The official new GAA kits thread

[cavanmaniac]

The Offaly and Down ones are the best I've seen so far. Simple clean lines and no bullshit designs are the way to go.

Oh and don't suddenly introduce a new colour on to a county's shirt, i.e. navy on the Cavan jersey. Heresy!

It seems to have a very generous cut. Is Nudie coming back to the panel?

That's for the nephew.

Apparently the new Meath jersey is going to be the same style as the International rules jersey,

with the white replaced with the light green of the current jersey and the grey lines with gold. I think the sleeves will stay the same with darker green and gold

Sounds lovely

The sponsors for the Wexford kit have quit, so it probably means there'll be a new kit design for us. I hope the new sponsor isn't something crazy; it was cool to just have the county's name on the front of the jersey, like how Kerry have the Kerry Group.

Curvy Blue Lines  by Patrick Kavanagh


O curvy blue lines of Monaghan
The laugh of the crowd you drew
You took the gay side of the county
expressing it, busy and blue

Old jersies  look a vision
of beauty love and truth
when compared to the swirly lines of Monaghan,
made cheap on swinish cloth


Mullahinsha, Drummeril, Black Shanco--
Wherever I turn I see
the replica shirts of Monaghan
snug fitting o'er beer bellies

Got the Monaghan jersey today. Looks better than on the initial photos, but still not fussed on the blue lines across the front. A size 13-14 is plenty big enough - the sleeves are still too big. Do O'Neill's never listen to their customers?

This might be slightly off-topic, but it occurred to me after reading through this thread.. Anyway, does anybody know if thegaastore.com is affiliated with the GAA, or is it an individual company? I assumed it was a branch of the GAA to cater for Irish people living in Britain, as there are links to it on gaa.ie, and they're offering 15% off for people who have season tickets when ordering through the website, but I read somewhere recently (no idea where) that it was a different company based in Britain (hence why they charge for things in pounds, rather than euros). It's also stuck in my mind somewhere that it might be part of the Elverys chain of stores. Does anybody know?

thegaastore.com is based in Portadown. As far as i know, it's an independent company, although it may well have entered into a commercial deal with the GAA for the discount you mention.

Ye should paint the whole thing in blue - sure you have always aspired to be like Cavan, now is your chance

Yes, i'd love to be playing in Division 3 next week.

"The GAA Store is a retailer of official GAA product and merchandise, but not directly affiliated with or associated to the Gaelic Athletic Association in any way."

I think the guy that owns it is actually releasing his own brand soon, called McKeever's.

The very one!
Aslong as they don't go into doing replica county jerseys, I think they'll struggle there. Also their balls would need to be up to scratch, Gaelic Gear Azzuri etc tend to make shite quality balls compared to O'Neills
