Why do Northern Ireland play in green in football? Isn't green universally known as the colour of Irish republicanism? Shouldn't their home colours be orange, blue, or red and white like the flag?

Once Irish always Irish, they used shamrock's colour as their national (colour) identity

Because they are the original Irish Football association, one of the four founders and reigning British champions for 35 years in a row.
Pay your respects newfag.

what are the relationships between the average irish and norniron citizens?

Eternal seething from everyone involved except for Newey where everyone gets along.

I thought that green originated specifically as a colour of republicanism though? The British era flags for Ireland were the royal standard (harp on blue background) or the cross of st patrick (red and white) neither of which feature any green at all.

Not rocket science boys

I thought green was the national color of Ireland since always

It's blue
