GAA gear prices 2 dear or reasonable (Jerseys, shorts, socks)

[RTEWW]

THE cost of GAA gear these days is unbelieveable. Jerseys costing £38 pound a go. Shorts costing £15 and if thats not enough now oneills have brought out new socks at £6 a go. what was wrong with the white soul ones which have been out for 40 years. ONEILLS are money grabbing f*** and the same goes for gaelic gear and azzurri. Kids looking jerseys for christmas i may get them retro jjerseys us cork rural men are die hards

You get 3 years out a kit , quite cheap to be honest.

My kids getting great use out of them, easy washed and cleaned.

They have a range of county jerseys from all over 32 counties, you get better wear from them than a cheap top from Premark

Does anyone know how O'Neill's get away with using the 3 stripes? Surely this is trade marked by our german friends.

We as consumers should all go on strike ! Is Donal Og out there - if he's not doing anything, could he organise one for us ?

They are a bit on the steep side but yeah, my GAA jerseys last a good long time. I had a 8 years old jersey that was in fine condition until i dontated to be hung on the wall in a pub in Chelmsford. They really are good quality.

Now that I think of it I have a fair amount of GAA jersies:

The New York one from 2004,
Kerry's blue away jersey.
Meaths last kepak Jersey, home and away,
the current Meath home jersey,
the boston police jersey,
Amaghs current home jersey
and I awaiting the delivery of a replica of my club jersey as well. 
Interation Rules Irish Jersey and shorts.
I also have Meath Tracksuit bottoms,
meath fleece top,
Meath Waterproof jacket,
Sleeveless Meath vest thing, (to show off my guns  )
meath bermuda shorts.
Meath hat
2 Meath polo shirts
And also the Meath 88' Retro jersey

all i need is a pair of Meath underwear and socks and i could be head to toe in meath

[orangeman]

Head to toe in Meath ??   

[orangeman]

Some sad individuals ( including myself  ) on here !! Sleeveless vests ?

[orangeman]

Elverys sell Meath thongs if you're interested !

Apparently O'Neills had the stripes first, but only trademarked them for Ireland. O'Neills and Adidas have an agreement where Adidas can sell their stuff in the South and O'Neills can sell theirs in the North.

Thanks for that

I've a batter load of O'Neills gear myself, but unlike the juice I won't list them off, I do have the louth boxer shorts though 

I think O'Neills stuff is very good quality and apart from footwear I would rarely wear sportswear that wasn't O'Neills nowadays.

Amazing the difference in price of the same football boots! Was wandering around a SC last night, went into one shop where they had Addidas boots for €60, the exact same boots (I mean exact same, both made in Germany) were €120 in the lifestyle sports around the corner  Pays to look around.

Very high quality stuff indeed. In fact one of the lads in our club is still wearing the 1991 "Kersten Hunik" jersey about the place...although I'm not sure if that is a statement on the quality of O'Neills gear or on how miserable the guy in question is.
