Are portarlington still that Maroon/Green combination? That'd be rare enough too I'd say..

They are indeed. A maroon jersey with a green sash and white shorts.
On the tricolour jersey front, Crettyard wear a green, white and gold jersey and various designs using those colours have been used over the years.

This is some gas thread!

The maddest jerseys in Kerry football would probably be Duagh I think..a maroon and yellow combination. Not pleasing on the eye, IMO.

Brosna, current AI Junior club champs play in a very distinctive tangerine jersey aswell..I actually like it but some people wouldn't be gone on it.

There are lots of weird hooped combinations in Cork alright..you'd wonder where they came from..but one of the most obvious ones to mention to me, would be Nemo Rangers, who's distinctive Black with Green hoops is a fairly rare combination.

Apparently Cavan's colours are blue and white because back in 1895 they were scheduled to play a challenge match against Monaghan in Clones. However, they were too tight to bring jerseys of their own so Monaghan lent them their away jerseys which were predominantly blue with white trim. Cavan never gave the jerseys back hence their adoption of these colours.

That was 1985 I think, not 1895.

The sash on jerseys is a throwback to when the missionaries were organising games in South America or so I was told. A lot of South American soccer teams have them as well.

does any gaa club in Ireland wear brown jerseys or even a combination involving brown?

I think there's a crowd in Cork that do. They wear it with a combination of colours. I think there might be a crowd in Limerick too.

Ahead of his time... a 'Tight Fit' jersey before they were even made!!

Is it odd that only one club in Armagh adopted the county team colours? Or would that be common enough?
