The Black and Tan from Kerry is by far the worst, especially in the centenary year of their rampages in 1919.

Something to do with Shannon airport perhaps? Seems like a very strange link up between two institutions!

Limerick will be Adare Manor next year so I don't know if it will also mean a new kit or just sticking it on the current gear

Yeah I think Aeroflot had Shannon as some sort of Western European base at one stage!

The skull and crossbones have been seen at UCC as far back as 1880-81, though it was not the propriety of the GAA teams in those days. In late Victorian times, UCC was mostly a medical school and the junior doctors who played for the school's rugby club, fittingly, used a skull and crossbones as the symbol of their team. Over the years, Murphy writes, the skull has sometimes had teeth and sometimes hasn't, but the rugby club more or less refused to share the skull and crossbones with other UCC sports teams. It wasn't until the late 1920s that the college's other sports teams donned the memento mori. In 1999, UCC copyrighted the skull and crossbones. Murphy's book also includes an anecdote about UCC's famous Sigerson win in 2011, where injured captain and Kerryman Adrian Greaney gave an 'Any Given Sunday' style speech and famously drew the skull and crossbones on his plaster cast. I think there's another element to your UCC Jersey story that has been missed. I can't remember where I read it but the Bertram Windle Building in UCC houses the medical lectures on campus and has done since the 19th century I believe. The Kane building stand behind the medical building, on the site of the old gaol. The story goes that unclaimed bodies from the gaol were sent as cadavers to the medical building, in bags marked with the skull and crossbones - the genesis of the rugby club logo.

Waterford wore white shorts and white shirts with blue cuffs. They looked like they had come from the grave yard. I think the problem was that the official county colours are white and blue. Not blue and white. Thankfully they now ignore that. Canuck (Waterford) - Posts: 3026 - 03/12/2019 18:35:43 2252996 Link 0 |

Meath had a grey jersey out around ten years ago. It was a sight for sore eyes. OLLIE (Louth) - Posts: 12224 - 03/12/2019 21:01:15 2253028 Link 0 |
Sponsors' logos ruin jerseys. Top of my head, I'm thinking the Meath Mr Tayto logo, Cork's Chill, Westmeath's yellow Renault, the red Vodafone logo Dublin had a few years ago (wouldn't be that bad in itself except for the fact Dublin wear blue!).

It is interesting that people either dislike the Carlow Jersey or love it Blackbog (Carlow) - Posts: 754 - 04/12/2019 08:39:20 2253107 Link 0 |

My theory on this is, it's not all about the Jersey they dislike it's more to do with the county, in other words if someone dislikes the county they will automatically dislike the jersey that's because the jersey represents the county, and so, if they love the county they automatically love the jersey, personally I love Carlow.

Going with most here, Kerry "black and tan" awful jersey whoever came up with it, Kilkenny socks are ancient despite all my nostalgia on here sometimes...Wexford and Clare jerseys gone too ultra modern, the yellow/primrose is now a few inches on the shoulders and stripes down the sleeves...the logo is now the new "band" around the belly with the sponsor often in RED which destroys the whole thing in my view...not being biased but I cannot see how Offalys jersey is not nicer than Carlows, no disrespect at all but I never like the combination of so many live colours, Offaly have the green and gold with a white hoop, again the old version was better than the versions we have had in recent times...Galways maroon, mmmm never liked it as a colour, nor Westmeath...never liked Black but Downs red and black of yesteryear and current probably still is nice to look at...Sligos black and white when matched properly not too bad but for some reason doesnt do much for me either...Fermanaghs dark green, not much can be done with that, Limerick has a more natural green to look at..Ballygunner in Club, hard on the eye, Belmont of Offaly and i think Glenrovers in Cork, yellow, green and Black!!..sorry being an offaly man I think they are woeful combinations whoever picked/assigned those...Waterford county jerey looks well with the blue and white well balanced...Cork with Chill on the front is a bit annoying too, Chill in purple writing on a red jersey is it??..look we could be here all day, and not out to offend anyone so feel free to add more...couldnt possibly cover them all...Dr. Crokes Killarney...not a nice jersy...
