Fair play to you for buying it already
those jerseys look like rugby jerseys…fookin rank…thank god for the classy Dubs and their stylish gear…
That Down jersey is terrible.
Nice idea here from the Galwegians:
<u>Incentive for fans to swap old jersey for new</u>
JOHN FALLON
Galway are to introduce a novel “scrappage scheme” for GAA jerseys in a bid to help supporters purchase a newly designed shirt. Supermac’s have taken over the sponsorship of the Tribesmen footballers this year in addition to their backing for the Galway hurlers for the past 22 years.
The Cancer Care West logo has been on the front of the Galway football shirt for the past two years and now a newly designed jersey has been unveiled with Supermac’s on the front of the gear worn by the hurlers and footballers.
It also features a new crest and now county board officers have come up with a scheme which will allow fans “trade-in” their old jerseys.
Supporters will be able to avail of a €15-20 discount on the new jersey by handing in their existing garments, and all of the old jerseys will be donated to the charity run by former Galway hurler and footballer Alan Kerins, to be distributed to children in Zambia. The “scrappage scheme” will be in operation on March 24th at Pearse Stadium when Galway take on Wexford in football and Cork in hurling in a league double-header.
Galway CEO John Hynes said the scheme was designed to allow fans to purchase the new jersey. “We are all conscious of the fact that money is scarce and we want to help fans. This will be the first time we have one jersey, one sponsor and one crest on all Galway jerseys . . . Also, the older jerseys will be going to a great cause in Africa, where Alan Kerins has been doing such great work . . . .”

Brilliant :rolleyes:
The big manufacturers have about 10 elite clubs that are given their own say in what the kit could be like then the lesser tier clubs get generic standard template , which is usually made up of the year previous elite club designs . Surely O’Neills could do an individual design for all counties and work all club and other jerseys off them templates, but O’Neills design and quality is so poor it’s hard to expect anything extra from them .

Again, Nike and Adidas dont do this, why would you expect O’Neills to? As for quality, I would have a lot of regard for O’Neills quality.
I like that kit.
yeah best leitrim kit in a good long while. If only wexford could produce a half decent one…
The purple change for Wexford is a splendid kit and should be retained, even that godawful sponsor looked ok on it.
yeah thats quite a nice kit, if sportsaves would relent and not insist on having their brand colours the kit would look far nicer…<img src=“http://www.oneills.com/media/catalog/product/cache/3/image/7bc563c4a34b97d9c7fba60d6553fdd2/w/e/wexford-purple-jersey-1.jpg” alt="wexford-purple-jersey-1.jpg]
I’m afraid Nike do, have done with Barcelona Man Utd , Arsenal and others.
I’m confused, when you say big manufacturers, are you referring to O’Neills or Nike/adidas? Are you comparing O’Neills to Nike? Are you comparing GAA Clubs to the likes of Man United? Maybe I picked you up wrong, I’m honestly not sure.
Anyway, I’ve always found O’Neill grand to deal with, their kit far better than the likes of the azzurri shit, having had both.
No I am not comparing them.
O’Neills to the GAA as is Adidas and Nike are to soccer. I think that’s the point being made here
Tyrone need to revert to red shorts ASAP. They look like Kildare at the moment.
They’re called togs for fuxake.
