Replying To suckvalleypaddy: "The Black and Tan from Kerry is by far the worst, especially in the centenary year of their rampages in 1919." Well actually the "Black and Tans" were only recruiting from the beginning of 1920, and didn't arrive into Ireland in force until that summer.

Replying To supersub15: "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." Agreed . I bloody hate Clare jerseys. Carlow's are quite nice and pretty unique colours for this part of the world Breezy (Limerick) - Posts: 1236 - 04/12/2019 20:26:50 2253248 Link

Replying To Breezy: "Agreed . I bloody hate Clare jerseys. Carlow's are quite nice and pretty unique colours for this part of the world" Breezy, I'll cherish your post forever and I'll roar Limerick on 'till they win their next Liam McMcCarthy cup. PS Great similarity between the Limerick and St. Mullins colours. supersub15 (Carlow) - Posts: 3164 - 04/12/2019 22:19:24 2253276 Link
Replying To KingdomBoy1: "Are Carlow called the rasta boys?" You could call me a rasta, sure haven't I been fighting tooth and nail over the past 20 years to get rid of that back door. supersub15 (Carlow) - Posts: 3164 - 04/12/2019 22:32:06 2253280 Link
green jerseys in general are god awful lilypad (Kildare) - Posts: 1363 - 04/12/2019 22:55:51 2253286 Link
Replying To Breezy: "The new Kerry kit would be great if the sleeves were green no need to mess with an iconic jersey As for Cork I cant understand why they cant just write Chill in white lake all previous sponsers for Cork" The worst part is they can put the chill logo in white, it is on the back of the jersey DuhallowRed (Cork) - Posts: 310 - 05/12/2019 02:19:51 2253299 Link
Replying To DuhallowRed: "The worst part is they can put the chill logo in white, it is on the back of the jersey" Maybe something to do with the Branding. It is an awful Jersey because of the sponsor. Like our own! Its like someone put a big sticker on them. Ban (Westmeath) - Posts: 1467 - 05/12/2019 09:31:11 2253317 Link
Replying To lilypad: "green jerseys in general are god awful" What about the Kildare away jersey or any Irish jerseys?? KingdomBoy1 (Kerry) - Posts: 14092 - 05/12/2019 10:07:52 2253327 Link
I think in general O'Neills do not make an attractive jersey or even shirts for that matter. They have lines going all over the place and some of the colors are terrible. They have carried over theses ugly designs into their jerseys now. gatha (Kilkenny) - Posts: 318 - 05/12/2019 11:56:28 2253344 Link
Replying To gatha: "I think in general O'Neills do not make an attractive jersey or even shirts for that matter. They have lines going all over the place and some of the colors are terrible.

Teams should be allowed to get adidas Nike or puma if they so desire. KingdomBoy1 (Kerry) - Posts: 14092 - 05/12/2019 12:17:46 2253348 Link
Replying To lilypad: "green jerseys in general are god awful" Careful now. Down with this sort of thing Breezy (Limerick) - Posts: 1236 - 05/12/2019 13:41:40 2253358 Link
Replying To Breezy: "Careful now. Down with this sort of thing" Don't mind him breezy, he also doesn't like ex pats . But he loves the color blue. KingdomBoy1 (Kerry) - Posts: 14092 - 05/12/2019 14:29:32 2253375 Link
Love the waterford jersey! The only one that i can think of that is really ugly is the Kerry one from last year I think. The gold coloured one. Jackeen (Dublin) - Posts: 4097 - 05/12/2019 15:03:12 2253391 Link
Every Carlow jersey up to the last few years were disasters. an awful eyesore. saying that the kerry home jersey for 2020 is vile woops (Kerry) - Posts: 2073 - 05/12/2019 15:26:28 2253397 Link

Possibly restrictions on design variations are stopping anything too different from ever seeing the light of day. Dubh_linn (Dublin) - Posts: 2313 - 05/12/2019 15:41:14 2253407 Link
Replying To woops: "Every Carlow jersey up to the last few years were disasters. an awful eyesore. saying that the kerry home jersey for 2020 is vile" To make the Carlow Jersey even worse, the Sponsor is just far too busy, CIT in different languages, the Crest. Surprised they didnt try to fit in their prospectus! They need to evolve their Jersey in the same way as Wexford. They have it nailed. Clean and simple design Ban (Westmeath) - Posts: 1467 - 05/12/2019 15:50:11 2253408 Link

Replying To essmac: "I don't like any modern jerseys. Gaelic or soccer, every time I see old plain jerseys (1970s and earlier), be it Iggy Jones, G Best or Jack O'Shea, no sponsors and no intricate details, I think they all look brilliant. I loved the old Carlow jerseys when they were 3 plain horizontal blocks of colour, like a Rasta flag. Now, it's a mess. The 70s Kerry jersey looked very strong. The 1950s and earlier Tyrone jersey had a massive red hand, life sized, nothing else; like someone had dipped their hand in a pot of red paint. Again, looked great. Modern jerseys far too fussy; but I accept it's driven by sponsors and boards want to sell jerseys" You're right. It's driven by selling new jerseys every year. Eventually you run out of decent designs. I don't like sponsors' logos but I put up with them because of the funding. lionofludesch (Down) - Posts: 475 - 05/12/2019 18:16:48 2253438 Link

They need to evolve their Jersey in the same way as Wexford. They have it nailed. Clean and simple design" They did try a mostly red jersey in Carlow a few years back and it looked awful. The colours can work they just need to keep to a clean classic look and leave out the mad swirls and lines. Last thing they should do is pick 1 colour which is boring unless it is historic like Corks plain red or Real Madrid's plain white shirts Breezy (Limerick) - Posts: 1236 - 05/12/2019 18:42:48 2253445 Link
