    The O'Neills jersies are not really of very good quality. Screen printed. Cheap to produce. There is no comparsion to most soccer jersies made by Adidas or Nike.

    O'Neills were told by the G.A.A. to reintroduce the embroidered crest there just a few years ago.

    You were not getting value for money with the screen printed crest.

    Would embroidered crests last as long though? They're also a bit awkward if they're big. And on shorts, I think they look way nicer if the crest is incorporated on to the sides in print form rather than those stiched on stripes and an embroidered crest at the front.


    About the jersey's, I think the nicest one was probably Louth's except for that the sponsor logo really takes away from it. Tyrone's jersey is also an example of the logo taking away from a great jersey. Antrim's new one is nice too. And as has been stated, Leitrim's one is top notch too.

    Offaly's is nice at the back. The only time I'd really be open to hoops being observed at the back is if there are several of them. In three colour jerseys in particular, and with many two colour combinations it looks poor. The example has already been made about Tipp, Offaly is another. I do think that there is way too much yellow on the front of the Offaly jersey.

    Why more teams don't adopt patterns similar to the Cork goalkeeper's jersey I don't understand. It looks unreal. But by and large, I'd argue that designs have improved an awful lot in the last 10 years.

    That is predominantly because I am young and not much of a tradionalist of course.

    I prefer the embriodered crest/coat of arms on the jersey!

    Handwash them, that way the crest will not go all wonky.

    O'Neills made most crests smaller. There is no 'feel' to the jersey with screen printed crests. For 62.00 euro a pop they would want to have embroidered crests.

    New Leitrim jersey.

    All the new jerseys are now €62.

    I do not like the collarless jersies.

    The Leitrim jersey would look better with the O'Neill's stripes on the sleeves.

    The Bush Hotel sponsor's yellow and green bushes are more like blobs. They look terrible.

    Might be better with a medium in that case I'd say personally.

    Small is 28" and medium would be 30" and 32".

    Well I wear 30" and they are too big and I wouldn't be that small. You could be right though, I'm only guessing really.

    Small is 30-32, medium is 32-34, large is 34-36 etc... Im a 32 (on a good day) 34 waist in jeans and would wear small in the shorts. Newer o'neills shorts are slightly longer than the older (3 or 4 years ago with the logo printed down the sides) ones

    According to the O'Neills rep we were dealing with before Christmas:
    Small = 32"
    Medium = 34"
    Large = 36"

    and the sizes on the shorts will be 32, 34 etc. Not sure why the website doesn't explain that

    That Leitrim jersey is tidy, a good effort from O Neills.

    The Sperrin design togs tend to be a slimer or narrower fit these days. You may need to go the next size up. Just take that into consideration when choosing size.

    have O'Neills increased their sizes in leisurewear recently?

    I usually take a large in hoodies or zip-up tops

    got a large hoodie yesterday as a present. I'm swimming in it
    will have to go back to medium.

    No. The other way around. Slimmer fitting gear now. Standard with most clothes too.

    I'm a medium and had to buy a small in a few things over the last year from O'Neills. Even at that, the hoodies are very baggy.

    Not sure it does, the Kildare shirt doesn't have red trim and the sponsors are quite different.

    Agreed, O'Neills sizes have always been weird. I'm a small in tshirts normally but the sleeves of the O'Neills small are baggy. I'd prob get into an O'Neills 13/14 yrs polo or tshirts. Jumpers and hoodies then I'd be a medium in because the small is too small.

    anybody know if there'll be a chance to do this swap at any location in Dublin or will it always be at league games and shops in Galway itself?

    I'm just loving the image of setting foot in Zambia to be met with a sea of maroon jerseys.
