Not bad at all.
TYP can recall the Polo Grounds game.
Bought the Dublin '76 jersey couple of weeks ago. Paid £35 quid , I think it was, and I am delighted with it. No regrets. If you fancy one of the jerseys , then go for it. Delivery is quick as well with recorded delivery.

Jaysus, Gaffer, and you the boy giving the poor Jackeens all that abuse on another thread :P
He probably did the same as me - bought it to put his doormat into.
I loved the 70's Dubs jersey and I have no probs having it. Its just that present day Dub doing all the slabbering about his present rubbish team that I am opposing.
I got the sligo 75 jersy for myself and my Dad. Am delighted with them, very good material aswell. You can even suggest a jersey aswell if they dont have it. Great service aswell.
20% of all jerseys at the moment.
just availed of it
Jerseys are great quality, the owner has put a lot of effort into research
the yella rectangles (though they should be squares) have worn away from the centre of my Meath '88 jersey, though I suppose it makes it look more authentic.
I got the '77 Armagh jersey from them and am well pleased with it
Bought the brother a 1947 Cavan replica, he loved it. Was excellent quality.
I know these lads personally and in fairness they are producing top class gear...
I asked the feckers to do a 1956 Tyrone geansai. All you needed was a big feckin badly-drawn hand on one side.

Not interested in less than 500 units. I wanted to do jerseys for the surviving members of the 1905 Peadar O'Neill Crowley's championship winning team, but the retro boys wanted me to commit to 500. Didn't deal.

Yip, there weren't enough for it to viable for retrogaa (to make the jerseys). I can't remember exactly how many survivors there were, but it was certainly less than the necessary 500.
lads anyone with a jersey can they tell me if they are big fitting?
Just took delivery of one today ale (Tyrone '86), and the medium is not particularly big fitting - a smaller fit than the GAA jerseys proper. Other than that it seems to be a top-class product.
I bought one of the Mayo 1950 ALL-IRELAND CHAMPIONS jersies, well impressed with it. Can be worn as a jersey or a light jumper. GREAT :)
i bought one. well pleased with it.
size wise, the retros are a size up from teh oneills. an oneills medium would be equivilent to a retro large.
Latest product.
The retro hoodie.

Can be personalised (or clubilised if such a word existed) to any club on production of a valid jpeg. No minimum orders required.
Saw one on Saturday. Looks the part and, if previous testimonials are to be believed, will walk the walk.
Wan of Thon Jedward cubs have an 83 Dublin one that they wore during thon show (seriously) Made me like da wee pukes oddly enough, I mean fair play to him for wearing it.

Dont mean to turn a positive thread into a negative one, but who the hell authoruzed the co. board to change the Mayo crest a few years ago. the new crest looks like something that won first prize in a national school art contest. For a county with such great tradition and passion for the game I was dunbfounded when I heard about it!!! (PS Its Thanksgiving and I have had a few)

Lots of county Crests were changed around the same time. Basically the county boards have the sole rights to the new crest design for printing on merchandise, any tom dick or harry could have slapped it on a flag before and made a few quid.....Changed for money reasons basically.
Heard these guys are running a competition on Today FM on the Breakfast show, think its every morning this week. Definately worth an entry...€300 worth of Prizes

My grandfather, John Hughes, was a full-back for the Peadar O'Neill Crowley's from 1902 to 1907. His obituary said that he was "the greatest Antrim full-back in hurling or football of his generation." Do you know where can I get more information and maybe photos of the team? Thank you for any help you can give.
I just did a quick google there and this link got thrown up

Tony Fearon has them all and well broken in. Not sure if he will part with them.
Seems to be no Monaghan retro section, I suppose it's their lack of a GAA heritage and tradition.
Unlike some places, Monaghan's best days are ahead.
Know someone who took stock of a lot of these retro jerseys (must be bankrupt stock).
derry (93), antrim (87), tyrone(86), Kilkenny and Kerry (81) seem to make up the majority of them. Though several counties there
Pm if any1 interested in them. hes selling them off at 10e each
got a good few messages on the retro jerseys by pm.
i only took 2 photos of some of the jerseys but dont know how to upload a photo here (tyrone and derry).
whatsapp me on 087 1408562 and i can send on the photos.
Definitely no down, meath, armagh, monaghan or mayo jerseys as i was looking for some of them. dublin but only in small or xxl (think they were '83 and '87)
some clare ('77??) there too i think.
he had the ireland australia compromise rules jersey ('84) which was really goood, but only in xxl
will be with him on monday, so can get some then if needed.
