Having just unveiled the new kit for next summer's Euro 2016 tournament in France, several Northern Ireland supporters have revolted, creating a petition to change the poorly received attire.
One fan of Ulster football was so indignant that he started a petition in hopes of changing the minds of the Northern Ireland Football Federation.

The sullen supporter, Ian McKinney, told the Belfast Telegraph, "We qualify for our first tournament in 30 years and they go and produce something like this - it's horrendous.
"Kits that have divided opinion in the past have either not been the traditional colour or messy - this is both. It's a perfect storm of rubbish."
The outraged Norn Iron supporter started his petition on Monday and, by lunchtime Tuesday, it had in excess of 5,000 signatures.
The Belfast Telegraph caught wind of the story, prompting the outlet to offer fans an opportunity to redesign the kit themselves.

Not surprisingly, some of the responses took a humourous approach to altering the jersey that will make its debut during Friday night's international friendly with Latvia.
@BelTel took me 30 secs and it's better than that monstrosity of a shirt. pic.twitter.com/s2IlcQefDQ
