Happy that Kildare have found a sponsor.

Very annoyed that the fcukwits in the Kildare County Board have added colours to what should be an all-white jersey to fit in with the sponsor's logo.

It makes no sense. Does any other team in GAA or any sport modify the colour of the jersey to match the sponsor's branding?

It's arguable that the dark green on the Kildare jersey came the shade used on the Tegral logo. Waterford incorporated the Waterford Co-op colours into their jerseys from 1996-2000:

Kerry wont be in their traditional green and gold for the Mayo game.
I would say its the first time Mayo played them in an away strip as I think Mayo have changed many times before.


1981 All-Ireland semi-final  - Kerry in all-blue and Mayo in all-white

Nicky Murphy at full forward for the langers. Darragh O'Se is out training for a potential return at full back in the semi .

Is my memory deceiving me or did he play there in one of the International Rules tests in 2002?

Roscommon did wear blue with a gold hoop but when they reached the 1943 All-Ireland final against Cavan but due to the colour clash they had to change, Central Council presenting them with what would become known as the primrose and blue, which was retained after that win, with the old-style jerseys retained as their alternatives

Yeah Leitrim got rid of the gold hoop sometime in the late 80s and early 90s.

Donegal did have green with a gold hoop as their change jersey when they first moved to Azzurri, though the last one was a reverse of the gold jersey.

As far as I know the gold jerseys and green shorts were first worn against Kerry in a challenge match in 1963, I'm not sure when they reverted back to green with a gold hoop. In 1992 they also wore the Ulster colours against Fermanagh

Hurling Discussion / Re: CORK NEW HELMET'S

As far as I know Ronan Curran's day job is the selling(& perhaps manufacturing) of hurling helmets so I presume that all the players wore those helmets to support his businessas a form of marketing.

I do remember that in the Tipp game a few weeks back that they all wore red helmets except Niall McCarthy had his white one on then.

McCarthy wore a red helmet http://www.sportsfile.com/id/522925/  Patrick Horgan was the only one not to have a red helmet as the one he was given was the wrong size. For subsequent games he used his blue helmet covered with red insulating tape

Article on this subject coming soon on the website Pride In the Jersey. For those who like reading legalese:

Adidas (the plaintiff) commenced operations in 1947 as manufacturer and distributor of sports footwear which was marked with a distinctive design and fashion of three diagonal coloured stripes on each boot. In 1967 Adidas began to manufacture sportswear such as tracksuits which had a distinctive three stripe design down the sides of the arms and legs of the tracksuits and jerseys manufactured by that company. In 1976, the plaintiff began manufacturing their products in Ireland which brought them into competition with the defendants (O'Neill & Co). The defendants were long established in the Irish sports market, manufacturing its own sports apparel. In 1965 O'Neill began putting stripes on its products. The number of stripes varied on what was ordered from 1 to 3 but within a few years it concentrated on a three stripe design. Evidence was given at the trial that the three stripe design has been used by manufacturers of sports wear in many other countries, but that Adidas were the only manufacturers who exclusively used the particular arrangement of light coloured stripes of equal width set against a differently coloured background. Adidas claimed that O'Neill by the use of the three striped design in the manner stated was passing off the products as the products of Adidas. The defendant claimed that the Adidas three striped design was not part of the goodwill of Adidas. To establish such a claim for passing off the plaintiff would have to prove that he had an exclusive association with a particular design on its products in Ireland.

In the High Court it was held by MacWilliam J that the plaintiff had failed to establish essential reputation in Ireland in relation to the three stripe design and that no confusion had been caused by the defendant's use of the three stripe design.

Held By O'Higgins CJ, Hederman J concurring dismissing the appeal.

1. The use of the stripes of varying colours and numbers on sports garments was a fashion in the trade and that the defendants in resorting to fashionable demands had not attempted to deceive or pass off and had in fact not done so.

Held by Henchy J dissenting

1. In allowing the appeal and granting the plaintiffs an injunction restraining the defendant from selling or offering for sale sports garments bearing the three stripe arrangement to be found on such garments when manufactured by or for Adidas.

3. The evidence at the trial of the action was sufficient to sustain the plaintiffs claim that the three stripe design had become part of the goodwill of Adidas.

4. The plaintiffs had acquired a recognised and protectible property right which was sufficient to entitle them to a common law trade mark (apart from registration of a trade mark) protectible by a passing off action.

New article added to the site, outlining the problems in sorting out a colour clash when Dublin and Cavan met in 1960.

For a lad that never reads the papers.......



he sure reads a lot of papers!

If only he had had an opportunity to deny the Xposé story, if only the makers of the radio show had tried to contact him  ???

Also, did anyone else notice that the bit about him going on Xposé was out of sequence with the rest? It zoomed in on the date of the paper, July 18, but this bit was shown between the two Cork games, which were in June.

Shameful to think some of the crowd in Croke Park spat at him when he was playing for Australia against Ireland in 1987.

not to mention their range of "international" jerseys now - that have 2 stripes instead of 3

Clumsy naming on O'Neills' part, the "international" refers only to being able to sell them abroad, as to have three stripes on them would infringe on adidas's trademark
