About the country

Green and white hoops aren't the first thing that comes to mind with Northern Irish football — the national side has long worn solid green — but horizontal stripes have made their appearances in the region's club history, part of a Victorian aesthetic that crossed the Irish Sea. This collection currently holds one shirt representing Northern Ireland, a starting point for tracing how that particular pattern surfaces in a territory with some of the oldest footballing roots in the world. Small in number, but a meaningful entry in a archive dedicated to the green and white hoop.
