We're not going to go as far as saying that Bosnia are jumping the gun but along with their already qualified adidas brethren, Ireland's play-off opponent have a nice new kit. Some might even go as far as saying a nice Euro 2016-esque kit.
To be fair, it does appear that adidas are simply throwing the kit releases out this week regardless of qualification status but we say Euro 2016-esque because Bosnia's new kit is rather familiar.

It's fair to say adidas have gone right down the catalogue route with this one when you consider that, save for the colours involved Bosnia are going to be sporting the same design as that of Northern Ireland, if they make it to Euro 2016 of course.
When you consider the reaction that fans had to their first major tournament kit in 30 years, that may not be a positive thing as far as Bosnia or adidas are concerned.

We must admit that, although the blue stripe is a bit unnecessary, the Northern Ireland one isn't quite as grotesque as has been made out. And with that in mind, if it's not treason to say it in the week that's in it, the Bosnia one is rather decent.
As for the other Euro 2016 kits that adidas released this week, we're giving our vote to the German one.
Our pitch. Our rules.
