2016 GAA Jerseys

Seems to be a case that the 3 stripes rights might only extend to jerseys up North or that the rights are for this State's jurisdiction only and that it's greyer up North.

I hadn't looked at the URL before clicking and half expected you were going to make a joke at the Dubs by linking to a Leicester 16/17 jersey...

Weren't there rumours of a new shirt provider for Dublin at one point?

So here we go...


2 more days... Get a sneak peak of what the All-Ireland Champions will be wearing in the Summer here:

Looks like a white colour and white shoulder stripes.

Seems to be a bit of light blue striping down the goalie shirt too that you can see.

Have to laugh at the commerciality around the product launch of the new Dublin jersey when you constantly hearing about the 'amateur ethos' of the GAA.....

What do you mean by commerciality?

Would you rather a s***ty picture of a shirt on a hanger a la Offaly instead? Maybe the DCB want to sell some of these.

It's only a matter of time before the likes of dublin will have their jerseys made by adidas or nike, they came close to signing a deal but ultimately decided to stay with o'neils, which i know is an irish manufacturer however i feel the jerseys are of poor quality.

Well the GAA have rules about that. If Nike and and Adidas want to set up manufacturing in Ireland then off they go.

Re poor quality? What way do you mean? I have had all my jerseys in great nick and in fact it's the Nike ones that are more in rag order than the O'Neills ones and tbh I am petrified about washing some of my Umbro gear.

Of course they do. Is that not commerciality? They want to sell some of them.....

Clonmel Commercials and Commercials HC, Rathcoole would like a word .

I'm struggling to understand your point, are you saying that because the players are amateur there should be no money exchanged anywhere in the GAA? If there's jerseys to be sold, they may as well make a big deal of it in order to sell the maximum jerseys possible.

We could split the jerseys in two?

Kerry had taken that step previously - http://m.independent.ie/sport/croke-park-row-stalls-kerrys-adidas-kit-deal-26182863.html

In the end that Adidas logo was a "sponsor" for want of a better phrase and not a manufacturers logo.

Not many sponsors get their name on the tag of the jersey mind you.

That's how it was sold to the hierarchy of the GAA. They were merely sponsoring them.

That sounds more like a myth. Similar to the story that O'Neills can use 3 stripes because they sell it as being 2 stripes within a white block.

A quick google of "adidas GAA" seems to dispell it too. The jerseys were manufactured in Ireland so were alright.

That article was posted above.
The article above seems to be an issue with GAA logo licencing.

The GAA had initially not allowed the Adidas logo on the shirts at all (after the demise of Millfield) and then relented. However there was a supply issue.

One of the reasons around that time IIRC is what I mentioned above and as far as I was concerned was the fact of the matter. I never remember that Kerry shirt making it to shops. But they hardly went 3 years (1998-2000) without.

you reckon? id rather an oneills jersey any day over the stuff adidas and nike and the lot dish out

show me a soccer shirt or rugby shirt that is 'breathable'

Tbh though O'Neill's jerseys are a sickler for sweat, you end up stinking after an hour or two
