County Jerseys

combatrock

Im glad Vodafone have legged it! The red logo on dubs jersey looked crap. Hopefully we get a new big sponser whose logo will look better..from a completely superficial point of view of course!! Speaking of which, so glad I won't have to wear the new Meath jersey..

About time O'Neills introduce a few new styles of cut to their jerseys.

Dublin and Galway have hexagons, it's Meath who have a checkered pattern like that

Honeycomb effect on those jersey's. Chequered on the new Monaghan.

I'd be very surprised if it was anything other than one team in blue and the other in white.

The other solution would be to do what was done in 2001:

Both counties have the same 1st, 2nd and 3rd choice jersey colours and the choice of provincial colours too.

Maybe one can wear green and the other pink. Ha..ha! :eek:

It will be a toss of a coin. We will soon know by throw-in tomorrow.

That blue Limerick jersey is $hit hot. Pity it'll hardly be seen again.

Wicklow more the new change shirt featured here, albeit with white shorts

Just saw this on the Oneills site.. tasty jersey. The meath "supporters jersey"... Blue and green goes well

A jersey purely to tie in with sponsors colours. What exactly even is a "supporters jersey"? Does it mean one that will never see the light of match day, but O'Neills can still flog for €62?

Like other codes, counties should be require to submit a primary and secondary kit to the GAA each January, and the GAA logo shouldn't be allowed on any other jersey for that year.

Its a good point. I see that the GAA logo isnt on the green paddy's day jerseys. Not sure if there's a difference in price with those though?

I agree, what is the point in this blue jersey? Clearly a money racket. Why choose blue for Meath anyway? It makes no sense.

There doesn't need to be a point. O' Neills are trying to make an extra few bob and who could blame them. Don't see why it bothers anyone, if you don't like it, well then, just don't buy it.

EIRE1922

You need to realise the profit they are already making on those jerseys.

I see Dublin have gone without Vodafone's sponsorship tonight. Ended their deal with Vodafone earlier than expected and before the end of this year's championship, as said by Vodafone. They Dublin County Board did right.

Offaly goalie's jersey, in the background here.... serious jersey.

Blue is associated with royalty....and Meath are the Royals.....at a guess.

I thought the offay kit was nice. Love the fitted shirts with no collars

keane2097

A lot of the jerseys are class this year in fairness.

Have to agree, collars on the player fit jerseys doesn't look right. I notice Kilkenny have never opted for the player fit?

The Kilkenny players would not fit into them! All big strong physical hurlers.

They are better off with the loose ones in my opinion.
The reason being, that when an opponent pulls them back it easier for the ref to spot it, and so kk will pick up some soft frees

Kilkenny and soft frees?????

Really??
Been getting them for years. And referees afraid to give frees against them

Good luck getting a fist of a player fit jersey to pull in the first place.

Utter nonsense! I bet you would not say that to any of the Kilkenny team or management either!

Anyway, lets stick to comments/postings on the jerseys!

"Well, as you know hurling is a game for real men and there should really be no rules. We play on the edge and we don't wear fitted jerseys so the ref can clearly see the foul on the Kilkenny players..."

I thought it was usually purple, and if it was blue i'd imagine it would be royal blue and not sky blue, the tayto park logo is the same colurs as the jersey, so i'd agree it's a money racket to keep sponsors happy, Meath will never wear it, if their jersey clashes i'd be nearly certain they'lll wear yellow

Novel idea for a person who has divided loyalties.

Of course only available for O'Neills supplied counties.

Connorzee

Wonder will they do the same county but half the home and half the away kit?

DEFTLEFTHAND

What kind of an abomination is that! Are O'Neills for real??
