this is a pet peeve of mine, there's no logical reason why things like this can be avoided. it's the inconsistency more than anything that's annoying, Mayo wore red in the 04 AIF, but the following year when both Kerry and Mayo had the same jerseys as 04, neither changed. Then you had Meath and Donegal wearing provincial colours in 02 when they met, even though far closer colour clashes have been allowed.
