    Meehan looks pretty buff but the footballers have been training hard for a good while now. Hurlers are not long back after a long year so I'd say most of the hard conditioning work is still ahead of them.

    I don't like the spots.

    Blockbusters jersey.

    Both Galway and Down have had a fair few changes in jersies over recent years. A change in jersey nearly every two years now, if I am not mistaken!?

    New down jersey

    Crap jersey in comparison to some classic Down kits in the recent and not so recent past, but credit for a smashing launch and the 2013 just pushes it over the edge. Well done. Shame on you O'Neills for that swoosh shít on the body.

    Lads quick question, is the rule still in place that only Irish based sprts companies can make jerseys for the GAA. I was sure there was a rule that was relaxed at the time that Gaelic Gear and Azzuri started making county jerseys.

    Just wondering what sort of job Nike or Adidas would do on some county jerseys and why none of them had a go.

    Adidas have in the past, through a loophole which has since been closed.

    All kits have to be manufactured in Ireland, so without Nike and Adidas manufacturing plants in Ireland, they're not allowed.

    That was it, i was going to say about addidas and Kerry then i wasnt sure as i just for some reason remembered addidas kerry polo tops.

    Its a bit crazy in 2013, it seems to be me a lot of the time O Neills basically know they have a monopoly and dont really bother putting any thought into County jerseys. A bit of competition might be no harm and having bought a couple of Gaelic Gear Wexford jerseys over the years i can tell ye there really isnt much competition

    Azzurri and Gaelic Gear are scrap, bring out a decent product, Clubs will buy it, take a hit for a few years, get a foothold, but thats how monopolies work I guess. Speaking as someone with experience, I wouldnt buy from anyone other than O Neills due to the sheer poor quality elsewhere.

    The Hexagons seem to be a new O'Neills thing. They are on the Dublin jersey also which looks the same template as Galway new shirt.

    It will be all shadow stripes from here on in with O'Neills id say

    List of approved kit suppliers can be found here:
    http://www.gaa.ie/tickets-and-merchandise/approved-suppliers/

    Worth noting that the companies mentioned there are the only companies allowed to use the GAA mark on kit, etc. You'll see some clubs using other suppliers for t-shirts, kitbags, etc but without the GAA 'mark' (I'd call it a logo myself, but that's neither here nor there)

    I'm assuming the GAA copyrighted 'modern' county crests fall under the same rules, even though its not explicitly stated on that page ... Otherwise I'd have expected at least a couple of counties would have sourced some team/leisure wear from one of the bigger international suppliers by now.

    Gaelic Gear went bust in 2010. IMO Masita and Azzurri are just as good as O'Neills.

    Its surprising Cork havent got a sponsor yet, i know they got serious money from O2, is it a case they are only willing to accept a sponsor willing to pay the sort of money O2 were paying?

    You would imagine so. Given their size, scope, and success across the codes, you would imagine they would be second only to Dublin in the Country and therefore would view themselves in the Vodafone bracket. I believe Hyundai are in the mix and possibly Toyota.

    The Cork jerseys will bear the slogan ‘Testicular Cancer Appeal’ in Saturday's Allianz Football League opener against Dublin at Croke Park.

    Thumbs up surely.

    I think thats more of a prostate test rather than a testicular test.

    Well done.:rolleyes:

    A poster is clearly making this thing called a joke, you may have heard of it. Although possibly you may not be able to quite grasp humour from your lofty position upon your high horse. Also, i feel calling the joke - a play on medical terminology essentially 'bitter' a wee bit OTT, never mind 'bitter bitter'. Heaven forbid!

    Being a bit of a traditionalist myself, while it doesn't look like the Offaly shirt we have all come to know the design isn't bad albeit even if it is modern.

    Id imagine Wexford will change this year also
