Waterford set too announce a new kit in early December. Seemed like only yesterday we were talking about the latest one.

Any other new ones being announced? Had a good few rumours this time last year.

Armagh are announcing a new sponsor and jersey next week.
Galway, Cork and Clare are also getting new jerseys for the coming year. All released before Xmas

Looks like a training shirt. Collar design is not good.

Azzurri always seem to have a two year cycle with their kits i notice.
Current Waterford shirt is not bad but royal is probably too dominant. I thought the 2012/13 kit the Decie had was quite nice.

not a fan of the collar but I like the plainness of it, less swirls and ****e the better imo

big_drive

Don't like the Cork one that much, bit plain really and not all that different to the last one

deadybai

New Derry one isnt bad at all

New Armagh Jersey,

Armagh sponsor is awful looking.

Are Offaly changing this year? Their 3 season cycle is up afaik

deadybai

This is a long shot , but would anyone know where to get a Australian International Rules jersey with a players name on the back?

big_drive

The trend with most of the new jerseys seems to be going towards a more plain style

Its taken O'Neill's a long long time to realise that less is more!

deadybai

I see Galway have a new kit in the game on tg4 .looks really good

Ursus Horribilis

A shame they still persist with those awful skimpy shorts.

Collar aside there isn't a whole lot of difference to the previous one. Papa johns sponsor on the back.

O'Neill's had somewhat of a retro resurgence between 09 and 10 but reverted back to the asymmetric over cluttered nonsense. Do we really really need to be reminded of the county name several times on the jersey?

Tipp and Kilkenny appear to be the only two counties with the fade effect. The template Tipp have would have suited Carlow also.

Sponsors destroying a lot of jerseys. Armagh, Cork being two examples

klairondavis

Back to predominantly all lily white for Cill Dara. Decent effort. Sponsor not the best though.

Utopia Parkway

New Galway jersey.

The short collar is here to stay by the looks of things. Galway had unveiled that shirt at the Fenway tournament a few weeks back.

big_drive

The change to that style collar seems to be the new look

Some change to gaa jerseys over the past 15 years. If you see old photos they looked so big and baggy

Soccer jerseys were quite baggy too back in the day. Perception is funny. Strength and conditioning wasn't big in the 80's so soccer players and GAA players, although they were physically fit they looked like something from Angela's ashes. In the 90's the lack of meat or too much meat (in Matt le Tissiers case) was hidden by the baggy kits while nowadays both GAA players and soccer players are pretty much modern day adonises so the tight jersey is back in vogue. It will all change again though in the future no doubt

The_Kew_Tour

Have to say I like the Cork one.

This is meant to be the new Clare jersey:

Quite a bit of blue going on at the bottom of the jersey. Other than that its decent

Sweet as a nut. Beautiful shirt.

Waterford jersey is very nice, probably my favourite from the new ones.

Don't like the Clare one. Would have been nice if they'd left off the blue on the bottom

newg300

A pity Azzurri didn't find their groove sooner, when they had more contracts. Their last two Waterford jerseys have been great.

The Clare one looks horrifically outdated already, and it hasn't even launched.

dastardly00

The new Waterford jersey does look very nice indeed.

Regarding the old baggy jerseys, just remember back not so long ago that rugby union jerseys were made of heavy cotton and were XXXL regardless of the player's size!!

Google tells me "yerwan" is Sarsfields camogie and football player (and model) Mairead O'Farrell.

Can't be any worse than having Mr. Tayto on it. Desperate looking thing.

Waterford jersery is very nice in fairness. I wouldnt be gone on the round collar trend which O'Neills have gone for in the past year or 2. I'd much prefer the v neck Azzuari have going on, but thats just my opinion....

Waterford Jersey is nice. The Clare one is pure muck, sad to say we're stuck with it for the next three years.

Ooneills really don't give a **** about gaa jerseys, absolutely dreadful stuff, the cork, clare, galway, Kildare jerseys no imagination just churn them out for the gaa who they effectively have a monopoly on.........wateford jersey from azzuri very nice in comparison

They don't give a **** about their biggest revenue earner? O'neills produce numerous samples for county boards to select and then the board makes their decision. Maybe it's the county boards that have no imagination? You are right in saying that all the above show no imagination but I am 100% sure they weren't given this one jersey and told to take it or leave it.

The fact these ****e jerseys were acutally put on the table shows the lack of imagination and the contempt they show akin to rte's coverage of the games. Oneills simply trot out so much similar crap jerseys every year when they could do so much more

Ara you're just jealous that we have the backing of the single most important celebrity in Irish life :P.

Though that aside I haven't heard of a new Meath kit this year. Would have expected such a thing to be out for Christmas. This will be the third year of the current one.

Oneills have been shaking things up over the last few years. Have a look at some of the club kits on their website. Take the 3 new Jordanstown University jersies for the Sigerson. They are top notch in my view. I think o'neills will do whatever boards want them to do, but behind the door County boards prefer the plain jersey where the sponsors are the main focal point rather than the colors and county they represent.

I like our jersey (Galway) this year. Granted they didn't do much with it bar add a bit more white onto the end of the sleeves. Sometimes less is more. They could have gone crazy adding all sorts of designs and made a pig's mickey out of it.

^^^^^
They got rid of that honeycomb / hexagon pattern over it as well, i think.

Anyone notice the jerseys have gone up €2 to €62? Total rip off.

It has to be. GAA jerseys are pretty poor quality compared to rugby or soccer jerseys, there's no stitching on them.

I'd love to know what the split between O'Neill's and each county board is.

big_drive

I'd disagree that the GAA jerseys are poor quality. I've always found the O'Neills jersey good in terms of hard wearing, long lasting and holding shape, colour, etc
