We still haven't a new jersey unveiled yet

[De Town]

That Pat's jersey is a beauty. All 3 Derry ones are shocking IMO.

It's the now standard notation Europe wide for winning 10 domestic League titles

Pretty sure the Italians and Germans started the practice years ago

Shels were the first to have one in this country - followed by the renters and then Wexford Youths.

[Longfordian]

Wexford are taking the michael with their stars for winning underage competitions I reckon. Reminds me of Man City adding stars to their new crest because it looked good.

is it balls?! Its official in Italy, and thts it. After that its just up to clubs. Celtic had a "platinum" star on their kit to rival Rangers five gold. Aberdeen had 2 for their two european trophies (one of them the Super Cup). jaysus even Wexford have a couple of stars for the Youth inter county cups they've won

No problem with any club sticking a star on their jersey but its not official, and there's nothing stopping any club from having it

Seen our new kit last night. Looks the business.

What I meant was it's standard to particular Leagues Europe wide - such as Italy, Sweden, Germany, Turkey, Netherlands, etc. - who each have their own way of doing it.

People generally know what the star does denote - that's my reasoning behind the "standard notation" comment there.

[Sam_Heggy]

Does the Pats Jersey not look alot like a Cork one of old? Maybe it's just the sponsor.
Maybe Im just mad,
Maybe both,
Maybe I need to do some work rather than posting on here,
Maybe I sould stop saying Maybe?

[Jofspring]

Limerick have two Stars above the crest. As dodge says it doesn't really mean anything. Limerick could say its from winning two league titles but really it just looks good.

[mr.untitled]

drogs have a huge star right in the middle of our crest, think it was cos we won the league cup in 1984

[Kildare Lad]

The St.Pats jersey looks well in that close up picture, cool the way they have the bigger faded crest in the background.

fair points...

A friend has got a close up of the new Pats kit (which isn't available yet) and he said it looks excellent

Not true, we had a star before shels were even founded ..;)


The first colours of the club were white shirts with two red down stripes and a red star on the right side of the breast with black knicks. This was not the first choice but because some members found where these could be obtained at a very attractive price. The famous Red and Black colours were officially adopted in 1894,

Looking at the photos - it's the same main Umbro template as used for the Sweden National Team and Glentoran jerseys - as well as the current Premiership Referees Kit

Quite like it

that pats jersey reminds me of the one they wore in the 2003 cup final against us.. its their best ever kit I would safely say!

[Martinho II]

drogs have a huge star right in the middle of our crest, think it was cos we won the league cup in 1984

I am pretty sure that the star on Drogs jersey is a symbol of a a particular event in Drogheda a few hundred yrs ago.. I remember reading an article on that a few years ago...

The star and crescent are part of the Drogheda town crest. I heard somewhere that it's to do with Turkish ships visiting the port but I've no idea if that's true.

They were delivering materials for the new stadium, but unfortunately they were eaten by dragons just outside the port.

yep that defintely is the answer to that! rem readin an article in drogs match program about it a few yrs back from a cork city fan that used to post on here Walter Beare..

Unforeseen circumstances. Derogation.

[KianD]

When is the new Pats one on sale?

I've a mate in England who sees himself as a Pats fan (due to me and CuanaD taking him to Richmond once!) who could do with a bit of cheering up at the moment, might get him one...

Not for a long time by all accounts...

[MaryDrummer]

Hope the Galway United one is nice this year, I really liked the black and green away one last year.

[danthesaint]

does anyone else sponsored by umbro (bar renters and bohs), have their jerseys on sale yet????

obviously we just announced our sponsors this week, but rumours on our forum are saying late May or early June, surely it doesnt take 3 months to get jerseys off umbro, altho if past season are anything to go by, it does :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

are any other clubs experiencing the same problems??

cheers

[gufcfan]

I heard that particular design is being kept.

The black and green one was actually the 3rd kit. The green and blue striped one was the away jersey.

[gustavo]

Anyone know if we'll be getting a new one this year?

Problem may arise if you get caught in the tidal wave of EPL jerseys that come out every year. Happened us before that new jerseys were delayed for months due to Umbro focussing production on EPL jerseys (obviously a much bigger market). Not saying this is what has happened you but could be a factor.

[redobit]

Heard we're keeping the Home jersey and a new Away jersey to replace the Black and Gold one (Jako apparently not making it any more)

Usual lead time for custom made jerseys is 3-5 months. Given that Pats only announced the new sponsor yesterday and even allowing for the fact that the shirt was already designed it could easily be May before they have replicas ready. This isnt the fault of the manufacturer. Its nobodys fault really it just takes time to make stuff!

[Dunny]

Is this the away Pats jersey?

http://www.sportsfile.com/winshare/watermarked/Library/SF566/405472.jpg

[Doomofman]

As far as I know it was a one off jersey as our new home one wasn't ready... I'd be happy if that ends up being our away jersey though... I think it's quite nice...

[eelmonster]

And that's the sultan's ship too ... it's an urban legend. The crescent and star are from the seal of King John who gave the Drogheda (and Dundalk) its charter in the 12th century. http://www.ngw.nl/int/ier/d/drogheda.htm

Love the new Pat's kit.

[dancinpants]

Pats jersey is nice alright...kinda 80's retro look to it.

All the umbro rigs are nice in fairness, some are just ruined by the team sponsors on the front.

As for ours, the "artist impressions" look a bit much, hoping the real thing looks a bit more simplified, and I hope the sponsor logo is integrated a bit better ruins the top a bit at the moment.

[MaryDrummer]

Oh right. Hate that green and blue one...hope that scrap that one.


It's pretty much the same as last years one http://www.sportsfile.com/id/405280/

Meh, not really liking it.

[Pauro 76]

First Division kits are all here.

http://www.sportsfile.com/id/405271/

Here's my best and worst jerseys, both divisions...

Best: Monaghan United's looks great, Pats and Bohs efforts are retro-tastic. Derry's kit is nice too.
Worst: Drogheda's sponsor logo looks dreadful, Galway's kits look quite cheap. UCD's sponsor kinda ruins it too, but the kit does look good apart from it.

What's Cork's FORAS kit going to be? Same as Cork City's? And is Wexford County's colours going to be pink first choice?

[El-Pietro]

All we know is that we will be playing in Green with red and white trim, same as always

[Dodge]

Well always seeing as its your first ever kit

Cork City (1984) haven't always had a green kit. They've had white as the main coulour, and of course the red to replicate their GAA county colours

bar as you said the Davey Barry era when we had a blood & bandage phase.

[Dodge]

Yeah, but "for the most part" isn't the same as "always"

Without checking I'd say your home kit was more white than green for most of your history. Granted its nearly always been the same 3 colours in a variety of styles
