Inniskeen could have beaten Scotstown-without-the-Currin-Man, but would Inniskeen-without-the-Westerns-man have beaten Scotstown-without-the-Currin-man?

Jeez that sponsor is horrendous looking on the jersey. You'd think they'd offer to turn the logo blue on the jersey just, for the sake of the county jersey. There's going to be no confusing their company with any others with a name like that, they don't need it to be that gaudy red on the blue and white top. Looks like we're sponsored by homesavers..

Yeh, not a thing of beauty, but sponsors pay the bills and I can understand them not wanting their colours changed.

Actually I think the 2 pairs of 3 stripes on the shoulders are worse looking, looks like they were put on 2 minutes before the thing went to 'print', would have been nicer without, but that seems to be O Neills 'thing' this year. Some of the other counties, Donegal for example, have the county crest as a background, which looks good. We've got random triangles? Leaves? Ice? The logo on the back doesn't improve matters either, not well integrated into the design.

Would be great to see a club like Glen who only use players from within their club team to knock scotstown out of the ulster championship.

Beautiful jersey in my opinion. Sponsor looks really well on it! Love the watermark design through. Let's hope it's a successful year.

Can't think of many worse, only saw the front earlier. The back is awful too - the sponsor is the size of the numbers. Such a plastery mess, wouldn't see kerry or Dublin togging out wearing thon

Went and sorted the Christmas present for the kids today and picked up three Monaghan jersey. It's worse in person. It has more ads than done deal. The stupid grey design splashed over it makes it up there with Derry as the worst jersey going.

Sometimes keeping it simple works better. The away jersey could be a better seller when it's launched.

On the plus side McManus being part of the unveiling was great news.

Ah lads, this new jersey is going to take some getting used to.
Echo all the concerns.

Appreciating that past is behind us, but the first "Investec" jersey will take some beating: a classic design that adorned 2 Ulster titles and a sponsor logo that complimented rather than distracted, plus the added bonus of a gem of an all green version for Rory against Cavan. Still wearing them.
