The ball is round and has many surprises.
I suppose we could put them in the wash with some yellow flags alright see what happens??Actually when you put it like that... I'm back on board. Blue forever baby!
All moot anyway since we probably wont get a license
Sure we can follow Cobh's second string in the 'A' Championship then. I suspect exposure to top flight ball would probably be the death of us all!All moot anyway since we probably wont get a license

We don't even have our Kilkenny plan to fall back on anymore
And Athlones ground is souless
So ya looks like Queenstown reserves for us
I've nothing against a green away strip so potential supporters amongst the rednecks can wear their jerseys and fit in.
But I'd be very surprised and no small bit annoyed if we ditched our traditional colours just to "blend in" with them. At least there's a bit of a story behind how we ended up wearing blue and white as opposed to their appropriation of green which is no more exclusive to the Limerick region than it is to any other part of the island.
Besides ...if we were to engage in a bandwagon hopping exercise then surely Red jerseys with navy and gold trim would be a more reliable bandwagon? ... no less pathetic either.

The hockey crowd will come out for a few weeks every summer though regardless of how hopeless the cause is.
Agree totally with the rest of your post
FFS lads blue wasn't even our original colours if we are sticking to the 70 year old club line...

Show me where anyone sticks to said line
You're talking to fans of Senior Football in a city whos club once changed its colours to accomodate a racehorse.
I like Blue.
I've never seen us play in anything other than Blue (at home..............Pike excluded)
I associate Blue with senior football in the city.
That is all.
Then frankly there'd be more legitimacy and continuity in "reverting" to the Stoke/Derry/Sunderland-esque red and white candy stripes than there'd be in playing in green which, whatever way you bend it, is tipping our toes for the gae community.
As I've already said, if we're to attempt to bask in the afterglow of someone elses popularity and success ...why not the MORE popular MORE successful Munster? Because it's as absurd as tacking ourselves onto the rednecks.
Blue and White are hand in hand with senior football in Limerick.

But the GAA crowd are way more popular than Munster
You reckonBut the GAA crowd are way more popular than Munster
Not where I come from (City, Northside) they're not.
They've had a good run in 2007 (on which I warmly and genuinely congratulate them btw) but they've a stadium they'll never fill and it'll probably be another decade before they're back at croker. This is a rugby town.
Anyway beside the point, Blue IS the colour!

Near the end of the season, we played a home match in white!I like Blue.

It was against Kilkenny I think: the refs showed with blue kits!
Also, the Kilkenny 'keeper was wearing a red L37 jersey!
Fight the good fight!
(Now with my very own account on foot.ie - How cool am I? - 15/02/07)
Definitely man.You reckon
You only have to look at the crowds they draw.
About 15,000 for first Tipp game.
20,000 Away fans in Thurles for the replay
25 - 30,000 at the second replay
25,000 at the Munster Final
25,000 at the Ireland Semi
At least 50,000 at the All Ireland
Only the GAA can bring out 15,000 City dwelling working class heavy drinkers and 15,000 redneck heavy drinkers for an orgy of heavy drinking following the boys in green.
Also (And I know I'm generalising a bit) I genuinely think the Munster supporter who wants a Munster jersey is the type of supporter far more likely to fork out for the actual replica kit.
I can genuinely say hand on heart that in the part of the city I'm from the GAA is at least ten times more popularNot where I come from (City, Northside) they're not.
I beg to differbut they've a stadium they'll never fill
They weren't far off doing it in the piddling rain against Tipp last summer.
Curse your pedantry RonanNear the end of the season, we played a home match in white!

I'm happy to accept your figures on face value but it'll be interesting to see if they're replicated next summer or the one after that if Limericks "Huff and Puff aint enough".
I would guess that within those numbers there would also be considerable constituencies of
*event Junkies (those who'll go along if it's in their face via the media long enough ...no need to change colours for them)
*Glory holes (they'll follow anything remotely successful they rationalise as "local" or "theirs" -Munster being an example -no need to change colours for them either.)

Would a potential change to green have anything to do with the fact that Waterford have stroked the only nice blue kit in the Ereea catalogue?
Limerick FC had a green O'Neills away kit a couple of years back. and I think the year before had a green umbro away kit I'm open to correction on both but I think that was the case.
What are the colours of the junior clubs involved with Limerick 37?
Before all the smart answers flow in, there are no junior clubs involved Titan.Would a potential change to green have anything to do with the fact that Waterford have stroked the only nice blue kit in the Ereea catalogue?

Ha?
Thanks. Sorry I thought they were set up with a few junior clubs involved. Must have been the cheese before bedtime scrambling my brain again!
A quick glance at the Errea website shows 6 or 7 alternative styles of blue kit, all of which would be infinitely preferable to a change to green.Would a potential change to green have anything to do with the fact that Waterford have stroked the only nice blue kit in the Ereea catalogue?
