Why were Northern Ireland wearing a blue strip when they played Denmark recently?

I know they it was an away strip, but why blue? Red, white (Northern Irish flag colours) or even green, I could understand. The Dutch wear orange (mostly), because its the colour of their royal family, but I can’t see the relevance of blue to Northern Ireland.

G’day John M,

Thank you for your question.

Apparently, the Northern Ireland away strip is blue and white with black shorts. One reason is the connection with Scotland. Another is that other teams already had the more appropriate strips.

I have attached sources for your reference.

Do girls wear underwear(swim shorts) under swimsuit in your country ?

Do women wear underwear(swim shorts) when wearing their swimsuit in Australia ?
Do you have swim shorts in your country ?
Just wondering because JAPANESE do have swim shorts to wear under the swimsuit to prevent pubic hair from escaping out the side of the swimming suit/bikini and prevent from transparency of wet swimsuit/bikini showing through the pubic hair. (Japanese ladies tend to be very hairy and dark haired down there)
Even Japanese teenagers are wearing it.

In the US women do not wear swim shorts under a swimsuit. None that I know of anyway. Most women shave or wax their pubic hair for swimsuits. I don’t own a bathing suit that you can see through, lol.
