dublin jersey out next week apparently

Hope it is modelled on the Mayo one from this year.

New Dublin Shirt

the armagh away jersey is savage. i'm not liking the new dublin kit.

Really hate the full Navy sleeves. Never liked the jersey a few years ago that was like that.

New dubs jersey reminds me of the Ladies kits.

Always look forward to the new Dubs jersey being released. Coincides with getting a new mop for the bathroom.

That if it's true is truly disgusting..

Mop should be changed monthly.

I could not see myself dropping food in your home and abiding by the 5 second rule lol

Don't like the Dublin jersey.

The new Dublin jerseys are an incredible dis-improvement on the old ones. The navy down the sides make them appear narrow and retro in the worst sense of the word.

I'd love to see the GAA start to introduce retro jersey in the same way the NFL does. Obviously you'd need to add the current sponsors to the jerseys (hopefully in a more tasteful way that just sticking the same size and colour logo on them as are the regular ones, perhaps some of the sponsors could use their own old logos to add to the effect?) or get permission to play a match sans sponsors but it both would look damn cool and rake in more jersey sales without making the current ones obsolete.

It's not like the pre-sponsorship jerseys were complex creations and perhaps the only correction that'd need to be made is to produce them in sizes more akin to the play fit versions of current jerseys so that playing in them doesn't give the other team an unintended advantage when it comes to pulling and dragging.

Not liking that Dublin jersey much at all, and had really been hoping for a great new one since the last one over the last 3 years wasn't great either IMO.

That new one just looks so plain, like something you'd see as a knock off in a Carroll's or Penney's. Especially the Ath Cliath on the back (just from looking at the photo) - it looks really cheap, as if done in a 5 minute rush job in a Malaysian factory. It does look a bit better on (again judging by pictures) so maybe I should hold fire a little til I see it fully in the flesh but initial impressions are of a big let down.

Anybody know anything about another new down jersey for jan 2013? Heard something about a new sponsor? Just wondering because I was going to buy one for Christmas present, but if there's a new one in jan, is it worth it!

if you know the sponsor is changing, i definitely would wait for two reasons. Prices will go down on the current one, and the new one will most likely make the older one suddenly look old fashioned.

So far for 2013, Meath, Tyrone, Armagh, and Dublin have switched with Cork set to follow.

Other possibilities are Wexford (last change in 2009), Offaly (2009), Antrim (2010), Leitrim (2010), Monaghan(2009), Louth (Design changed 2010 with new badge for 2011) and Wicklow (2010).

Heard rumours a while back that Canal Court were no longer going to sponsor Down but yet to be officially confirmed.

New Louth jersey due out this coming weekend, county board confirmed it on Monday night with new sponsors Morgan Fuels replacing McCabes builders.
Thats my xmas present to myself sorted:)

Showing a lot of class by quickly hopping into bed with the neighbours as well, wp Mr Morgan.

Galway will also 100% be getting a new jersey this year. Before anyone asks in which code, they're combining both the hurling and the football this year, apparently they have had talks with a sponsor to appear on the jersey and they just need to finalise the deal, can't see it being out for Christmas at this late stage. Whoever it is, I hope Supermac's get first refusal, been on the hurling jersey for 22 years.

Will also be interesting to see which crest they take, the football one is a nice design, but the hurling one is a good old fashioned one. Not really fussed which one they take, or even if they combine, as long as they don't make a complete bollocks of it and we end up with some shít of a crest like the new Kerry one.

Anyone know who is the most frequent jersey changer? Don't think it it dublin, its usually every three years for dublin except for the time sponsorship changed from Arnotts to Vodafone, Dublin rarely change sponsor, perhaps there is a county out there that continually changes sponsor and therefore requires new jerseys?

Dunno if it's the most frequent but Kilkenny changed their jersey twice in the last couple of years. They brought in one with embroidered shoulder stripes and then (it seems to me, open to correction) the following year changed again to the one they have now with the shoulder stripes veering backwards.

Didn't bother me because I'm still rocking the last one DJ Carey played in.

Dunno what to make of the Antrim one.

Who's is the stadium in the background, doesn't look like Casement Park and cannot think of any other ones with yellow seats?
