Seen that Donegal jersey yesterday and I wondered why wasn't it out for Christmas, I'd be saying the same if Meath bring one out. I bet there's kids around Donegal got a now out of date jersey for Christmas!!

It wouldn't be the first time that Meath anyway had a new jersey after Christmas. If I remember correctly I think that we had a new jersey released during the league a number of years ago. 2010 I think.

I don't think the county board had the new sponsorship deals finalised in time for Christmas.

Sligo making no attempts to hide their plans for gaining an extra edge at their jersey launch today!



And a proper pic:

Fair enough so that's a decent reason, but if as said above Meath have one out it's a farce this time of year as Tayto Park are still the sponsors, surely even O'Neills would want new kits out before Christmas for the sales in them

I heard that the fee Tayto Park were paying Meath this time around was greatly reduced on before. Perhaps the county board were looking for someone else to take a place on the rear of the jersey or another sponsor who would pay more?

Still a bit of a joke though if indeed there is a new jersey coming out. I thought this current county board was supposed to be better than the last shower

That Sligo shirt is daycent. Really liked their last one as well.

Yep, and I wish some other counties would take note of the non obtrusive sponsor.

just on O'Neills having a monopoly, I see Martin Donnelly is supplying footballs for the national leagues. surprising it hasn't happened before seeing as there are countless different sliotars available

1916 jersey I kid you not

In fairness many counties struggle to get reasonable sponsorship, and they can't really do anything about a sponsors logo. Beggars can't be choosers.

Could be alright, from what I heard the Tayto Park sponsorship is in the region of 50k, laughable that really if it's true, maybe there's a second sponsor on the back now?

Makes you think really, there is county board men on a fortune. Surely one should be dedicated to negotiate sponsorships throughout the year? Its almost like a man searching frantically at 5.55pm for a gift on Christmas eve for the wife

I beg to differ, I think that kit looks cheap and shabby. Might be just me but it just looks cheap... Who makes it?

Kukri are the manufacturers. Took over from AZZURRI at the start of last year.

Don't have a picture but I saw a picture recently of the new Waterford kit. Seems the new "honeycomb" feature has been done away with. Strange that was released with it but in the games they've worn the new kit there has definitely been no honeycomb feature.

They switched between the old and new kit in the Munster league games. The jersey for sale on the Azzuri website still has the honeycomb pattern, but very hard to see in any of the pictures. Could be a case of it just being very hard to see in proper daylight.

Well, technically it's not a GAA jersey, in that it's not for use by any team in any game, nor does it have any GAA logos or crests. Though the market for the 2 will be one and the same really.

Supposedly the new Meath kit

thesultan

The Meath one is very nice

henke

New Louth jersey. Interestingly O'Neills have given them a v-neck shaped collar rather than the standard round one on all other recent County jerseys.

denishurley

The honeycomb pattern is still there on the Waterford jersey, just very faint

Is there a new London jersey to be released any time soon? The O'Neills website still shows the same as last year.

newg300

The Azzurri logo has moved on the Waterford jersey too. On their site, it is on the shoulder but in that picture it is on the more usual front of chest.

Personally I think the white piping looks a bit silly when it is sublimated.

Hibbeler

The white lines on the side of that Offaly jersey make it look a little like a vest imo

sportzstar

The new Donegal one doesn't look as bad in reality as it does online.

This will more than likely be a stupid question but I'm a novice when it come to GAA culture so bear with me, please.

My girlfriend is English and was born in London. She's lived over here for 4 years now and loves watching the football, so I was going to buy her a London GAA jersey for her birthday. I'm wondering though - what are people's opinions to the London side? Would she get any form of negative reaction for wearing one around the place?

I've no doubt I'm showing my ignorance but I genuinely don't know. Only concerned as she's very conscious of wearing her England jersey outside/gym as a few dickheads said some things on the occasions she's worn that.

I've asked a GAA-mad friend (who happens to now live in London!) and he said it wouldn't be a problem but just thought I'd ask on here too.

Also, which is London's home jersey - green or white?

Thanks in advance.

London's home jersey is green, and as for the rest of the post, I reckon there is absolutely nothing to worry about! Dickheads passing comment outside and at the gym are exactly that; dickheads.

I'd be amazed if there was any negative reaction, most people don't pay a blind bit of difference to county jerseys aside from maybe the odd bit of (good humoured) ribbing. Go for it!

Like the lad above said, I'd be amazed if she got any negative reaction. Not that these things matter in the eyes of anyone with 2 brain cells, but if anything a London jersey would nearly count as more "Irish" than an Irish county jersey. "Níos Gaelaí ná na Gaeil féin".

peejay1986

Thanks, both of you. Personally, I wouldn't give a **** what people would say but seeing as it's her wearing it, I wanted to check as much as I could.

Now to scrap up some money to buy one!
