Always liked the Armagh away on the rare occasion they wear it. Down away for some reason I like also.

UCC has to be the most iconic kit in the country.

The Tipp hurling jersey is sponsored by Enfer which means "hell" in French (no mention of "kitchen")
And it seems to go well with playing the cats in finals.

Bad:

One of Kerry's most successful jerseys was also their worst ever. A really horrible effort here.




Dublin had the look of losers in this abomination. 17 point losers, to be precise.




Another shocker of a design from Dublin. The white collar just doesn't work.




A blobby eyesore from Tipperary which has rightly been replaced after just one year.




Donegal making the opposition dizzy due to the whirlpool effect on their jerseys was a key factor in their rise to glory.




Armagh's 2002 jersey was by no means a classic. Hard to make orange look attractive in any event but this certainly didn't.




Really nasty combination of different shades of green here on Limerick's 208-2010 jersey.

Tipp haven't been sponsored by Enfer with years. Skoda have just finished up and its now Elverys / Intersport. I think the new one is manky.

The 1978 Mayo jersey was much nicer than the "motheren' stuff
which has to change every year for commercial purposes

I think most of the new ones are manky, actually
the need to continually change them is a problem
Same for rugby jerseys.

Can't find a pic of it online, but the blue Kerry jersey in 1998/99 was the nicest I've ever seen. It was similar to this one-off jersey from the 2011 semi final, except it had all white trim.


I also like some of the Down jerseys..the current effort is good, apart from the sponsors logo being too big IMO.


I'd agree with a previous poster on the UCC jersey also, really nice..and this away jersey from a few years ago was mint.


In terms of worst, couple of pics below would be amongst the worst. First is of Whitechurch, a junior club on Cork. Second is a Wexford effort from a few years back..atrocious.

I preferred when Mayo had the red hoop the whole way round. Like the 96+99 variety.

In the 1981 final I think Offaly had the stripes down the side, similar to an old Coventry City kit at the time. The 1982 Final was where the green and gold went across the shoulder and chest. I thought that was lovely. In 1981 Kerry had that shiny abomination alright, but I think in 1982 they had a plain green with gold collar and cuffs.

That Offaly jersey from 1982 is still my favourite jersey, although they have had some other nice white jerseys in the meantime in fairness. The current one isn't bad at all.

I, along with a lot of others, love the 1981 Kerry Jersey...been trying to get my hands on one for years. They were adidas jerseys, just covered them with patches for the final. The 1982 final Kerry jerseys were rank IMO.

The 1982 Offaly jersey wasn't bad for its time in fairness

Roscommons jersey is beautiful. It is also the only county with the map of roscommon with relevant clubs imprinted on back. One word. Class

Dromcollogher-Broadford?  Black and amber vertical stripes, with a horizontal red hoop across the middle and with red collars and cuffs.

I was sent an email of a terrible looking jersey a few years ago. IIRC, 2 clubs merged in Limerick, one with horizontal stripes, one with vertical and neither backed down when it came to who's stripes would be on the new jersey so both were accommodated and no I don't mean a checked pattern either.



Skullers Bar - excellent!
