2016 GAA Jerseys

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

This is a good point, but i wouldnt say it about just Dublin. Antrim get a serious lash of different gear and leisurewear compared to other counties. Obviously they have the factory shop up there and whatnot, but one look at their page on the website shows the different varieties that for instance a bigger county like cork or dublin dont get

The majority of the Northern Teams get a far better range of apparel. Tyrone is another example of getting ranges that bigger counties don't. They have some lovely supporters gear.

O'Neill's always seem to put slightly more effort into Dublin jerseys compared to other counties.

Whereas everyone else has got the generic no collar jersey Dublin gets something a bit different.

Dunno how you can say that the Dubs jersey has more effort put into it. Where? The Dubs jersey has always been one of the simplest and plainest ones out there. Very few bells and whistles. And plenty of counties have a collar on their jersey. No special treatment there either.

They have phased the collar out for all counties. Dublin is the only new one I've seen retaining the collar. It's not a bad jersey although the last one was nicer.

still on the wexford shirts anyway, though theyre due a change and itll probably get the boot

Can't believe we didn't go with white shorts. I really can't especially given the whole "drawn from history" guff.

That being said, it's a beaut. And going on the list.

almost like Man City

lets hope they do as well as they did this year!

My kid is a Man City fan and has this years jersey; looks very similar and will be almost like buying the same jersey twice, except without Aguero on the back. Ah well. Its still a lovely jersey.

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

So more kids have hurls and footballs!

Its not like Costello is buying villas in Marbella

Wow, great post.

What he does with the jersey in the privacy of his own home, is his business. But Dublin GAA thanks him for his contribution to their coffers, none the less.

this might be a stupid question, but does anyone know if Limerick are getting a new GAA jersey this year?

Doesn't seem likely.

The current shirt was released in 2014. So This will be the last year of it most likely.

The whole range is still full price on the O'Neill's website as well. That's a dead giveaway usually.
