The Irish FA has unveiled a new away kit for Northern Ireland women's teams which takes inspiration from the Giant's Causeway.
The Adidas kit will be worn for the first time in next week's senior friendly against Wales in Cardiff.
The design is inspired by the "rock formations along Northern Ireland’s North Coast and by the Giant’s Causeway in particular".

The Irish FA website says: "The shirt is the third in a series based on Northern Ireland’s land and sea. The home shirt, worn by both men’s and women’s teams, is based on the country’s landscape, in particular its green fields, while the men’s away shirt was inspired by the Harland and Wolff cranes in Belfast.
"Adidas said all the kits tell the story of Northern Ireland’s land and sea through colour.
"Built for confident football and comfortable support, the new women’s away shirt is made from lightweight recycled poly fabric material with breathable mesh inserts.
"It comes in a sky tint colourway and has built-in Aeroready tech to wick away sweat. The short sleeve shirt is finished up with adidas branding and the Northern Ireland crest on the chest."
The new away kit will only be available in a women’s cut and sold through JD, the Irish Football Association’s retail partner. It can be pre-ordered at https://www.northernirelandfootballshop.co.uk/ with an expected release date of April 6.
After it is officially released early next month it will be exclusively available in-store and online from JD with kids/mini kits to follow later in the month.
