Sir, – PJ Hill (December 13th) asks that our national colours be used when devising the kit for Euro 2012. West Germany supposedly adopted the green jersey in 1950 in deference to the support they received from Ireland/Éire in the second World War. Surely the Irish could borrow a few of these jerseys for our matches? Come June there should be no need to change the crest either. – Yours, etc,
