Yeah perhaps the collarless is a trend it occurs in soccer a lot now also. It was just an observation that Dublin have kept it on jersey after jersey. I think azzurri who are Waterford based do their jersey they had a few other counties in the past but I'd think off all the Irish suppliers O'Neills would have better financial offerings to county boards. Kilkenny without stripes wouldn't be right.

Monaghan's new jerseys were revealed this morning, making it four counties that have unveiled new jerseys in the last week or so.

Both of these jerseys feature the crest of Monaghan GFC New York on the back.

They have a club crest on their county jersey? Very odd.

Oddly enough, the club in New York are the Monaghan county team's second-tier sponsor: https://www.monaghangaa.ie/2019/12/monaghan-gaa-announce-new-2nd-tier-sponsor-club-monaghan-nyc/

Shows how bad things are that the main jersey sponsor isn't even in the country.

BonnieSituation

Sure, Roscommon had amain sponsor based in the States who allow them to stick Club Rossie on the front.

Investec obviously deciding that the local link to MD/Marketing guy not enough to justify anymore. Is he still there?

Blue collar and cuffs would have made the home shirt "pop" as they say.

All-Boro's logo is a travesty.

Yeah like Monaghan is such a hub of massive businesses, massive shock it is.

I didn't get the sense he was making fun of Monaghan, he was decrying the general problem in the country, especially in more rural counties, in terms of securing sponsorship. The gap between what big counties get from sponsors and the scrabble the small ones go through just to get a sponsor at all is incredible. No need to be defensive.

Is our next Gaa president not based in America.

I have no issues with Monaghan as a county or football team. I just think it’s a bad situation that there’s no sponsorship available here for a county that would have to be regarded as one of the higher profile ones (regular quarter finalists, ulster finals, etc). You could understand if it was a division 4 team or a Meagher/Rackard/Ring hurling team or something.

He's moving back to Ireland to take up the role.

Not a fan of the new Monaghan jersey. It would be nice if O'Neills had more competition but the Irish made rule makes it difficult.

The sponsor is a friend of bantys. I dont think the monaghan co board could afford to turn down a lucrative sponsorship deal.

Agree. Their last Jersey was the best design. The squares on the new Jersey just look ridiculous

New Kilkenny jersey?

Kind of a ridiculous argument really..... where are their previous sponsor, Investec based? Or indeed AIG? Would you say the same about Manchester United? Barcelona?

[Deleted User]

Manchester United and Barcelona are international businesses.

Anyway, yeah it’s not that big a deal. Was only a passing comment not intended to see anyone offended.

I didn't think it could get worse than the most recent shirt, and at least the new one is symmetrical, but it's brutal. Finish those stripes and it's a decent shirt.

Tipp will be wearing the white and green Bloody Sunday shirt against Cork.

Nice touch.

Would have liked Cork to have done something similar as well. Maybe wear the blue shirt with the "C" on it from a few years back.

Why would Cork wear something though? It’s Tipperarys day for commemorating something.

Agree. I wouldn't say it's solely Tipperary's day, but Tipp's special kit is a timely commemoration with a very specific link to the past; Tipperary footballers in late November on the 100th anniversary of Bloody Sunday. Cork changing into a different jersey would just seem like "Wear a historical jersey day".

Why wouldn't they?

I like when a retro idea is implemented for both sides just for symmetry.

Dublin should also be doing something for it as well tbh given you know, we were also playing that day.

These commerative jerseys aren't everyone's cup of tea. Tipperarys one seems reasonable The Cork one actually celebrated Kilmichael and not just the mayor. That wasn't on in my book as the coroner of the day and some historians question if some of the Auxiliaries were shot after surrendering. The coroner certainly thought so. So we have to thread carefully. I dont like the big Bloody Sunday banner in Croke Park either. My elderly father said 'why do that have that yoke up ? Its getting close to being political..not good .

It should be. We shouldn’t always have to apologise for who we are.

The GAA didn't bring Bloody Sunday into Croke Park, the tans did. The stadium is the actual site of the massacre, if you can't commemorate it there, where can you?

'We' ...No one should apologise for who they are. But I dont think 'We' are all represented by commemorative events and the less we have them the better.. I dont mind Bloody Sunday being commemorated but in a solemn way.. not having this banner plastered over Hill 16 or more accurately Hill 60

Ah would you stop.

You're getting offended now on behalf of those who couldn't give a shíte if the whole crowd was massacred.

The GAA, to their credit have some lovely stuff up on the website, and even knowing the whole story of the day still had me with a lump in my throat.

I really think a big big deal needs to be properly made of Bloody Sunday that weekend. It should never be let lie. Especially as we keep being told about the "decade of centenaries" and to respect all traditions.

Agreed.

Ireland will only have “matured as a nation” when we can openly celebrate and commemorate important aspects of our history without people telling us to cop on in case we offend others.

Our commemoration is not about trying to offend others, it’s about remembering what happened in this little country. We define ourselves by who we are, Bloody Sunday is part of that narrative.

Personally I couldn’t care less who is offended by us commemorating our dead and events that have shaped this nation. Others might be a bit embarrassed by it but that’s something they need to deal with.
