International Break

As we're currently in the middle of a set of international fixtures, how about a couple of repaints in international kits?

First, one to offer a little cheer to any Irish followers I have:

If I remember rightly, I mixed up some slightly darker green for the sleeves on this kit. If you can't tell... well, it was only a subtle difference anyway!

 

And here's Celtic legend Billy McNeill in his Scotland colours. Nice simple, but effective repaint.

British Keepers

Day 3 of blog boost week! Still going with international figures, as it's international week, but today'd specific theme is keepers!

Here are 5 goalies (England, Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales) in freshly repainted kits, including gloves!

If I can say this about my own work, I'm a big fan of these! The gloves add so much!

I particularly like the patterns on the Jennings Northern Ireland kit!

I can also reveal to you here, that all of these figures are set to feature in the book Glove Story 2, set to be published next year!

So, Ian Harte has finally retired!

This made me think today was as good a day as any to post a pic of a recent Ian Harte repaint; one of him in the Republic of Ireland's 2002 World Cup kit!

Harte got 63 caps for Ireland, scoring 12 goals.

His club career saw spells at Leeds (when they were good!!) Levante, Sunderland, Blackpool, Carlisle, Reading and Bournemouth.

Enjoy your retirement, Ian!
