meant that their national team got disqualified from EURO 92. In their place were the eventual champions Denmark.
Irish Clubs Wearing Yugoslavia's Kit
So how does this happened?
The Adidas' factory that produced replicas of FR Yugoslavia uniforms was left with an excess of unwanted stocks. With the Balkan nation out of EURO 92, there were, understandably, little interest in their kits.
A couple of small clubs in Ireland saw the chance to kit out their players with good equipment and decided to take the undesirable shirts.

Meanwhile, Cork's local club Leeds AFC used the kits for their junior team.
The FR Yugoslavia kits still saw action after EURO 92 in several friendlies that were played by the new Yugoslavia team, consisted of players from the two nations Serbia and Montenegro.

Gillingham 26-27 Away and Third Kits Released
League Two side Gillingham FC has officially revealed its new away and third kits for the upcoming 2026-2027 season. Produced by technical sponsor Macron, the dual launch offers fans two vastly different aesthetics, pairing a highly elegant, retro-inspired away strip with a bold and modern third option.
The new Macron Gillingham 26-27 away shirt introduces a classy and refined look for the club's travels. It features a cream base, anchored by a striking central vertical stripe in teal and green. Adding to the tailored aesthetic is a traditional teal polo collar adorned with blue and white trim, which perfectly matches the detailing on the sleeve cuffs.
In stark contrast, the Gillingham 26-27 third shirt embraces a loud, contemporary design. The alternate jersey is built on a black base that is completely covered by a vibrant purple marbled, liquid swirl graphic pattern. To ensure the branding stands out against the chaotic background, Macron has utilized a striking neon mint green for the manufacturer logo, the central sponsor, and the trim on both the modern V-neck collar and sleeve cuffs.
Which of these two new Gillingham 26-27 kits do you prefer - the classy cream away or the bold purple marbled third? Let us know in the comments below.
