UEFA Europa Conference League

2021 saw the introduction of a third-tier European club competition, the UEFA Europa League. One reason mooted for the introduction was to give clubs from lower-ranked nations a chance to progress further. In the first season, 2021/22, Kyle Lafferty of Cypriot club Αnorthosis Famagusta is the only player to feature in the group stage round. Jonny Evans' Leicester dropped into the Conference League knockout round. See also: UEFA Competion Finalists Champions League Players Europa League Players

Northern Ireland Kit Graphics

The graphics below have been developed from photos (black & white and colour), contemporary sketches, descriptions and similar projects by other sites. Assumptions have necessarily been made.  While the template used across all kits is a modern design, it is recognised that the cut of jerseys/shirts, knickers/shorts and stockings/socks has varied greatly. The primary aim of this post is to illustrate the colours worn by Northern Ireland's players. 1882 1889-1891 1902-1914 1919-1931 1931-1951 1951-1953 1954-1957 1957-1965 1964-1967 1967-1974 1974-1976 1976-1977 1977-1979, 1980-1983 1979-1982 1979-1980 1982-1983 1983-1986 1986 advertised with green shorts, but only worn with white 1986-1990 1986-1989 1990-1992 1990 (not worn) 1992-1994 1994 (not worn) (shorts / socks tbc) 1993-1994
