http://www.garda.ie/angarda/press/2005/p27jun2005.html guess i should have googled it before i asked... ok let me rephrase... theres a new garda uniform haha

Lord Nikon

i saw it yesterday, looks strange, like overalls.

Looks kak. The PSNI uniform is smart. Should have taken some cues from that.

That's weird. I saw *loads* of Gardai today, and none of them wearing these uniforms. Or perhaps I just didn't notice cos they may have been wearing the high-vis jackets over them.

RVN10

i saw one today really didnt tale any notice

segadreamcast

Yeah been seeing it for about a week now - it kinda seems like Garda wetgear to me - though it does look much better than the aforementioned 'building site' outfit...

RVN10

Ya it actually does they have new cars like private ones

alleepally

I try never to look Gardai in the eye. I just see dead people.

Sparky

seen the uniforms for a while now, it looks more english looking and i always seem to think they have all just gotten of there motorbikes, its wierd im usually used to seeing a bit of navy.

Sarsfield

There's nothing wrong with the uniform as such. I just think the Gardai need some instruction on wearing it properly. Too many Gardai look 'untidy' (the best term I can come up with at this time of night). You rarely see an English (or PSNI) copper without a properly worn uniform (shiny shoes included).

I think it looks a hell of a lot better than their old uniform. They look more like a police force now, smarter looking too. To an extent they look like they actually could look after our best interests.....























If they weren't so lazy.

I just leg it.

Walked the dog in Dún Laoghaire this evening and passed by 2 Gardai down by the aul baths(having a 99 ice cream) out of sight. They had 3/4 length jackets on but they looked different then what they usually wear.
Didn't have those jackets in the picture.

DonkeyStyle \o/

Gick no!
They look like they've just been shopping in Pennys
To me they look more like bus conductors/inspectors... this is just the worst uniform ever.
And where are the badge numbers? Is this a special uniform for use on mayday? :eek:
It looks so sloppy... how can you wear a shirt and tie with that?!
Bring back the reflective yellow/green coats any day tbh.

Kingsize

Maybe its an "AER LINGUS" style tactic to get some of the older gaurds to retire!! i seen some around town & apart from the fact that most of the cops i seen looked about 12 years old - they didnt appear to be wearing the correct size uniform,it looked sloppy-
it reminded me of a really scruffy cop i seen in prague a few years ago, he had a filthy beard & was smoking a fag.

Sleipnir

As long as they get rid of those awful hideous skirts that the poor women on the force had to wear.
Didn 't matter what the person was like; once they put that yoke on their arse$ became the size of Jupiter.

magpie

The new waistline shows off the ample tummy of the average rosser to great effect.

shakaman

I love the pic on the garda press release.

Talk about a menacing pair to pick make the public sit up and take notice......mess with us you know what's coming. A cup of tea and a biscuit I'd say.

In all fairness could they not have got a pair of gardai from Templemore for the photo, at least they'd have looked somewhat trim/fit and ready for action

OFDM

I notice that the new uniforms cover up their garda identification number nicely.

deezell

It certainly 'highlights' their presence.

At this rate the old RIC unfiroms will be looking good, middle isle of Lidl or Decathlon discount bin comes to mind

Was just thinking that, you'd imagine they'd pick a cut more flattering to the bulging waist of the common or gardener garda. I wonder will there be some sort of regulation about sizing and ironing so they're not wandering around like schoolkids that slept in their fathers outfit.

The phrase "stocking of shite" springs to mind.
