I heard that the fee Tayto Park were paying Meath this time around was greatly reduced on before. Perhaps the county board were looking for someone else to take a place on the rear of the jersey or another sponsor who would pay more?

Still a bit of a joke though if indeed there is a new jersey coming out. I thought this current county board was supposed to be better than the last shower

Could be alright, from what I heard the Tayto Park sponsorship is in the region of 50k, laughable that really if it's true, maybe there's a second sponsor on the back now?

I don't think the county board had the new sponsorship deals finalised in time for Christmas.

Makes you think really, there is county board men on a fortune. Surely one should be dedicated to negotiate sponsorships throughout the year? Its almost like a man searching frantically at 5.55pm for a gift on Christmas eve for the wife

That Sligo shirt is daycent. Really liked their last one as well.

I beg to differ, I think that kit looks cheap and shabby. Might be just me but it just looks cheap... Who makes it?

Kukri are the manufacturers. Took over from AZZURRI at the start of last year.

Don't have a picture but I saw a picture recently of the new Waterford kit. Seems the new "honeycomb" feature has been done away with. Strange that was released with it but in the games they've worn the new kit there has definitely been no honeycomb feature.

They switched between the old and new kit in the Munster league games. The jersey for sale on the Azzuri website still has the honeycomb pattern, but very hard to see in any of the pictures. Could be a case of it just being very hard to see in proper daylight.

1916 jersey I kid you not

Well, technically it's not a GAA jersey, in that it's not for use by any team in any game, nor does it have any GAA logos or crests. Though the market for the 2 will be one and the same really.

Supposedly the new Meath kit

thesultan

The Meath one is very nice

henke

New Louth jersey. Interestingly O'Neills have given them a v-neck shaped collar rather than the standard round one on all other recent County jerseys.

denishurley

The honeycomb pattern is still there on the Waterford jersey, just very faint

peejay1986

Is there a new London jersey to be released any time soon? The O'Neills website still shows the same as last year.

newg300

The Azzurri logo has moved on the Waterford jersey too. On their site, it is on the shoulder but in that picture it is on the more usual front of chest.

newg300

Personally I think the white piping looks a bit silly when it is sublimated.

Hibbeler

The white lines on the side of that Offaly jersey make it look a little like a vest imo

sportzstar

The new Donegal one doesn't look as bad in reality as it does online.

This will more than likely be a stupid question but I'm a novice when it come to GAA culture so bear with me, please.

My girlfriend is English and was born in London. She's lived over here for 4 years now and loves watching the football, so I was going to buy her a London GAA jersey for her birthday. I'm wondering though - what are people's opinions to the London side? Would she get any form of negative reaction for wearing one around the place?

I've no doubt I'm showing my ignorance but I genuinely don't know. Only concerned as she's very conscious of wearing her England jersey outside/gym as a few dickheads said some things on the occasions she's worn that.

I've asked a GAA-mad friend (who happens to now live in London!) and he said it wouldn't be a problem but just thought I'd ask on here too.

Also, which is London's home jersey - green or white?

Thanks in advance.

London's home jersey is green, and as for the rest of the post, I reckon there is absolutely nothing to worry about! Dickheads passing comment outside and at the gym are exactly that; dickheads.

I'd be amazed if there was any negative reaction, most people don't pay a blind bit of difference to county jerseys aside from maybe the odd bit of (good humoured) ribbing. Go for it!

Like the lad above said, I'd be amazed if she got any negative reaction. Not that these things matter in the eyes of anyone with 2 brain cells, but if anything a London jersey would nearly count as more "Irish" than an Irish county jersey. "Níos Gaelaí ná na Gaeil féin".

peejay1986

Thanks, both of you. Personally, I wouldn't give a **** what people would say but seeing as it's her wearing it, I wanted to check as much as I could.

Now to scrap up some money to buy one!

She'll get absolutely no hassle in any sort of GAA jersey. It's a shame that she gets it wearing her England one.

Anyway, the green one is the home jersey (Though i think the sponsorship might have changed in the past year) It's actually a damn nice jersey too

newg300

I'd say the only gob****es who give her hassle for an English jersey, are probably the same kind of "republican" heroes that wouldn't even cop that it was a London gaelic jersey.

Personally, it's a great thing to see an English born person taking an interest, and a great idea to give her a London one rather than an adopted Irish county. Let us know how you get on please.

The same g*b****es would proudly wear Chelsea, Man United and Liverpool jerseys!!



Nice shirt and a Nice idea for a present

Down Away Jersey. I like it.

There's no need for that piping around the 3-stripes on the shoulders. Would have been tidy otherwise.

Rumours of Dublin going elsewhere.

I don't know how that will work as only certain brands can use the GAA logo and Oneills would have rights over the Dublin crest.

The GAA logo yes, but Dublin County board have the rights to the Dublin crest. Every county board redesigned their crests in the last 15 years in order to ensure they have full copyright over it.

If Dublin manage to pull this off it would set a precedent and you would see other big counties negotiating with the likes of adidas etc. I know O'Neills have a monopoly on county jerseys but I'd imagine if these big players came into the market it would be very damaging to them.

ProudDUB

Don't some counties have Azzuri do their gear? O'Neill's haven't had a complete monopoly for a while now.

They have 30 plus London and New York I believe. Azzurri only have Waterford now they lost Donegal and Laois back to O'Neills and they lost Sligo to Kukri so O'Neills have by far the lions share.

When that happened I thought this was in conjunction with O'Neills. They wanted to be able to have a trademarkmable crest so worked with County boards on moving away from the county/county council crests. O'neills have the monopoly so you would think they have their bases covered. I think o'neills have upped their game in recent years but I'd love to see some new manufacturers getting involved. No one biggest than Dublin to set the ball rolling.

Neon_Lights

I just read the Dublin jersey article there, now if Adidas set up a small operation in Ireland wouldn't it be within the rules? I seen the Kerry Adidas training tops alright, but imagine how a jersey would look

Or the likes of Azzurri could try to steal a march by becoming a licensee for Adidas etc here. Adidas get all their branding, without having to set up an physical operation.

Oasis_Dublin

One of the Dublin fans pages is reporting that O'Neills will continue to make Dublin GAA jerseys. No confirmation, that I can find, elsewhere.

DiscoStew

How is it that the likes of KC Sport and Masita haven't gotten hold of a county team yet? Both seem to have decent kits from what I have seen. I would imagine they are cheaper than O'Neills? Surprised that Azzurri have only Waterford too given they have produced some nice kits lately, particularly the last 2 and must be considerably cheaper than O'Neills?

There was a company down leeside, Three Stripe International that used to do this. Good thinking although im not sure that Azzurri would give up so much of their identity in order to make what is really a competitor alongside their own brand. Also I would think Adidas keep their stuff in house these days. The sporting goods business has become far more lucrative since the early 90s, year on year.

I remember Azzurri Donegal kits costing €60 back in 2012 and they were inferior to the O'Neills one also.

Azzurri's kits have come on a lot in recent years. The price charged there seems excessive alright but there could be any amount of additional charge added on by a shop or county board.
Masita seem to have a good foothold with schools kits.

Masita were sponsoring the schools championships some time back afaik. Maybe they still are

denishurley

Masita don't have an intercounty licence, which costs more on top of a normal licence.
