    take note dublin county board, this is how it should be done...

    How what should be done specifically? Killing a couple of obese squirrels and turning them into a coat? :p


    I do like how low down that logo is. I don't like how the AIG is up so far on the chest on the Dubs jersey. I wonder if its something to do with getting the logo more face time on camera. When telly shots go in for close ups on players, they usually shoot from mid chest up. If the logo or company name is down lower over the tummy, it will get cut out of a lot of those shots.

    Nice jersey in my opinion, like the new shade of blue.

    When is the jersey due to go on general sale. Only way to judge it is to see it up close

    I like the simple design, but the sponsor is a bit big.

    The 2011 Vodafone design with a Small AIG logo would have been the best outcome but they have gone for a different blue.

    Unfortunately the first thing I thought of when I saw it was the All Blacks Training Jersey:

    Uncanny, but the AIG logo is much smaller and neater on the AB's jersey.

    Still, I like it more then the Honeycomb effect this year.

    I'm not usually the type to side with the 'oh look at Dublins money advantage and how Carlow/Leitrim get a pittance in comparison, we may as well all give up' side.

    But.....to the people slating other counties' launches and presentations of jersies and saying they should replicate the Dublin way of selling it, i'd say Dublin's fancy photoshoots/launches/ads for this new jersey costs more than the poorer counties would actually get for their entire sponsorship deal.

    What was so fancy about it? They hired a function room in a hotel for a press conference. A few hours before, they had a photo shoot with four of the players & a few press photographers in a park behind the hotel.

    What's so fancy or expensive about that, that other counties couldn't do it too? It's not like they flew a truck load of journalists to Las Vegas on a private jet & plied them champagne, caviar & hookers all day long.

    That's nicer. Thing is all the counties copy each other anyway, or maybe it's just two women who design them all, but if something works loads of counties will have a flavour of it.
    I thought Kerry and Kildare did a bit with their kit over the past few years, their stuff looks very good.

    Remember the arrows on the shoulders from the early 1990, a couple of counties had them then nearly half the country had them the next year.
