Northern Ireland (or Ireland as it was at the very start in 1880) originally played in Dark blue but it clashed with Scotland as they also played in Blue.
So the colours were changed to Green shirts and white shorts.
It seems strange now that you would change your colours because it clashed with one other country, but remember there only was 4 footballing nations around that time, England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland
