Overall I think we have a relatively good record over the years with jerseys in Meath apart from a few one off aberrations, the final jersey in '90 which for some reason had "An Mhí" in big letters across the chest was unnecessary and the short lived O'Reilly Transport jersey in '91 with the gold sleeves bore a resemblance to kitchen curtains of the '70's. Donegal under Azzuri had an awful mustardy yellow kit with vertical green stripes which was pure cat and that Galway away camouflage jersey doesn't do anything for me, I agree that the Chill logo does nothing for the Cork jersey and Wexford had a few ropey efforts too but have returned to more popular styles. I await with interest the unveiling of the new Meath jersey in mid December which is rumoured to be a throwback to the late 80's design with the squares on the front, sometimes retro is good if done properly, we shall see.

Well yes. I wasn't attacking anybody's taste, merely expressing a personal view that modern jerseys are over-designed and fussy looking. Also, retro or modern, no fan (me included) should wear a jersey unless they've been on a few training runs. Beer guts, moobs and flabby arms never look great, but at least you can half disguise them with normal clothes - they look even worse in a sports top! And don't get me started on Antrim's new sponsor. Fonacab? Cue the jeers after every missed point: "taxi for [insert name of bloke having an off-day]" essmac (Tyrone) - Posts: 1141 - 01/12/2019 14:35:56 2252473 Link 0 |

Alot of mention of awful sponsors but would most counties have a particular iconic one.Barrys tea/Cork would be the stand out for me with Antrim/Bushmills being another. Breezy (Limerick) - Posts: 1236 - 01/12/2019 15:37:28 2252482 Link 0 |

I think we're the only team in the country to have our original sponsor in Kerry group.

A perfect fit as a sponsor. I think Galway have always had Supermacs too but only in hurling also theyre the only county I can think of that used to have completely different designs for hurling and football Breezy (Limerick) - Posts: 1236 - 01/12/2019 16:01:51 2252492 Link 0 |

Ya it's a great fit for sure we're very lucky to have them, Did Galway have Air Arann at one stage? I liked the way limerick had no sponsors on their jersey this year it reminded me of the way Barcelona did semilar years ago. KingdomBoy1 (Kerry) - Posts: 14092 - 01/12/2019 16:37:34 2252500 Link 3 |

You could be right about the sleeves , so Galway could have white sleeves the same with limerick if that's what the theme O'Neills seems to be going for.

Ya Aer Arann were on the football kits which were a different design back then but hurlers have always been Supermacs

Clare ran off to Eircell/Vodafone in the early 00s when our stock was high but back we trotted to Pat O Donnell after that. In fairness to Pat bar the two or so years we had a different sponsor his company has been unreal to clare LohansRedHelmet (Clare) - Posts: 2472 - 02/12/2019 09:32:34 2252608 Link 2 |

Just looking at the sponsors per County and it is an eclectic mix from the family run/local business up to the multinationals. Offside_Rule (Antrim) - Posts: 4058 - 02/12/2019 10:54:54 2252630 Link 1 |

Clare were briefly sponsored by Aeroflot, the Russian State Airline, too!

Good man - likely one or two more in there due to change. My scientific research involved looking at the current jerseys available on the O'Neills website so depends on who have launched their new jerseys for next season then.

I've just googled this - the jerseys had Aeroflot written in Cyrillic. Gas!

Not one of the best design on a roscommon Jersey but the worst ever I think not.
