    If they had left the Darker Green all over rather then the light Green added in middle would have been very nice.

    A possible 8 or 9/10 returns a 3/10

    Cork certainly do like the smell of their own... Next year it ll be someone else. I hope they dont forget General Patrick Cleburne...one of the greatest field commanders of the civil War. They could do a Confederate jersey ...that would go down well with the 'Woke' brigade

    We have sadly turned in to a disgrace of a nation for shame in ourselves so it’s good to see someone prominent having a bit of pride.
    Looking forward to seeing the actual jersey. Black always looks well.

    Kerry jerseys are shocking. The one last year was a fine jersey. Plainer the better I think

    That goldie thing they wear sometimes is an abomination. Like something youd see a French rugby team wear, just short of the ads.

    Its to commemorate two elected lord mayors who died to defend the democratic decision of the Irish people in 1918.

    Great to see that at least one part of our association hasn't forgotten our past.

    That's fine but they shouldn't be commemorated by the GAA. It's a non political organisation.

    Its not actually. Perhaps you should read the constitution. The association is committed to the promotion of Irish culture and heritage. Its on first page. The commitment to our games as part of promoting Irish identity and so on.

    It is non party political but it is a nationalist organisation or at least ought to be and Cork CB are upholding the founding ideals of our association.

    Both were also members as far as I know. Days of hiding and distorting our history are gone my friend. With Conor Cruise O'Brien and Charlie Flanagan/

    Kerry hurlers wore an 'alternative' alternative vs Meath last weekend.

    Its a lot better than that goldie thing!

    Traditionally didn't Kerry always wear a version of the Munster railway cup jersey if thee was a clash of colours?

    That's fine but they shouldn't be commemorated by the GAA. It's a non political organisation.

    From the first page of the GAA's official guide:
    Since she has not control over all the national territory, Ireland’s claim to nationhood is impaired. It would be still more impaired if she were to lose her language, if she failed to provide a decent livelihood for her people at home, or if she were to forsake her own games and customs in favour of the games and customs of another nation. If pride in the attributes of nationhood dies, something good and distinctive in our race dies with it. Each national quality that is lost makes us so much poorer as a Nation. Today, the native games take on a new significance when it is realised that they have been a part, and still are a part, of the Nation’s desire to live her own life, to govern her own affairs.

    While the GAA is non party political and non-sectarian, it's absolutely not non-political. It has a view and aims in promoting pride in Ireland and remembrance of our history.

    They wore the gold (which I actually like, as a novelty) against Offaly, so I presume they wanted to avoid a yellow-gold clash with Meath. Shorts are practically identical too.

    I saw their under 20s in the new ones in the flesh and from a distance the jerseys look like AFL vests. The yellow sleeves just look invisible. It's awful

    On last years one was it just me or were the numbers on the back way, way too high in the jersey? Did anyone else notice that?

    Yup. The numbers we're very high and they ruined an otherwise beautiful shirt.

    Traditionally where there is a clash, both teams wear the provincial colours.

    As Leinster colours are Green and White and Ulster colours are Gold and Black, it invariably meant that Kerry changed their colours.

    It's a rare thing that they'd play Leitrim and London so it wouldn't really matter on the non-Mayo side of Connacht.

    The numbers were like that to make the number easier to see - not as much of the number in the gold stripe.

    Anyone want to have a stab at the last game where they had to resort to provincial colours due to a clash? Last I know of is Donegal Vs. Leitrim, 2007

    Would love if they kept up that tradition but I suppose, like everything in the GAA, economics takes over.

    Galway’s regular ‘away’ jersey is white and Westmeaths is green.

    Really?

    I was probably at that game. Fecked if I can remember who was wearing what.

    But, since 1992, Donegal have been in gold with green whereas Leitrim have been primarily green. I can't recall any change being required, certainly can't recall Donegal wearing gold and black (like they would have in 1990/1991 vs Meath and like Down wore against Cork in 2010.

    Those are just their normal alternative jerseys though. Even then, Galway's is just a reversal of their normal jersey. Connacht jerseys have blue on them, Galway's doesn't. Westmeath wore green vs. Cork as well, who were wearing white-not a provincial colour.

    We’re these jerseys the same ones worn in the Railway at the time? Though with Donnelly (McDonnell?) on them instead of the county sponsor.

    Should apply this to that awful Super11s nonsense in Amercia.

    That looks like an older version before the black and tan monstrosity. The new away one is a lighter shade of blue than that and has lime green accents
