    you're not speaking to a Mayo fan (in any way shape or form) there.


    I reckon you hit that nail full square on the head alright.

    That's a bit harsh, it's just a bit of banter!

    Anybody know anything about a photoshoot today?

    Until today I'd no idea of the location of the Elverys Sports warehouse.:D

    But some beady eyed work colleagues spotted a Mayo player doing what appeared to a photoshoot.

    Is a new jersey due to be launched?

    I went down for a gawk but couldn't make out who it was.

    Possibly Oisín Mullin.

    Not sure how 5m will make much of a difference in the grand scheme of things??

    A query I would have is why these works couldn't have commenced sooner while Mac Hale Park lay idle as it will now not be available for use until next year.

    I don't think anyone could have predicted how COVID was going to turn out. Also the fundraising plan for this was only started late last year, so the idea of doing this or even the planning was probably only in its infancy in the latter part of 2020.
    Also - not sure if laying a pitch would have constituted essential works, so likely no work would have taken place for a large amount of the past 12 months anyway.

    I’m guessing the county board wouldn’t be able to afford to purchase the sods?

    Wonder what situations the gaa allow counties to get sods from their own company. You would think that with no concerts that there would be capacity for us. The gaa probably want to use it for Parnell park and other Dublin pitches...

    New Mayo jersey is out today.

    https://www.con-telegraph.ie/2021/03/15/new-mayo-home-jersey-for-2021-launched/

    Not crazy about the collar nor the red on the sleeve.

    The white stripes on the shoulder are nice.

    Nice touch the white collar/rim at the bottom of the sleeves.

    Kind of retro look IMO.

    Whoever designs kits for O'Neills is like a child with too many crayons. Their jerseys are way too detailed to look good in 99% of cases. They either blatantly rip off other manufacturers soccer jerseys (the last Mayo kit / Man United of a couple of years ago), or make a complete hames of it like in this case.

    Better than the stray red stripe that made its way to the back of the last jersey.

    Just the red in the collar putting me off. Like the rest of it to be honest. May grow on me yet.

    Yeah tend to agree with the consensus here too. Not a great effort by O'neills. The "Mayo Day" version is their best effort in awhile imho - for the one game it was used for!

    Not an initial fan of the pinstripes on it. Might be nicer in the flesh but it very much has a retro look to it.
