O'Neills are taking the piss a bit with the €22 difference between 2 stripe and 3 stripe.

Only for the sponsor I think it be a fab jersey

I imagine there's VAT etc, not just the cost of an extra stripe...

True it ruins the Jersey.

At least they didn't go for the blue box with the sponsor

Don’t like the jersey because of the sponsor logo. But they probably couldn’t do much more with it, it’s just not a nice logo in general. Removing the blue was a good step

As far as I'm aware, the 3 striped versions of all O'Neills gear can only be sold in Ireland. 2 striped versions are for all other countries.
Big difference in price for a stripe though

Adidas tried to sue O’Neills years ago and lost. As a result O’Neills kept a right to use three stripes on gear sold in Republic of Ireland
If you watch you’ll notice often that gear for say example Tyrone or Armagh will only have 2 stripes as they’re classed UK

I don’t think that’s quite true regarding the counties in the North, they too use 3 stripes. But if you look at club jerseys from San Fran or Oz you’ll most likely see 2 stripes.

You’re probably right, definitely I’m wrong on the jersey. Googled Tyrone one there. I had something in my head about the Northern counties with O’Neills gear. Maybe it’s all gear outside of jerseys? Like polo shirts , tracksuit, jackets, etc. Again I could be imagining it too

SD have confirmed on their instagram that it does have 3 stripes.

I reckon they have both versions for sale like O'neills depending on which site you go on and they used the wrong images.

Well that Sports Direct logo is awful but we expected that. The Jersey itself isn't great either..it looks a size too small on everyone and just a bad design

zetecescort

any idea how much (if anything) county boards get from the sale of jerseys, hats, tracksuits etc from O'Neills.

looking at Horgan's interview on the news the logo looks awful on the leisure gear too.

It wasn't 48 euros, it was 48 sterling which is around 60 euros.

I assume many of these people will start knitting their own clothes and walking around barefoot from now on - I hope they don't take a look at any of the labels on what they are currently wearing to see where it might come from!

Kind of surprised to hear a forward being against the black card. They are rare overall (some teams more cynical than others) and the GAA has over-innovated with the rules in football but some of the tackles in hurling to prevent goals are as blatant as it gets.

I'd rather he said that even if he believes the opposite, or not. The last thing we need is giving ammo to other counties who would no doubt accuse us of wanting easy scores / getting lads booked. We already have the reputation of being both soft and lacking bottle, we need to lose that pronto.

Very true.
And a lot of those giving the abuse about losing identity with English soccer pics and references in their bios!
