The caption should be "earn the rest of your stripes"
The design just doesn't look right.

Poor enough really

Earn your stripes....and black yoke at the top

Terrible. And with sublimated jerseys, swipes and shapes like the black part make no sense and look terrible. Surprised it was allowed by the CoBo

It would be better if they stopped the stripes all at the same level.

Something like the old Southampton kit might have worked a bit better

Donegal have a new jersey coming according to O'Neill's website. Please God for a more friendly looking sponsor than the blue kn on the gold green shirt.

Only 2 years (2016 and 2017) with the current one. Maybe O'Neills are changing everyone to a new 2 year cycle. Shame.

I'd imagine so. I think Mayo's last shirt only lasted two championship campaigns and they haven't any sponsor changes. Dubs jersey has dropped in price so I anticipate them getting a new one in the near future also.

As per O'Neill's, here's the lay of the land for 2018:

Antrim: New Jersey coming
Armagh: no change
Carlow: no change
Cavan: no change
Clare: no change
Cork: no change as per O'Neill's site but apparent sponsorship coming and therefore jersey change due.
Derry: no change
Donegal: New Jersey coming
Down: New Jersey coming
Dublin: price reduction on site; possible change coming (Not due a change til end of 2018 under traditional 3-year cycle however)
Fermanagh: no change
Galway: no change
Kerry: New Jersey released
Kildare: no change
Kilkenny: New Jersey released

Laois: no change
Leitrim: no change
Limerick: no change
London: no change
Longford: no change
Louth: no change
Mayo: no change
Meath: no change
Monaghan: no change
New York: no change
Offaly: no change
Roscommon: no change
Sligo: no change
Tipperary: no change
Tyrone: New Jersey coming
Westmeath: no change
Wexford: no change
Wicklow: no change

Azzurri:
Waterford: no change (released in 2017)

I'm 99% sure Waterford will have one. The current one now has been used for the same length of time as the previous 2/3 have so it's about time to update. Plus it's discounted in all of the sports shops down here. It was also said at the homecoming after the All Ireland that the sponsorship with 3 was up so if that changes, they may want a new jersey to go with it.

Has anyone seen a photo of the back of the new KK jersey?
Are there stripes all the way or does the black section at the top of the front of the jersey also appear on the back?

Antrim didn't have enough team jerseys when they played Laois I think in the qualifiers last year, but they are marketing a new one for the supporters!

Was that not Longford playing Donegal or did it happen to Antrim as well?

Bonniedog

Didn't hear about Longford but definitely happened to Antrim footballers. Was two years ago, not last year as I said. Their county board is a shambles.

They played in the first AIG jersey in the 2014 and 2015 Championship seasons and the current one in 2016 and 2017 Championship seasons. If they don't have a new one launched before the league I'd say they certainly will before the Championship starts. I would imagine O'Neills are moving away from 3 year cycles for the top tier counties where they know jerseys will sell.

Longford this year had to get a lad down from the crowd with a jersey (presumably numbered) as they had no spare jerseys for a blood sub.

Incredible at intercounty level!

Must do wonders for morale! The way Antrim teams are treated is a disgrace at times. Look at their underage hurlers last few years. Not that they are short of money either.

Was told by the staff in O Niells that there could be a new one out possibly around November or early next year.

As an aside, for anyone who prefers the old Kilkenny Jersey, you can pick up the elite version (not tight fit but player fit) for €25 in O'Neills store in Dublin. Got it today and love the fit of it. Stretchier material, tighter on the arms (and the belly unfortunately).

Savage quality jersey. Pity they only sell them off at the end of their shelf life. Would love the new Kerry jersey in this material.

New Kerry jersey is only €52 for the ordinary and tight fit in comparison to €65 and €70 online.

A lot of people at AI final from Dublin and Mayo were wearing various old jerseys and retro ones. I wouldn't buy a new Dublin jersey. I have about 10 old ones!

Agreed. Pity there doesn’t seem to be any retro Dubs jerseys on sale at all.

Company that was selling them seems to have disappeared. I suppose you would have to be selling a pile of them to make a few bob.
