FFS this is laughable. Who in the right mind would buy that. It looks ridiculous!
Is it £21.99 or £21.99 plus £12.50?
Do they have permission to use the Down GAA crest?
Ffs will you stop starting threads?!

Mod3 posted a thread warning him after deleting his posts I believe.
He should be shown the road. He's be warned before! He's doing more damage to Canterbury than good.
I'll buy a lock of them
It looks ok but more like a referees polo shirt rather than a Down one. By the way the Down crest is not the copy- right of the county Board. It's the traditional crest of County Down and can be used by anyone.

The old crest could be used any anyone, I am pretty sure the new crest belongs to Down GAA.
I'll try and check to see if the GAA within Down receive any royalties from O'Neills products sold.
I know O'Neills do a Down polo that looks the part (I'm sure many on here are aware of it too).

The O'Neills polo shirts are very nice. I have been buying them for years now, good designs, good quality.

Correct, the new crest is a patent of the County board
Therefore what has he got except a lot of knock off gear bought from a company that went bust that he is trying to offload on the GAA sector with neither permission or right to do so.
You can talk about monopolies all you want but the other companies that had a go against O'Neills did so in the correct manner and had to buy the rights of the GAA to do so.
