I saw on the Star today that the GAA are going to have numbers on front and back of intercounty jerseys, starting in January. I assume all the jerseys will take on a new format so?
What on under Jesus will they think of next ?
Jerseys to be numbered from 2008
by Brian Murphy, 22 September 2007
Inter-county jerseys will have numbers printed on both the front and the back from next season.
The move could herald the end of referees having to ask players to turn around to show their number's after thay are booked.
The new rule will be enforced from the satrt of next season, but only inter-county teams will have to adhere from the start of next season.
The issue was discussed at Congress in April but the GAA decided not to implement the rule until 2008 as most team jerseys had already been designed.

Because having to turn around took up some much time ::)

Could ??? ::)
But I'm glad they sorted out that problem anyway!
As long as they don't look as horrible as the QUB Sigerson jerseys which has numbers on the front this year.

theyd be better numberin them from 1 :D
Here we go again!! Not only are the paying public fleeced by the GAA through exorbitant entrance fees, now the clubs will have to (eventually) replace all their kits. Where do they think the money is going to come from? Many clubs are struggling financially as it is.
I've got it!! The GAA will pay for them?

It didn't stop the referee causing a scene when asking a "talkative" QUB player to turn around for his number in the Sigerson Final. The QUB Player informed him his number was on his chest, but then 2-3 minutes of comedy ensued as the ref tried to get the player to turn around. With him just holding his number on his chest out to the ref!
I think it's a good idea from the spectator's point of view and can only help officials as well. I can't see that it will add great expense for clubs. I can't imagine they'll be forced to dump their good gear - I'd expect the ruling to apply to any new gear purchased.
Surely clubs could just add numbers to the existing jerseys? It's not rocket science - it would hardly cost a fortune! Some people just love a good moan!
Just out of interest, would the numbers be small, or as big as those on the back and where would they sit in relation to the sponsors logo?
I'd say they would be small - like so

Good idea in my opinion, especially for hurling when you're watching a team you're not familair with and they're all helmeted.
Good to see some people cribbing about it already! ::)

From what I've read, this applies to inter-county teams only. Club teams won't be effected.
I can't remember where I read that though, I'll see if I can find it
Here's the piece I read - it's from hoganstand.com
Quote
All inter-county GAA jerseys will have their numbers visible from all angles next year, it has been announced by Croke Park.
All jerseys will have their numbers on both their front and back but clubs won't be forced to go the same road.
"It will come in from January next year," GAA President Nickey Brennan confirmed. The move had been mooted at Congress in April but it was decided to not to apply the ruling until 2008."
Referees will thus no longer have need to ask players to turn around so as to identify their numbers.
Will this mean that all teams will be getting new jerseys next year?
I wouldnt be too happy if mayo had got a new jersey last year and only use it for the one year before then change it.

I think it has to be really old to count! 2 or 3 years out of date, you just look like you can't be bothered getting the new one; 20 years old and you're hardcore!
Shite jersey. Shite crest.

Is there any way of knowing which counties will be changing their jerseys soon? Just don't want to splash cash on Christmas presents if they are going to be out of date in a few months.

You could be fairly sure that any of the ones less than full price on the O'Neill's website are on the way out.

That's a very good question, some of the Kildare purists who were up in arms at the few games in the qualifiers where Kildare had to wear green will not be happy with this new addition of colour, but at least it remains undoubtedly mostly white ;)
Stumbled across this site recently, http://www.prideinthejersey.com/
A lot of work involved as you can see and the addition of a bit of maroon for Kildare is a big break with recent tradition!
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?
That new Kildare sponsor looks hideous on the jersey IMO.

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:

Supermacs to be announced as sponsors of both the Galway hurlers (who they've been sponsoring since way back) and footballers this evening. Both to wear the exact same jersey as well for the first time in a long time. Presume it will be unveiled tonight as the footballers are meant to be wearing it against Derry next weekend.

I'd say they haven't done much so far anyway. Just back training there very recently. They had a long year last year and don't have a serious game in the championship until nearly the Leinster final next July. Footballers have apparently been training very hard alright. Whether it does them any good or not.

Yeah we back with oneils at last apparently azzurri in financial trouble. Got to admit think its great to be back with oneils as their jerseys are always far better quality and they also have much better selection of county gear (jackets,hoodies etc)
Looks like they just colour swapped the Tyrone jerseys, though.

I think this is a lovely jersey.

Like our current Hospice jerseys, best looking Roscommon jerseys since the Dermot and Tony Mac days. Someone went fiddling with the font size of the logo last year and made it look worse. I guess we're going ahead with the same basic jerseys for a third year?

Picked up the new Dublin jersey in oneils today. €23 for it as was marked as a 2nd jersey. It's 1 the nicest jerseys been out over the last few years
Why would someone from Donegal buy a Dublin jersey? I can understand wearing one at training if you got a swap after a game or something, but I can't imagine wearing a Kerry jersey or anything like that? I find it strange wearing the Tipperary gear we get with the Development squads :)

Why would someone from Donegal buy a Dublin jersey? I can understand wearing one at training if you got a swap after a game or something, but I can't imagine wearing a Kerry jersey or anything like that? I find it strange wearing the Tipperary gear we get with the Development squads :)
Worse still it's a reserve jersey. 2nd's jersey. The reserve team. :)
2nd's jersey means there is a flaw in it and can't sell it for full price anyone that's ever been in oneils store in strabane will know what I'm on about. Personally don't see any harm in having other county jerseys not like il forget where I'm from because I have them
Fair enough. You must get a lot of 'what part of Dublin/Galway/Kerry/Tyrone are you from?' type questions, and a lot of puzzled looks when you say Donegal :D
In fairness to you , I have soccer jerseys from Liverpool, Coventry, AC Milan, Roma, Lazio, Benfica, Sporting Lisbon, Brazil, Italy, France etc etc etc. I used to wear them playing soccer or training. Now I wear them as pyjamas in the winter :)

I was going to use that as part of my argument for it being normal, I would own way more gaa jerseys than soccer 1s. I'd wear them for training etc and if I'm just in the house and most people who know me knows I collect them :)

And they did

The sponsors logo should blend in with the jersey.

What's the story?
I think new jerseys are all about greasy fingers in tills. Pure commercialism.
Offaly apparently have yet another new jersey. This must be the 5th or 6th in the last 10 years?
New jersey for Donegal.
Thought the old one was one of the nicest we've had, but this is not too bad.
We've had a hoop before, albeit the Kerry style one with gold hoop on a green jersey. ALthough is that technically a hoop?
WTF is with the sponsor logo though? :o
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CZkenU8WkAAJCEy.jpg:large)
That logo is a brutal clash. And they stuck it on the back for good measure.
Sponsorship logos of recent times have become ludicrous, ruining decent looking jersey designs. Westmeath, Armagh, Louth and now Donegal spring to mind.
The sponsor logos have got a lot bigger of late and now have taken to being plastered over the back too. Horrendous looking.
Why should the sponsorship logos be up to 5x the size of a crest.
Jerseys should remain stylish with discreet sposorship. Kids would want them and want to wear them regularly. You'd then maximize the exposure to sponsors while retaining a county identity, not being a corporate whore
That Donegal jersey is brutal. The last one they had was class too.
Some of those designers at O'Neills really don't have a clue. Just stick shapes anywhere.
J70 always wanted to know, were Donegal ever Green with yellow hoop or was that an away jersey in the late 80s/early 90s?

Totally agree. Some of the sponsors logos in recent times are horrendous and too prominent altogether.
Exhibit 1

Way too big and totally out of sync with the jersey.

Is there really a need for that large yellow box on a Maroon jersey? Hideous looking IMo.
The Down and Donegal jerseys pictured already above are less garish. The white logo for example isn't terrible on the Down jersey but the logo seems excessively large. The Donegal new jersey is a move away from the inobtrusive Donegal Creameries logo into a more obtrusive colour scheme. Again, mightn't be a huge deal to some people (and no doubt is the result of a decent sponsorship deal) but it's a route I don't like to see us going down. Just my own view. I can't help but picture Australian Rugby League jerseys here..forgive me!

There's a different sponsor and logo on the back.
French soccer/rugby shirts and latin american soccer clubs spring to mind. Logos everywhere. Ulster rugby can be guilty until very recently of overloading with sponsors.
That Westmeath one - jesus could they not see that having white text would be more tasteful.
Taste has nothing to do with it :) They want their logo to be noticeable and stand out. God be with the days of the tiny words on the front of the jersey.

Remember seeing footage of Donegal v Tyrone in the 1972 Ulster final and they were wearing yellow jerseys and green shorts.

Perhaps thinking of the Down away shirt in 94 against Cork when they both changed?
They wore the Ulster colours v Meath in 1990
Donegal shirt isn't bad apart from the sponsor...
https://www.oneills.com/laois-gk-jersey.html hard to bate the Laois away strip they were up and down in both codes...Its 3 years old now but still a cracker!
Least the sponsors logo fits in well with the new Sligo jersey
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CZpsP_WW0AE9M9N.jpg)
Sligo ain't bad who makes them?Long time since Sligo were O'Neills and why did Sligo change to Black??
Are Sligo moving back towards the white jersey slowly? They used to be all white with black trim before they beat Kildare up in Croker I think?
Donegal up until the mid 1960's wore green jerseys with a hoop but changed to a gold jersey for a short period in the late 70's. What we see today was adopted for their All Ireland run in 1992.

Think green with yellow hoop was the traditional one, but then they went to the gold jersey in the 60s, before going back to the green/yellow hoop in the 80s.
We went back to the gold jersey again due to the clash with Mayo in the '92 semi, and then decided to stick with it for good. We had a clash with Fermanagh earlier that same season, but just wore Ulster colours.
Now, since 2011, we change to white when there's a clash. Before that, the green/yellow hoop was the change jersey.

Another decent, uncluttered effort from Kukri for Sligo, it is a pity Kildare's county board turned them and their offer of loadsamoney down a couple of years ago.
I must say I've been very impressed with the quality of Kukri products (Ulster rugby training gear).
Hopefully they continue to challenge the monopoly held by O'Neills.

I've no experience of buying in bulk but I'm sure they are worth a look. Most rugby clubs have them and its always nice to have something different whilst sticking to local.
Was quite impressed with kukri. Went to their shop in Victoria Square to get a few Christmas presents, in and out in 5 mins, easy to find the right sizes straight away unlike O'Neill's where everything is all over the place and the only sizes ever left are xxxxl. They were good value also

Does this not go against the GAA ethos by using a non irish company to supply kit?
Never liked the sligo jersey but this is an improvement
I have seen plenty of GAA training gear designed by Kukri and all appears good in terms of quality and design. I am talking about polo tops, fleeces, jackets, training tees etc. However, on the playing strip side of things I have seen max 5 kits which is a shame as they appear to pushing hard to break into the GAA side of things but it is hard to break the monopoly that O'Neills hold. It wont happen overnight and will require a sustained period of pushing hard on Kukri behalf to enable them to break the mould.
O'Neills need someone to keep them on their toes - some of the McRory Cup teams or maybe all of them are getting their playing gear from a crowd called Masita but I know nothing about them in terms of quality etc.
Some of the casual GAA gear that clubs are getting now on an increasing basis from the likes of Nike, Puma and Adidas are top notch and really look the part - the GAA store in Portydown are doing a good job on that side of things.
Just had a look on their website - errrrr lol
The DNA of Kukri Sports dates back to 1979, when the British Army Gurkhas and RAF joined together to create a stronger rugby club, the Flying Kukris. They officially became one club, when in true Kukri Sports tradition, a tailor was tasked with stitching the shirts of both clubs together to create a bespoke playing kit.

That is absolutely ridiculous and fairly distasteful. Along the lines of those terrible pink jerseys they release which most normal people would assume would contribute to breast cancer charities/awareness/scams but no all the profit went back to O'Neills.
Overall there is a lot of good things about O'Neills as a company (goods not made in Bangladeshi sweatshops afaik) but there badly needs to be competition in the GAA market to keep the standards up and the costs for clubs down.
New Kildare change jersey isn't bad either apart from the Brady Family on the back:

Its up there with those kn**ker fake Dublin tops that have hill 16 on it and something like a city that defeated an empire. I cringe when I see some knob in one of those.
Still not as bad as the Carlow jersey.

I know well they do. Whenever I call into 'Obama Plaza' in Moneygall on the way down from Dublin during ploughing week, it's a migraine inducing scene with all the multicoloured ploughing jerseys with pigs, cows, ducks and tractors on them. Rarely see them at training afterwards for some reason :)

Looks like a tidy effort alright. Prefer the brighter shade of green. Let's hope we can put it to good use!
Yeah the shade of green is an improvement too, the real dark one they had for a while was an unnecessary change.

New Meath jersey, standard enough, no sponsor on the back is a good thing.

Indeed and they're thinking "Putting 7 stars on a jersey is ridiculous!"
The 7 stars were first put on the Meath jersey in 2006 and have stayed there ever since. It offers us something to cling onto especially during these barren years!! But I feel we missed a trick by not adding another star for our O'Byrne Cup win last Sunday..

Serious question. As it is a county jersey, as opposed to a 'code' jersey, do they put the stars on the hurling jersey as well? What about underage jerseys, do they have the star, or do they have the stars for that grade?
Would/should Offaly have a 3 star football one, and a 4 star hurling one, or just put 7 on them all?

Interesting question and I've never actually thought about it like that before, so I had to do a bit of research! It appears that all jerseys, including the hurlers and underage teams in Meath carry the 7 stars. So, if Offaly were to follow this example, then they would put 7 stars on all their jerseys. Our hurling jersey has a different sponsor, the design itself is the same, but I've never seen it available to buy online or in shops. Hurling definitely plays second fiddle to football in the county so I'd imagine O'Neills didn't really consider the hurlers when they included the 7 stars. If there was more of a 50/50 split between football and hurling in the county, then maybe it would be reconsidered. But like you said, it's a county jersey as opposed to a code jersey..

Down away is lovely.
The problem with ONeills jerseys for me is all the sponsors logos are the central theme of the shirt. It takes away from the county crest and color. I liked the retro jerseys best these "nascar" styled shirts are way too tacky. Less is more.

Very few companies would be willing to part with big bucks to sponsor an inter county team, if their logo wasn't clearly visible on the front of the jersey. It's a form of advertising for them. If it's made smaller and relegated to a part of the jersey, that you have to strain your eyes to see it, then what's the point, from a commercial point of view?

Nope. Im actually ordering a team strip at the moment with O Neills. I think their material has really improved its just the sponsors logos i have a problem with for supporters.
Just looked at the run down list some cracking jerseys there, personally i think Antrims is one of the best but that might be biased! lol. Just seen the article about Dublin maybe changing from O'Neills, would this be good for the GAA having the biggest team in the country with another supplier? equally, would it be a downfall for O'Neills in that with more competition they wouldn't have the market cornered as much as they do? i like oneills gear but i find it very over priced and very little unique to each team/ county.
Just one other thing I asked O Neills to replace the new GAA logo(which is pure an utter mingin) with the traditional Celtic cross and they weren't allowed to do it. GAA is very controlling, its a side of the organization I don't like. BTW this was only for our own team.

they have regulations on size of sponsor on front and back
number of logos allowed on front or back
more rules than a communist state

Nice kit. Just wish the gaa would go get a new phographer. The lovely ladies in a sour grimace pose thing needs to go.
That dubs kit obviously should have white shorts. Looks like the overall design was changed to have navy represented

All jerseys have a second sponsor on the back now though. The text would look better over the logo and the number alright, that's the first time I've seen it done like that.
Shite looking Cavan jersey. The font for An Cabhán is shite. The logo above the number on the back is shite. The white patch containing the crest is especially shite. But it'll do them rightly sure they'll be out before August anyway, don't know why they even need a new jersey.

I like O'Neills' gear, nice designs, works well and compared to soccer jerseys they're still pretty cheap.
Can't see anyone who already owns last year's Westmeath top buying this year's one, I wonder what the point was in this so called redesign. I think the Cavan one is quite nice though (from the front - the back is awful).

Indeed there isn't...

This.
We;ve had gear from Kukri, MAsita and O'Neills, as well as training tops, tracksuits and the like from a good few others at this stage. You can't beat O'Neills for quality, longevity and even appearance I think.
We just had an option for our development squad. Free top from one of those other manufacturers, or a €15 contribution to get an O'Neill's one. The parents, to a man/woman, picked the O'Neills, even though it was going to cost them €15.
That's true, a few counties tried other brands and were not happy with the quality or quantity of the gear received and went back to ONs. Re the designs, they are limited to what each county board allows. CBs invariably want to stick to their traditional and as such ONs are limited in what they can do.

We just had an option for our development squad. Free top from one of those other manufacturers, or a €15 contribution to get an O'Neill's one. The parents, to a man/woman, picked the O'Neills, even though it was going to cost them €15.
If Adidas/Puma/Nike were allowed near the GAA I think O'Neills would shit themselves!
To be fair though there is something about an O'Neills GAA jersey that everybody loves but they do have a ridiculous competitive advantage with the 'made in Ireland' rule!

That's true, a few counties tried other brands and were not happy with the quality or quantity of the gear received and went back to ONs. Re the designs, they are limited to what each county board allows. CBs invariably want to stick to their traditional and as such ONs are limited in what they can do.
That's true Lily, re design, but I think O'Neills normally suggest a few options, (after getting a steer from the CB), and the CB picks one or the other.
Some of the oneills designs are brutal though guys. Big swishes across jerseys for no reason whatsoever. From my experience in rugby kukri make some lovely gear.

Dunno whereyou are getting the "illegal monopoly" bit from. Theres plenty of other suppliers in the marketplace. O'Neills cant be beaten on quality and I think clubs and county are pretty loyal to them as well.

The made in Ireland part is pushed to limit by O Neills also. Most of the production is done in cheaper countries and a small bit of final stitching in Ireland to comply. Surely the rule is against European Competition Law.
Come on men - O'Neills have no competition with playing kit. Irish made and licensing has created a monopoly - kukri don't have the wherewithal to break into the market but the uptake of clubs in the north using international brands for training and leisure wear paints a picture.
If the market were opened up O'Neills would be cleaned out on design, quality and particularly customer service.
O, and the Irish produced rule is completely illegal under EU law but just has never been challenged.
O'Neills jerseys are all produced in the Far East anyway and sublimated in strabane and Dublin.
Azzuri, masita and Kukri all make playing kit that is used, and they are all inferior to oneills. I don't understand why you are saying there's no competition. There is, it's cheaper, and people still don't like it.

Indeed there isn't... All playing apparel for the GAA MUST be manufactured in Ireland for Club and County football and Hurling (Not sure about Camogie and Ladies Football but think they're the same) which means there are very very few sports companies who can compete with O'Neill's monopoly on that!
Azzuri threatened for a while but they aren't even close!
Hmmm....if a company has design rights and IP and gets its products made elsewhere then its considered an Irish product in most cases...happens everywhere...do you really think all the 1,000s upon 1,000s of county, club, schools jersies not to mention other gear is made in Strabane or Dublin...smell the coffee ???
The main problem with o' neills is that club orders have to be paid upfront or a substantial deposit.
There is no need for them to deliver on time when they already have your cash banked.
Getting initials on gear is difficult too.

The lad in our club that deals with them has no such problems..
In my experience their customer care is a shambles with respect to meeting delivery dates, getting detail correct on large orders, etc. and how they address these things when they happen.
Everyone will have their own experiences of course.
O'Neills always correct any mistakes made in orders
Other companies are not so quick to do so

Sligo had Azzurri for years and while their jerseys weren't particularly appealing (how hard is it to do an all-black jersey) and had a constant need to throw in other colours (grey FFS) and lines and other pointless crap on the jersey design, the quality of the jersey itself was fairly ok, and their other stuff, jackets, polo shirts, hoodies etc. was actually decent. Unfortunately they've decided to go off to Kukri in recent years and they seem to be inferior in every respect, wouldn't go near any of their gear at all.

Are Sligo not kukri? A lot of clubs are now using a mix of manufacturers for training gear. Adidas, Puma, Nike and Uhlsport are a few I can think of. Kerry were Adidas around 96/97 but then the GAA stepped in I believe.

I've bought a couple of Ulster training tops by kukri recently and they've been top drawer. Maybe kukri have ranges of quality based on cost?

The GAA is not a government Organization and therefore these rules would not apply . when the EU want to Subsidize the GAA then maybe they could could call the odds untill then Fair play to the GAA for supporting Irish jobs which im sure causes them to lose income as the the foreign companies would love to get a slice .
real case of damned if you do damned if you don't
Laois had Azzurri for a good few years and the jerseys were always crap imo. Not the designs more the quality of them.
The training gear and things like hoodies and polo shirts though was pretty good quality stuff.
New Limerick one too, again the fecking logo lets it down, JP should have insisted the front of the jersey was just left blank.

I think it's a case of luck of the draw. I've never had problems through club or school but I know people organising gear in other clubs that had serious problems from O'Neill's in terms of delays and mistakes.
Our club has got a lot of gear from MFC Sports in the last 2 years, new kids on the block gear is as good as o'neill's and 15% cheaper.
The big thing that annoys me about O'Neills is the sizing! Their stuff is massive. I would be around L or XL in most of the Adidas and Nike type gear. I could get away with wearing the normal fit small mans jersey. Things like skinny tracksuit bottoms is a nightmare to find the right size for some of the small fellas on our club senior side.
I am doing the gear for our club and I have found their staff tough enough to deal with, although a lot better than they used to be! They are also very expensive but I think the big thing is their quality is excellent. People will happily pay a little more for good quality. I was sold by the Adidas and Nike club gear when it first came out around the clubs, but now I think it looks a bit spidey and crap looking actually. The under armour gear that Queens university got a few years ago was lovely looking. I was just saying the other day it is amazing the amount of O'Neills gear that the young ones run about in nowadays. It seems to be the 'cool' thing to wear.
A lot of the adidas, Nike, puma etc gear is absolute shite, people think they're getting a good deal on a major brand when in reality the merchandise is total bollox. You might think your team looks like Chelsea or Bayern Munich in their adidas tracksuits but actually compare them with the proper team wear that these brands do and you'll see a world of difference. Our club actually did a big order and a friend of mine who plays for an Irish league team had the same kit manufacturer at the same time, night and day between the two. In that sense, oneills is actually quite good value as it imo matches the main brands for quality whilst also being competitive on price.
This jersey was a great idea!

I think it was Staunton's that bought Elverys and Intersport is a brand like SPAR or Centra so its all part of the company name as in 'Munnellys Centra'

Sligo IT is our associate sponsor. We're always in opposite divisions in the FBD. The Prentyburo are happy with the "draw" they made many years ago. They'll have to change it next year as I think the supreme leader has grown tired of the colleges.
That Cavan jersey is nice. The Sligo one is brutal in my opinion.
Sligo looks like a Liverpool away jersey...seanie won't be happy.
The new Kerry one is lovely

Lovely jersey. The DKIT one isn't bad either.

personally ,I wish you could have the option of buying a jersey without all the ad's.
Players and supporters are beginning to look like formula 1 drivers.
Ironically the only thing that is missing is the name of the county.
I would pay 50% more even double just to be able to wear one without all the sponsorship .

Remind me how O'Neills get around the Adidas 3 stripes again??
They're allowed to use three stripes in Ireland only so UK, US, European, Oz teams all have to use two stripes
It used to be they wouldn't even sell you the 3 stripes versions of jerseys if you lived outside Ireland
Is it not still like that?
i got my last Donegal jersey in 2014. Only two stripes. So-called "international" version.
Got a Ros jersey in 1998.
Got my next one as a Christmas present Dec 2016.
Based on the refresh cycle for jersies we're due a new one this Christmas. I really like the current pin stripe design, so hopefully they keep the spirit of it and maybe tighten up the design of the map, which is still a really unique and cool concept.
New logo is to do with their 100th anniversary in 2018 I believe

personally ,I wish you could have the option of buying a jersey without all the ad's.
Players and supporters are beginning to look like formula 1 drivers.
Ironically the only thing that is missing is the name of the county.
I would pay 50% more even double just to be able to wear one without all the sponsorship .
I know the sponsors pay up, and agree that the players should have to wear them, for TV, photo's etc, but the everyday ordinary supporter??
The only time you have the option of no sponsor is possibly the Ireland rugby shirt or Celtic home.
Thanks,
It is particularly relevent for those supporters outside of Ireland.
People have asked me who are "Elverys"
Wonder why they don't provide that option for GAA supporters.

Because it's an inherent part of the package counties sell to sponsors? Look, as long as the logo is tastefully integrated with the jersey (Westmeath's would be a perfect example of not bothering to do this) then I don't think anyone should have much complaints about the sponsors' logo. This is what sport is in 2017. In fact if it's what the players are wearing then I'd prefer it to match that than look like some sort of off-brand logo-less jersey.

Very few jerseys are tastefully integrated with sponsors anymore though. Kildares is an abomination as was our hunky dory get up. The blue on the front of the cork jersey is jarring just as vodaphone was on the dubs for a few years. Kerry, Elverys, kingspan and a few others are some of the few tasteful sponsors logos left.
Rugby league jerseys are destroyed with multiple sponsors too. Most players look like someone stuck a heap of billboards to a rhino.
The vast majority of jerseys look a lot worse without a sponsor. The problem is just having a sponsor that matches the jersey, and some of them (like Wexford or Westmeath) clash horribly.
If you had an option to take sponsor of the jersey you would cut your sponsorship money in 2 and anyway as someone said above most look look crap.
Tyrone new one is good but new one in the pipeline. Hunky Doreys was brutal
Jerseys are much nicer without a sponsor imo.
That's why if im buying anything I'd usually opt for a training top instead of the jersey. They still have a sponsor but usually far smaller and not plastered right across the front.
The Laois jeresy is as nice as there is but is ruined by the sponsor.

Bloody designers set loose. Going back to the 50s or something like that. 5 all ireland finals since 1986 in the red togs. 3 titles, 2 leagues. Have lost 2 league finals in the white togs v Dublin and Derry. Id be superstitious like that.

::) Such stupidity, aside from the fact that the kit looked much better with the red togs, shur every bloody team had white togs back in the day. Down were the first to change this as far as I'm aware.
Good design on the new Tyrone jersey. It'd be nice if O'Neills changed up the fabric they use to make their jersies but that's probably far too much to ask.

I could be wrong here, but I seem to recall someone telling me (during a drunken discussion about Tyrone football in a Belfast pub) that it was something to do with rugby league. Apparently (and this could be utter bullshit) rugby league found that teams whose jerseys and shorts were same colours picked up fewer upper leg injuries in the tackle than those whose jerseys and shorts were different colours. Like I say, could be ballix, or there could be something in it. In my defence, I was blocked :D

The players' jerseys are also a tighter fit. You can get them from O'Neills online store. The supporters' jerseys are baggy as fúck. In most sports the player versions are made of some sort of space age mesh. Adidas and Nike tops are just nicer to wear. Never tried an Kukri or Masita jersey so I don't know what they're like.
Ironically having all the design elements and sponsors screen printed means the jerseys can take a wash more easily, but they definitely don't feel as premium as what you see in other sports.

All to do with the O'Neills rebranding - go take a look at their website - the only ones still for sale for some counties are the international 2-stripe versions .

Ah yeah of course, but you'd have to be mad to buy anything but the player fit version. I'm convinced they make the normal ones extra baggy to make people spend the extra few quid.
New Kerry jersey is tasty... more plain than recent offerings but looks the part.
Yep well impressed. Bit retro
the red shorts are back :D
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DPLmeTBXcAEkQKM.jpg:large)
Great to see them back. I like that strip. Sponsor fits well.
Great strip fantastic design and the lucky red shorts are back as well. Let's go win some stuff in the new kit. Best of luck to the new sponsors and thanks to McAleer and rushe for their contribution over the years.
Nice kit that - definitely a case of less is more. Keep the design relatively plain - looks much better. If Armagh are due a change (which I don't think one is due), then I hope they take note.
As regards the change to white shorts for Tyrone a few years back, was that not because way back in the day the kit was traditionally all white with a red trim?
Certainly a top seller at Christmas. It would top the Santa wishlists in all 32-counties.

I think the normal period before a jersey change is three years. Exceptions are usually around a change to shirt sponsorship, as was the case when we parted company with Hugh Morgan.

No it seems to be two years now with three being increasingly the exception.
Tyrone's is alright but three things I'm not gone on:
-The collar, looks a bit flimsy
-The three stripes stopping at the shoulders and not going on the sleeve
-The three stars, really unnecessary tbh

There's no set time period for jersey changes - it varies by county but the general trend for most counties is that changes have been getting more frequent.
On average, Dublin tend to change their jersey once every two years but this has varied due to sponsor changes.
Over the last 20 years, new Dublin kits appeared in:
December 1997
May 2000
May 2002
May 2004
November 2006
November 2008
January 2010
November 2012
November 2013
May 2016
Basically an average of one every two years.
In that time, Tyrone had the same kit design from 1999 to 2003 inclusive with a change to the WJ Dolan sponsor's logo in 2001, then did four seasons from 2004-2007 inclusive with their first Rocwell-sponsored kit, then two years in 2008/09 with a different kit, three years from 2010-12 inclusive with a Target Express sponsored kit, two years with Hunky Dorys in 2013-14 and three years with the McAleer and Rushe kit.

I doubt it screen, all their new Slaney range has "O Neills" branded on them. Plus the new International Rules and All Stars jerseys have the old "O'NEILLS" on them too. They might change to "o'neills" on new prins of the jersey but I'd imagine everything else will be unchanged till the next redesign.

Nice kit, but the stars...?
Stars are always a nice touch in my opinion.
Maybe, but Tyrone with three, ourselves sticking two on, Derry one... is it not all a little "small time" when you have Kerry, Dublin and even the likes of Cork, Meath and Galway out there with nothing on their jersey?
It isn't small time winning an all Ireland and those teams deserve to be honoured in that way. Its a nice touch and symbolic. Chill out
I'm very chilled - it's an academic argument which doesn't really matter much.
And I didn't say it was "small time" winning an All Ireland or that such achievements shouldn't be honoured. I watch Donegal's two wins regularly myself. I'd have no objections to statues of McEniff and McGuinness outside MacCumhaill Park someday or murals of Murphy, Manus Boyle and Karl Lacey etc. honoring the players. Whatever a county wants to do. Just not sure that putting a couple of stars on a jersey is the best approach when the most successful counties have nine or ten times as many.
I'd personally rather Donegal did not go down that road. Others are free to disagree.

Tyrone will need a 4th star by next September.

Does that mean we'll have to buy an updated jersey with the 4th start on it? It's genius really!
Meath Done a jersey roughly ten years ago with the 7 stars across the back of it. It was horrendous.

I think the stars are a version of small man syndrome. Cavan could have 5 . Tyrone think 3 is the dog's bollocks. Nobody else compares themselves to Armagh.

Nice kit that - definitely a case of less is more. Keep the design relatively plain - looks much better. If Armagh are due a change (which I don't think one is due), then I hope they take note.
As regards the change to white shorts for Tyrone a few years back, was that not because way back in the day the kit was traditionally all white with a red trim?
we have had the current one for two years which is generally the length of time a jersey lasts
I think the normal period before a jersey change is three years. Exceptions are usually around a change to shirt sponsorship, as was the case when we parted company with Hugh Morgan.
No it seems to be two years now with three being increasingly the exception.
Tyrone's is alright but three things I'm not gone on:
-The collar, looks a bit flimsy
-The three stripes stopping at the shoulders and not going on the sleeve
-The three stars, really unnecessary tbh
Aping the soccer folk
Am i not right in thinking the last jersey had the 3 stars as well (and possibly the one before that as well?)
Not a major fan of it either, but i think the meath one has the same thing?

I didn't think Donegal had the 2 stars on the jersey and we definitely don't have a star on ours. I think it's a bit sad really compared to the other 5 teams you just mentioned and I wouldn't want it on our jersey either.
Reminds me of the soccer AM campaign for England to put the star on their jersey from their WC win in 1966.

Stars on a jersey or not would not really bother me either way. I do know that I'm exceptionally proud that Tyrone have won 3 all Irelands though. Its very much a Irish begrudgery thing whereby we shouldn't be proud of our own achievements because somebody else has been more successful. Its all relative and if Tyrone never win another all Ireland i'll still be happy that I was alive to experience three, regardless of how many more Dublin and Kerry go on to win. So with regards to the 3 stars on the jersey being "sad" because people have more titles than us - meh, who cares!

Correct. Then they had an open draw for the four 97-98 league divisions with a plan to re-align back to tiered divisions again the year after.
Offaly got landed in a group of death with Kerry, Dublin, Monaghan, Tyrone, Sligo, Cavan and Wexford. Offaly won all the games bar a draw with Sligo on the way to the league title.
As with all best laid plans...the problem became that Kerry finished 5th in this Division, therefore were scheduled to begin the next league campaign in Division 3. So a compromise was needed and they created the 1A, 1B, 2A and 2B divisional set up, meaning Kerry were only one promotion from the top flight instead of two.
Kerry breezed through the next league campaign to get back to the top flight, which including an almighty battering of the Kilkenny footballers.

You're only a bitter fear Iarmhí.
O'Neills design team process - look at what Adidas are doing, copy it, apply Adidas style to Kerry and tyrone, mention Paul Galvin, add ridiculous margin, get Joe.ie to say it looks CLASS - watch the money come in over xmas. Sad stuff
Apart from the three stripes there's almost nothing Adidas about the jersies. If they fixed the sizing it'd matter a lot to me than the price. You can get player fit jerseies but the rest of their range doesn't have that luxury.
The new Down jersey will be revealed in O'Neills in Newry tomorrow at 10 in the morning. Complete with five stars on the collar with 60, 61, 68, 91 and 94 written inside them.

Awful jersey. Donegal had a lovely jersey - the first O'Neills one after they won the All Ireland - the one after wasn't as nice and this one to me is awful looking.

I wouldn't think it - handy tip - Check O'Neill's website. If the jersey is on sale at full price then no. If it's reduced watch this space
That Donegal jersey is retro in a bad way. Good jersey design can evoke the past without integrating the elements that severely date it in the process. The 2012 era Donegal jersey was one of the most aesthetically pleasing jerseys ever made by O'Neills.

The Dublin jersey is reduced from 45 to 30
Donegal Jersey has the potential to be class, that design would be great but no need for the 3 green stripes just gold to green would have been great. the sponsor takes away from it also.

Overheard at O'Neills Strabane offices
Here, if its good enough for Man Utd and Adidas... well bey f**k it'll be good enough for DonegalAnyone on here used MFC Sports yet, thoughts?
MFC sports very highly recommended, great value and quality as good as o'neills with designs much better. Some top class gaa men behind it too

What sort of atrocity is the Carlow crest? Was it designed by a transition year student who learnt how to use MS Paint that day? I just can't get over how incredibly poor it is. It barely qualifies as a crest.
The Kilkenny one is similarly atrocious I think.
Edit, and the Kildare one, now that I think of it.
crest are now about copyright not tradition

Yes, But sure you can still come up with a decent improvisation of the old Crest. There was plenty to work with on with the old crest.

To make matters worse the Jersey has ended up double crested - with the Sponsors crest on it as well.

does this jersey double as a 'change' jersey? it looks very like the jersey Down outfield players were wearing last week against Louth and probably will be wearing again tomorrow against Cork.
Yeah I think it's the same jersey. Although it didn't look liked it faded from black to red so much as a more abrupt change, but that's probably just from looking at a distance.
This is a jersey I designed in 2016 for our hurling team. I couldn't believe Kerry were playing with one very similar last night.

The hurlers have usually had a very good following the past 7 or 8 years or so. Getting to 3 All-Ireland finals in that time helps for sure. The footballers not so much but even they have been getting a bigger following the past few years as they slowly improve.

The drop in attendance between the 2016 and 2017 Connacht final was mind boggling GBB. And I'd blame it mostly on Galway supporters because Ros always travel.
Nice to see Donegal bringing back the old traditional shirt for their change option.

I'd say he was busy stretching something else while the O'Neills office staff changed a few colours on an existing template. I'm sure he's gloating all the way to the bank, 50 and Puff will be suitably impressed. You know when you've been Galvanised.

€70 ??? :o

I seen that alright, all the jerseys seem to be hiked up. If you happen to be within reach of the O'Neills stores in Dublin or Strabane it might be worth trying out, from previous visits there the prices there were about 20% lower than what they were charging online or the likes of Elverys etc were charging.
If oneills are charging €70 for jerseys how much are the counties getting back?
The major soccer clubs get multi million sums to be kitted out and after that outlay they charge the same €70.

O'Neills give county boards a wide range of samples or proof jerseys for them to choose from. The county board will have final say in which design they go for. Dublin are rumoured to have received over 50 different styles to choose from.

Are they buck. O'Neills may be a tad on the dear side, but their gear is the best out there imo. From my own county / club, all the gear looks first class
The number of young wans running around in O'Neill's tracksuits and leisure wear is mad. They must be doing some business.
Have to say the MFC sports range is excellent.
Very competitively priced especially compared to O'Neills.
Have noticed more and more clubs ( in the North ) making the switch to them.
They customer service is brilliant.
Agree with the comment made earlier about O'Neills getting complacent. Their customer service is a complete joke.
They've even got a foothold on the Irish Soccer Club market. Many like to wear O'Neills - as you can still feel that bit more Irish even in an O'Neill Soccer tracksuit.

Adidas don't do GAA gear so went to court and O'Neill's won they're allowed 3 strips on all the gaa jerseys. In North they can only do the 2 strips on the leisure wear tho.
£900 for a set of 30 jerseys and getting on for £38 for a football with O'Neills is criminal

I agree with you Fermgael, we have made the switch to Mfc and the quality is first class, priced better than o'neills too but the big thing is the customer service in unequaled, O'Neill's customer service has went badly downhill imo
I know that from ordering my own club gear from O'Neill's that they're an absolute disaster. Ordered a top, when I got it, the secondary colour was incorrect.
Also our club has a very generous sponsor whose only request is that his company's logo be on all gear. It is on the site, but when I ordered gear it came without the logo. I sent them back straight away. They're so lazy, probably trying to save a few cent on thread.

That's horrendous.

You can see where they have tucked/nipped the jersey at the back. There's a bit sticking out. Mustn't have made the player fit ones yet
i said it last year, o'neills look at adidas and a few of the premiership teams and duplicate. Zero creativity in the jerseys, gear and marketing. Plus to be the guts of 50 quid for the jerseys is robbery.

I'd disagree with that. Kid has MFC for the soccer club and fitting was poor. Give MFC their due, they're good at doing the packing and ordering. But think they lack in quality of garment a bit.

I don't think the Renault logo is bad in itself (that's their brand logo) but stuck on a maroon piece of fabric, it's hard to make it nice.
You'd wonder why there has to be a yellow background on it.

http://www.car-brand-names.com/renault-logo/ (http://www.car-brand-names.com/renault-logo/)
''The form which is known to all Renault fans was firstly introduced in 1992. Later logo was updated and several changes have been made in 2004 and 2007. This is when the name of the company appeared on the badge together with square colored yellow making it more dynamic and modern. Every detail has a special meaning and refers to particular qualities of the company and autos it produces. For example, silver color means sophistication and creativity. Yellow background means prosperity ad optimism.''
Fair enough but it really doesn't suit a maroon jersey.

Maybes it's just me but county jerseys seem to be a bit boring. Bar a handful the rest are ruined by poor or lazy designs and stupid sponsor logos. Some club jerseys look well though. The Kilcoo one I have to say is pretty tidy

And most of them just in time for the Christmas market! Or making I'm being too cynical there.
I'm not sure about the CB getting a cut. McKeevers did their own county jerseys but didn't use the county crests, so not sure if they had to pay a cut to the mafia, I mean county board.

as long ad it doesn't infringe any trade mark either the GAA or the counties one its fairgame and no monies due .
that's the reason almost every county has changed their crest in the last few years , before that most were using the same one as the county council there not trade markable . often only a subtle change like may which is more or less a rejigging of the same symbols

Had Laois also. The jerseys were always poor quality.
Whatever about the look of the New Jersey, at €75 they can get lost.
sponsors ruin jerseys is there a way to get jerseys without sponsors
i think the only sponsors that ever look semi ok is sponsors with county name in it it like tyrone fabrication or sporting limerick

At one point Azzurri were the official kit suppliers to Waterford, Laois, Sligo & Donegal before all reverted back to O'Neills. The now defunct Gaelic Gear also at one time had Down, Fermanagh and Wexford.
Did I not hear somewhere recently that Gaelic Gear had now got the licence to manufacture Jerseys again. I know they are flat out at training gear, etc.

Folks,
Have any of ye bought one of the Órga Retro Wear jerseys yet?
There's a new one coming out for us soon, so I just wanted to gauge the sizing of it, before buying.
If you have one, what's the fit like...tight and exact as per their website measurements (which can sometimes be taken with a pinch of salt!), or do they fit bigger in real life?
Any feedback would be appreciated!

Only certain counties available I think.
Although I think another company does them also - O'Neills will now swallow them up I'd say.
The Playrfit retro jerseys are much nicer than those of O'Neills.
With Armagh moving away from O'Neills is this the start of teams starting to look beyond O'Neills who have the monopoly for ever. Just takes a few big guns to move and
O'Neills would crap themselves. On O'Neills defence they gear is top notch
Great to see Armagh going with McKeever sports, an Armagh based company, the new jersey looks well, not sold on the badge yet but i'm sure it will grow on me. Will they be wearing it during the championship?

Nope...they're not. That's why i said it would take a few big guns to change...They'll not blink much with Armagh changing but Dublin would rock them

We've had Azzurri and Masita and a few before. Think Fermanagh had a Gaelic Gear kit a few years back. These companies usually don't stay in the game long sadly.
Donegal actually won an All Ireland when Azzurri manufactures the kits. Unless a new kit manufacturer has serious financial backing it's hard to see them making much inroads.
I'd like to have a few different kit makers about as it's a bit boring with O'Neill's rolling out the same lazy templates for every county.
Are Azzurri still in operation and apart from Armagh is there another county with a company other than O'Neill's manufacturing a kit.

Had Sligo Azzurri also for a year or two a few years back?
Connollys (from Galway I think) early to mid-90s produced kits too. Don't think they supplied any county kits right enough.
For me O'Neills is the best sports gear you can buy. MFC's producing some fine gear too.

I do like the oneills stuff however it can be a bit pricey. A bit of competition in the market does no harm and could bring the prices down a bit

Very pricey indeed. Wouldn't be too keen on the quality for their prices.
Good to see Armagh and Waterford etc. supporting their companies.
I think O'Neills still pump out a lot of jersies from last season and the season before and charge £10 or £12 for them and make a fortune.

£10-12 pound hardly expensive for a jersey even if older design. Tops £7-8 pounds in Asda and no comparison on quality.
Think county stuff is too dear, but club gear seems to be well priced for quality imo.
The new Monaghan jersey is a rare looking job. Sponsor logo very wordy and the diamond pattern around the trunk not that nice.
McKeever's have Adidas behind them for county leisurewear, which might give them a better foothold to compete with O'Neills when compared with previous companies who were granted licences and who O'Neills proceeded to drown in cash and free product.

They will surely, as will the Craigavon O'Neills store. I was in it the other day there and it so strange that all of the Armagh gear isn't towards the front of the shop anymore. Also, I have no idea why this store doesn't stock the local club gear as they would make a complete fortune.

Granted, but if you're buying 3 or 4 of them, it's expensive.
In fairness, they're also a fashion accessory amongst the youth!
Yeah crazy the amount of casual wear O'Neill's kit you see about now. Got very fashionable!! Used to only be the GAA heads wearing it.

McKeever has been doing Derry City fc the last while which is probably the only gig they have remotely close to a county team and while I'm a fan of the new Armagh gear I just hope they have the capacity to meet demand in the run up to Christmas. Prices I think are slightly more favourable than what O'Neill's offer with similar quality. A number of clubs in Armagh are now switching from O'Neill's to McKeever and they are very easy to work with compared to some of the other suppliers.
No one could be more difficult to work with than ONeills.
The are a nightmare to get anything done.
I see Saoradh have sent ONeills a letter about the jerseys for the British armed forces and are awaiting a response :-\

Sligo had a kukri kit. Think Clare hurlers had Connolly in mid 90s when they won 1 of their 2 all irelands. Kerry had adidas for a while.
We had Azzurri for nearly 10 years and Kukri for 2-3. Never thought much of their stuff but Azzurri's could be good or middling. This site shows the changes in kits over the years http://www.prideinthejersey.com/Sligo.html (http://www.prideinthejersey.com/Sligo.html)
Connolly did most of the Connacht counties during the 90's but think they went out of business after that.
Think O'Neill's do good quality stuff and yes it can be pricey, but then you look at what soccer and rugby jerseys are being sold for and it could be worse. From previous experience it seemed that buying stuff in their own stores were much better value than buying them online or in other retailers.

Not surprised by that tbh, from what I've heard recently they try to operate everything on a skeleton staff, taking on the County team has obviously increased volumes and they weren't prepared by the looks of it.

They've some shite on their website and you wonder how they expect to sell any of it. Our club went with mckeevers last year and look to be doing so from now on so I hope they get their house in order because the gear itself is actually quite nice

Has anyone had Playr-Fit or SB Sports gear for their clubs? Club has been looking at some kits for U7/U9 etc. Both seem reasonable but not much cheaper than O'Neills. Both are keen to get stuff in though. Not overly sure on the quality of either. I know a local boxing club got the SB stuff and they seem happy with it. Going to look at MFC and Peninsula Sports too. I'm wary of getting more training like tops instead of jerseys but if we're honest even O'Neills jerseys don't last that long anymore. We've ones from 15 years ago and they're in better shape than some of the new ones.

Would recommend Playr-Fit. Our club got gear off them about 4/5 years ago. Still getting good wear out of it now, no rips, pulls etc. O'Neill's is still king though. At least you know what you get with O'Neills

Both are keen to get stuff in though. Not overly sure on the quality of either. I know a local boxing club got the SB stuff and they seem happy with it. Going to look at MFC and Peninsula Sports too. I'm wary of getting more training like tops instead of jerseys but if we're honest even O'Neills jerseys don't last that long anymore. We've ones from 15 years ago and they're in better shape than some of the new ones.
Our club have been using MFC for 4 or 5 years now, top quality gear and 10 times better service than O'Neill's, can't see us ever changing, much better value too

Our camogie club gear is MFC and it's superior in design and quality to the O'Neills gear that the football club uses.

The Mayo away jersey was designed by a 5 or 6 year old. I don't like it either but you can't criticise the effort.

The wifes running club had Peninsula Sports half zips and coats as samples and they looked dead on quality wise. Not sure they do actual playing jerseys but you can but ask.

New Laois jersey. I like it but the sponsor logo doesn't look great. At least we are back to a traditional white hoop.

That's a nice effort.
Not much you can do about logos.
New Donegal one.
Meh...
Almost the same as the last except for the club names
They've removed the green/gold hoop alternate jersey as well, which I guess means we're getting one of those new-fangled, non-traditional colour schemes for when we have to play Antrim or Roscommon etc.

Dunloy have a beautiful club crest, but the sponsorship logo is almost 7 times bigger. The jersey is lovely and not to tacky but it becomes more about the sponsorship. I understand these sponsors give a lot of money to the club but the regular fan should be able to buy a shirt without all the advertising.
I see Westmeath are going to put more advertising on their sleeves now. It's getting closer to a nascar look very unattractive.

Are folk on here actually buying counterfeit GAA gear from SE Asia? A false economy as the quality will be nowhere near O'Neills, McKeever, MFC etc. Shop local and help maintain local jobs.

What makes you say the quality won't be as good? I haven't used it but there's plenty of companies importing their stuff from Asia i know O'Neill's produce all their stuff in Ireland but I think some of the others get theirs imported. A fella I know has a contact in china and his exact words were 'if I sent you over them 2 of you would come back' said they can pretty much copy anything to near perfection.

Fúck, don't start me on O'Neills quality. Just picked my stuff from the club which I'd ordered via their clubhub crap and when I got home there was a big stain on the front of one of the jumpers. You could see that someone had tried to clean it and made it all ballie..
Tried three times to email their sales rep, clubhub and the likes but no response and got an out of the office from their rep.
Spoke to the girl in the club who looks after this and her heart is broken with them this week as a lot of stuff still hasn't arrived and she too can't get in contact with anyone about this either.
Time to look elsewhere.

I know I am biased as they are owned by two of my own club men but MFC are first class for quality, price and most importantly customer service, they will go above and beyond any other company I have dealt with and our club has been through them all at some stage

Don't know about the GAA jerseys but the soccer jerseys seem grand however you are advised to hand wash and not put them through the machine.
Not so pleased about 2 different jerseys in 2 years (which I'm sure is due to the new sponsor) but this one is very nice!

Has anyone had Playr-Fit or SB Sports gear for their clubs? Club has been looking at some kits for U7/U9 etc. Both seem reasonable but not much cheaper than O'Neills. Both are keen to get stuff in though. Not overly sure on the quality of either. I know a local boxing club got the SB stuff and they seem happy with it. Going to look at MFC and Peninsula Sports too. I'm wary of getting more training like tops instead of jerseys but if we're honest even O'Neills jerseys don't last that long anymore. We've ones from 15 years ago and they're in better shape than some of the new ones.
Our club have been using MFC for 4 or 5 years now, top quality gear and 10 times better service than O'Neill's, can't see us ever changing, much better value too
folks am I correct in saying MFC don't do an official match day jersey for competitive games for boys/men..so basically you shouldn't be wearing it outside of go games, non-competitive fixtures etc... only oneill, mckeever and azzuri can provide match day jerseys?
To be fair it would be a poor job if Dromore didn't support MFC.

Yeah they cant use GAA logo. You have to have license to do the official gaa jerseys.
So Tyrone have made the bold step of releasing a new Jersey that is actually the same as the one 5 years ago...hoping no one notices.

So Tyrone have made the bold step of releasing a new Jersey that is actually the same as the one 5 years ago...hoping no one notices.

3 vertical stripes replaced with 4 (got to update for the all ireland) and a v neck instead of a round collar - very important changes
A bit too much going on with the Kerry Jersey

agree. very disappointing effort which follows up their last poor jersey. Their jersey of 3 years ago remains the iconic one
The new jersey actually looks alright from afar on TV, but can't see many sales outside of Kerry

I asked myself the same question, brutal stuff altogether. A pure passion killer.
O'neills don't pick the design. They provide a selection. The choice lies with the county.

sponsors ruin jerseys in my opinion.
Wexford's senior hurlers and footballers will wear a new commemorative jersey during its home games next month.
The new jersey was launched this week to celebrate the Model County's first ever All-Ireland triumph 130 years ago, honouring that worn by Selskar Young Irelands when they defeated Cork's Dromtariffe in 1893.
The jersey, which can be seen below, was manufactured in collaboration with O'Neills is on sale now in Hores Stores and online from €70.
There is nothing positive you can say good about that.........other than it might put forwards off!

New jersey. Same Pride. Rooted in the history of Mayo. The design details all the historical elements that make up the Mayo crest with a nod to Croagh Patrick, Gráinne Mhaol Ship and the three crosses that stand for the dioceses in Mayo ::)

Should have enough in it to lift even the strongest of curses.
There seems to be a trend of adding new colours to outfits. You can really see it in rugby. England have bits of red in the white jersey and change the socks each season. Wales had green socks yesterday . Scotland have light blue collars. I suppose it must be for marketing purposes and forcing punters to buy new gear each season.

Has to be made in Ireland and GAA approved I think.
Think there is 15 gaa approved sliotars now.
Bourkes, lar corbett, azzuri, molloys, oneills etc.

Mckeever quality-wise can be ropey enough and their turnaround for club orders or orders from the website are crap.

I would agree with their quality issues though it does seem to be well improved. I find both O'Neill's and McKeevers sizing inconsistent. A medium in one garment could be a small or large in another design.

I guess when you are heading up the steps of the Hogan Stand next July, then you aren't too worried on the style in the jersey.

Because on the very few occasions someone has managed to beat us in the last 3 years we've been wearing the white jersey i think, aside from the league final this year.

Just keeping up with modern gaa
The people hating on the jersey will still end up buying it for themselves or their children which allows the company to get away with making such a product. If people want them to not make the same mistakes again then don't buy the jersey.
People hated it the last time they released a Derry jersey without the full hoop in 2012 yet I am sure the jersey sold well. I still saw those old jerseys at recent games in the crowd. Maybe if fans hadn't bought them back then O'Neill's would have known to not make the same mistake.
I personally haven't owned a sports jersey in 15 years but I do worry how bad this jersey will look if Derry manage to win the All Ireland in 2024 or 25. The photo of Glass lifting the cup will be a famous image for decades just like the Henry Downey one has been. That ugly jersey could be a very famous one.
It looks like a Christmas jumper
new leitrim jersey from mc keever looks good
Donegal up too. Almost the same again. I guess green upper and yellow lower is our colours now. Not sure what O'Neills are at with those stripes.

Like both those jerseys tbh. Tyrone one v nice.
Happy enough as well with the Tyrone jersey, but ONeills people could do more. like all the new O'neills jerseys now have this crew neck. Derry Donegal Down & Tyrone
Why not differentiate and mix about more? Derry jersey looked far better with a collar imho.

Think they go on what each county requests. Most tend to stay pretty conservative. Counties get the final say. New knitted collar on these New Jersey's that look good imo.
i couldnt wear a jersey with a sponsor on it unless i am giving one for free and i wear in the house.

Very true.
Just seems a lot of the same with all the jerseys.
Shorts, training tops and leisure gear are all the same. O'Neills have the market and seem to want to keep all the counties' gear the same - easier for them I suppose.
Mc Keever has Armagh obviously, and Leitrim I think. Azzuri has Waterford.
Any other different company's?
I see more competition with clubs' leisure gear, with a lot of different companies involved in that nowadays. O'Neills don't seemed as bothered with that.
Funny in the 6 counties, O'Neills has a load of big stores but in the 26 counties, they seem to sell their stuff through the sport's shop.

Know a person working in the Strabane factory of Oneills, they where saying that the templates are just what Adidas soccer and rugby jerseys have come out with, added with a bit of custom designs/patterns (county colours etc.)

I don't particularly care who or what they copy or plagiarise but charging £55 for a ripped of bigger brand for a garment that must only cost around £10 to put on the shelf is abit shite - but I suppose its the 'Guaranteed Irish' thing that is pushing the price up
Just looked at oneills county tops for christmas presents for the kids. cant get over the prices, they are criminal.
€75 for a hoody to fit the 14 year old. €60 for the 9 year old!
Club gear and Armagh gear used to be sort of extras in our Christmas presents, too dear to be that these days
Best thing to do is go into 'bargain basement' section and get them a few jerseys and zippies etc.
I think O'Neills are still making the older style jerseys this past 6 years. They seem to churn them out in the 'bargain basement' section and make them a clean fortune.
Can get gaa tops in shootjersey.vip for 25 euro. Not sure on quality though colours might be hit and miss. The soccer jerseys are top notch though.
The warehouse clearances they do can be better value for money if the kids are young enough to not realise they aren't the most up to date gear

They're getting more and more each year. Training gear, 'away' jerseys etc.
Kids like them and wear nothing else. O'Neills have done well marketing them but they're expensive.
In saying that also, kids get good tandem out of them.

That'll help keep jobs in the North West
I think the issue is price.
O'Neills are ripping people off is the common preception.
Oneills gear I believe is made in Asia.So they could be doing kits a lot cheaper than they are. The only saving grace they are forn2 seasons not like the soccer 1 season kits.
Kits are all made in Ireland. And all fabric is made in Ireland.
Are they definitely? I know all "playing" kit has to be made in Ireland but I wouldn't be so sure for replica geansai for the normal punter, I'd say that's an Asia job!!

Anything with gaa logo. All jerseys, replicas. They don't make anything in Asia. They have a factory in Europe that makes some leisurewear. But even with that all fabric is made in Ireland and then shipped out.

It is good, although as someone said earlier, the collars could do with a bit of work

A number of these jersey's are getting ruined by the sponsors logo.
And the shoulder lines

Shocking
That's a poorly designed jersey.
Looks like 2 poppys.
Clash of colours also.
How did that pass quality control?
Looks like something you'd make for your pro evo team when you're 14.
Well sponsor firing out the money, least they deserve the name on the Jersey, we could nearly do a run of what team had the worst Jersey, and the year.
Tyrone hunky dory shirt the worse ever who would want to walk around with a big hunky dory plastered on them.

That shirt looks good and the sponsor does not ruin it because it just says kerry is that sponsor referring kerry butter.
I wonder how much sponsors pay for the privilege.
That's a very nice jersey.
Jersey is nice because it has gone back to basics.
Jez, but GAA Jerseys have lost the plot the last couple of years with - terrible incorporation of the Sponsor, Watermarks, Stripes going all directions, writing on the sleeves, Even not having the proper colours of the county.

Pity he's wearing about 3 sizes up and carrying invisible TVs
First, Derry lose the hoop and instead have half a hoop.
Now Clare have lost their hoop altogether.
Who the hell is designing these new jerseys?
Definitely need a bit if hoop :o
Derry ain't great, last year way better, looking at their worst, it's either Ladbrokes or Carhill sales from 91 with jagged arrows or sthing on the sleeves.
Cork recent one was something else the footballers were wearing last week, downright scary. See, the Hurlers are jn red anyway.

In Oneills website that red and black patchwork is listed as training gear.
Trying to find a thread to put this in and figured this might be the best. If anyone has a better suggestion, by all means let me know.
Anyone ever had any real issues with O'Neill's customer service? I've just taken delivery of a significant enough order of club gear for the family. Embroidery, some personalisation etc but the state of it is appalling. There's an absolute mountain of backing material from the embroidery left on it currently and when I first got on to them they told me they wouldn't refund it as the garment itself was fine and suggested I cut the backing material myself, while acknowledging that this should have been done in house. They subsequently suggested that it was merely an "aesthetic issue". The sheer quantity of the material left on it is an irritant.
Pushing them for a refund but they're refusing to budge. They say the garments are not defective and because they're personalised, can't offer a refund. They have offered to do the repair work themselves if I can return it to them. They of course can't organise collection because I'm outside the UK and Ireland, but that they'll reimburse me.
I'm being a moany p***k, but there's absolutely no way they'd let items like this be sold off the rack in store, so I'm not certain why it's any different for an online purchase. It's not one or two items either. It's anything with embroidery in a total order of several hundred euro. Thoughts? Am I being too pushy, or f**k it, considering what I've shelled out should I go all the way with it?

That's a disgrace that they would let that out the door.
Wouldn't go near them. If they arent playing ball fire up a post on social media and shame them.
Would highly recommend playr-fit for future. Proper gear and sound to deal with.
It's not the first time it's happened before either, which I've mentioned to them. Happened on a club order last year.
I reckon they think I'm just being a chancer, trying to have my cake and eat it but the fact it's happened twice now has really pissed me off. I've thrown around words like "consumer rights" and "ombudsman" but they're not for moving.
The below is what they told me:
QuoteThe excess backing paper is usually removed from the garments before we would dispatch your order to you.
We would suggest that due to where you are currently based the best option would be to cut off as much of the excess backing paper without going to close to the stitching.
Thats really really poor worksmanship - there must be no quality checks at all. Ive seen this before with embroidered school kit, but not as prevalaent as that. As you say its an irritant, drives kids mad. Its not good enough, id push on at them. Tell them you are putting the images up on social media as well, might add some weight to your argument
Buying a football kit nowadays is expensive for parents, but special for kids. They need to understand their market - its important they get this right.
Valid enough to raise it with Consumer Ombudsman?
If it was one item I reckon it wouldn't be a problem and they'd probably just refund me and let it go, but it's on 8 items out of 11 to one extent or another - hats, t-shirts, half zips and hoodies. Figure they just don't want/agent authorised to refund me several hundred euro.

Does the backing material not pull off easily enough.?
No, has to be cut.
Carlow always produce a shocker but their newest is the worst yet, better off in bibs, why are they even releasing a Jersey this late in the season?

Their season starts after the Leinster Championship.
All Leinster Counties season starts after the Leinster Championship.
Got a Derry Jersey last year 2xl. Was smaller by a fair bit than the previous sponsor xl jersey (Not player fit either) O'Neills wouldn't take it back as I got No.8 put on it. Week before Ulster final. I said they get rid of it before any normal ones in a flash, still wouldn't take it.
While your on the subject of Derry. Why do they now wear the red jersey with white hoop as their home kit?. Is there a reason for the change?
Didnt tthey traditionally wear white with a red hoop?
I'm not really sure. It's not like Soccer where you have a deisgnated home and designated awway kit.
I remember Sligo used to be White with black shorts and now they're all black. Donegal used to be the same as the Kerry jersey with green and a gold hoop, now they're all gold with green sleeves.
Derry just seem to be more comfortable with the Red jersey with the white hoop.
You'd presume that the more dominant use of Red has to do with Avoiding colour clashes with Tyrone. Tipp and Clare have similar issues.
Anybody know why maroon is such a popular colour at club and county level?
Loads of them about but it's not really a popular colour generally.

Two counties with Maroon jerseys, Galway and Westmeath, far more red, red and white, let alone green jerseys out there.

But it's not a popular colour in terms of clothing. Yet two counties have it.
Plus loads of club teams have it.
I was wondering the significance of it.
