David Clifford to surpass the Gooch?

Yeah they should just go with the symbol, looks odd. Could probably be stylised, work in progress.

Good luck to him. Days of top players getting pat on back long gone.

Quote from: thewobbler on November 19, 2025, 10:44:02 PMThe 'Clifford' name is just a little bit OTT for my liking. They should have more confidence that the brand mark will seep into Irish consciousness without plastering his name in forty foot high words alongside.

Agree with this - and the decision to go with Kerry colours. You'd think they would have been working hard to present this as suitable for anyone to buy. I can see a lot of people being put off due to the fact they will be wearing a brand of a rival player / team.
The logo only (and maybe more neutral colur schemes to start out) removes that

edit to say - I wish him well and hope this venture is successful for him. I just think the campaign is poorly thought out

No harm to him, but Clifford ain't quite the level of superstar Jordan was and it took decades for "Air Jordan" to become Jordan Brand and then have the confidence to start using only the logo. Think they have it right, even if it's a bit ugly looking.

Does the brother get a share.

The overhyping of Clifford has hit a new level.
Don't blame the lad himself for any of this, he seems a grounded enough fella which is incredible considering how everyone behaves around him.

I wonder what the takeup will be like outside Kerry.
Can see a lot of GAA parents not being too wild to purchase this.
I could see it being a veritable uniform around the place inside Kerry.
Some young folk seem to have a different approach - one of the nephews has gone through a litany of GAA jersies from all over the place over the years which just seems odd to me.

I did get an ad a while back with their club have put out special edition Clifford jerseries with the two brothers on them.
