County Jerseys

EIRE1922

With the screen printed jersies you are better to always go to the next size up, as they have been made in tighter and smaller fitting in recent years.

Tipperary originally wore white jersies with a green band. That green Kilkenny one is not bad. There are two pink versions too for the girls. Ha..ha!

I think we may have wore white with the green band in 1920 because Grangemockler-Ballyneale were the county senior football champions and the rule at the time was to wear the jerseys of the county champions. I could be wrong. Not sure when the Blue and Gold was introduced.

Tipp had new shorts and socks yesterday. The shorts matched the shirt and the socks were similar style to Dublin's style i reckon

The yellow should be on the lower half of the jersey! That is why Wexford are known as the Yellow-Bellies! The previous design was correct. Not a bad jersey otherwise.

Probably true but you'd go back a long time as from the Rackard brothers era to 2003, Wexford always wore gold shoulders and a purple bottom half.

As far as I know they switched to blue and gold after the Bloody Sunday massacre in Croke Park. The original colours had become synonyms with the tragedy.

They had to reintroduce the embroidered county crest to the shirts because people were complaining that there were been ripped off with poor quality screen-line printed shirts. The jersies only cost between €2.00-€5.00 to make each and are then sold for €60.00-€65.00 in the sports shops. What a rip-off! The jersies only retail for £40.00/€49.00 up North. So, why do we have to constantly pay more down here for the same county jersies?

Another thing is, O'Neill's need to stop messing around with the original county colours & design on jersies. Who gave them the right to leave of the band off the new Mayo jersey? And in recent years the bands have been removed from the back of both the Tipperary, Clare & Kerry jersies! O'Neill's even wanted to get rid of the traditional Black & Amber stripes on the Kilkenny jersey there about 7 years ago and their excuse was that it was costing them more to produce the stripes on the jersies.

O'Neills need to get their act together, fast!

Actually, O' Neills need permission from the county board for the approval of a new design of jersey but I do agree with you about the prices of the jerseys, its ridiculously expensive for nothing more than a t-shirt really.

Well yes, that is true. They need permission from each county board for approval and for the rights to use each of the new redesigned and licensed G.A.A. County Coat Of Arms/Crests.

At least the new Kerry jersey has the band right around the shirt. They way it should be too.

The change of crest on the Kerry jersey was disgraceful in my opinion and the same with the Kilkenny jersey a couple of years back

I agree there. The Kerry one is wowful. The Kilkenny one is not too bad. Better than the previous County Coat Of Arms.

From what I remember the crests were changed so that oneills/azzurri could trademark them. The majority of crests previously used were the coat of arms for the county councils and oneills needed permission to use them.

The crests are trademarked by the county boards not the manufacturers - it means they can stop people producing fake kits and other memoribilia (posters,calendars etc) and passing them off as being fundraising for the players funds etc.

Having a tm'ed crest is 100% necessary these days, its actually surprising it took some teams so long to introduce them

Yes, that is the main reason they have supposedly done it with new redesigned G.A.A. crests being trademarked by each county board. But, in truth how much of that money actually goes back into grassroots G.A.A. at club level? Clubs are nearly always still having to fundraise for new grounds or new facilities, for playing gear/kit etc. and even some inter-county teams are still having to fundraise for their team holidays.

The G.A.A. and each county board are meant to be amateur organisations, yet they are going down more and more corporate and business avenues. The next thing they will be calling themselves 'franchises' like in American Football!

The original County Coats of Arms were sufficient! Each original Coat of Arms should belong to the people of that county and should be used on all jersies. They do not belong to each County Board or to the G.A.A.! The crests have been long declared to belong in the public domain. This why the county boards did not have the copyright to them.

What gives any county board the right, without at least first asking or consulting with the people of the county before they go change and trademark a county crest!? G.A.A teams are not like premiership clubs. They are made up of players from clubs of each of the 32 counties. That is the difference.

I cannot see how each county board can have the right to use the name of each county as Gaeilge/in Irish on each of the trademarked crests! Those county names still and will always remain in the public domain.

Whoa..

Co Boards are elected representatives by everyone to RUN THE COUNTY'S GAA. That's what gives them the right. Your post is so silly it's borderline trolling? I don't even know.

No, you are missing the point. I suggest you read correctly what I wrote.

EIRE1922

After Tipperary's woeful performance and 18 point hammering to Kilkenny last Sunday, their main jersey sponsor 'Skoda' have announced they are nolonger willing to sponsor the Tipperary Senior Hurling Team after seeing such filth in Croke Park!

However, the Tipperary County Board have immediately stepped in and announced that they have found a replacement car manufacturer to sponsor the Tipperary Senior Hurling team, which will take immediate effect! The new sponsor will be in place for all of next years's Senior Inter-county League and Championship matches!

EIRE1922. All your ideas would be good if it were 1922, but county boards need to raise money to run teams & championships within counties. Man are struggling to keep their heads above boards as it is.

In 2010 it cost €1m to train and prepare all Tippreary hurling and football teams combined. Not sure if it was from minors up or younger age groups up to senior but its still alot of money.

In 2011 it increased by €200k and this year it will probably increase another bit given our involvement in 6 grades up to early August. 2 weeks ago the county board held a 'Telethon' to raise extra funding and the minor footballers had a sponsored cycle from nenagh to clonmel.

Fact is in order to survive then one way of generating huge revenue is for the county board to capitalise on its popularity. Granted the big one in Tipp is senior hurling and that ended in disastrous fashion this year but without the money being spent on teams preparation we'd be in a far worse place if there is such a thing at this point in time .

Now county boards personnel will always have skeptics as to some of their motives and the way they are organised themselves and im no different in that respect but i totally understand why Tipperary GAA or Kilkenny GAA or Dublin GAA or any other county has to stand out as an individual brand. Supply on demand basically.

The old Tipperary crest for example is based on the old North Tipperary coat of arms and that coat of arms itself uses features from the Butler family crest so it would be impossible to copyright. The words Tiobraid Árann isnt copyrighted but the typeface it is presented in probably is.

Nice jersey but your post onwards should be put into a brand new 2013 thread which i hope the mods will diverge this thread from your post onwards.

Cork to leave o2.

Presumably Galway hurling had to change their crest when they moved from O Neills to Gaelic Gear back in 2005.
Any one know why it wasn't changed back when O Neills got the hurlers back?

Squidgy Black

That's the football crest now. There's two seperate county boards for Galway GAA.

A bit of a joke changing the Armagh jersey again. Not bad though.

Any word on a new Dublin jersey? We've had the same one since 2010 and to be honest I'm not a fan of it.

Dublin will undoubtedly change i think. The 3 year cycle was to make up for the last Arnotts jersey that only last 1 year. (Which was a lovely shirt i might add)

I love the current shirt too. Its an absolute cracker. Would have been nicer with sky blue stripes on the collar ala the same template as Armagh or Tyrone though

I've sympathy for people who bought the new jersey which is now out of date - I was relatively lucky - was going to old off until Christmas - my daughter did get the pink version though which is now out of date.

Had thought in the circumstances they might offer the new one at a reduced price (didn't Man Utd do that after they ditched the 'grey kit'?) but have since caught myself on!! :rolleyes:

EIRE1922

The current Dublin jersey is nice expect for the sponsor. The red Vodafone logo just looks out of place on the jersey.

Vodafone are giving Dublin GAA millions to have their logo on the jersey. What are they seriously going to do? I wish people would realise how ridiculous they sound. It's just a sponsor and a jersey. By far the most lucrative sponsor in GAA history too

Really wish Donegal would go back to O'Neills. Azzurri jerseys really are inferior quality. Got the new one at the start of the Championship and only wore it to the games. Washed a handful of times. Threads coming out and a kind of worn look about it. Others have had the same complaints. It is a joke really at €60.

Also, while I think Azzurri have slowly improved the styling of their jerseys there still a long way short of O'Neills. They need to ditch the horrific font they use for numbering and the numbering on Donegal jerseys should be green instead of black as it was back in the O'Neill days.

Couldn't agree more. Its a win-win situation. Without such a lucrative deal such a training and preparation infrastructure couldnt be put in place or at least it would be a struggle. Dublin are in a fortunate position being as marketable as they are.

You'd be better off thanking god almighty to have a sponsor of Vodafones decency. Change their logo, aye, they'll do that for Dublin GAA.

Aye, the players have also gotten a lot of phones and nice phone deals out of it. Only a fool would be dissatisfied with that. But there you go.
