We've been green fairly consistently since after the Dave Barry red spell. And it's in our club rules now.
Away and third shirt colours have changed fairly regularly alright.
actually when ye were 1st in loi micls was that green and white?

This was the first kit.
The colours have always been green/white/red but which colour was the primary strip has changed. We had a couple of years which were mostly white with green and red trim. And then the one attempt at red as a main colour.
More recently, it's been harder to get kits with all 3 colours so it tends to be just green with maybe some white.

This was in the pipeline from last year. Apparently they want to focus on the Horseware side of the business. Seems mad because they are selling a huge amount of gear locally. They’ll be a loss to a lot of junior teams that they supplied locally aswell, not to mention job losses.

Wonder is it possible that someone might take on the brand/contracts, there is another sportswear startup in Dundalk that could get a boost in the niche markets if they took a punt. Wouldnt be a bad investment for an established sportsware manufacturer either to take over the brand and keep it going as a branch of their own company, wishful thinking I suppose to keep the local company and jobs going. It was establishing itself nicely with good quality gear and a nice catalogue of designs too so its a pity. If it was raking in the cash I cant see Horseware culling CX+ mind or not 'franchising' it out somehow. Capacity at their premises in Dundalk is flat out just on the horseware and its the main earner in the portfolio, having another site just outside the town might have been costly and with no room to transfer production to their HQ. Irish Athletics was a good contract to have, Dundalk FC sales were solid. Dont know about Drogheda and Coleraine and I have no doubt they could have expanded their clients. Does the Rambo rugby gear still exits or was that ended before?

Limerick away. Same design as home, just in red. Shirt itself is fine, but plain red isn't a colour I associate with Limerick.

The original Limerick FC, 1937 version, played in red-and-white stripes?

Yeah, red and white stripes. And that was an away kit about 10 years ago too, but not plain red.

The Limerick blue is actually Waterford blue. They bought Waterford's shirts when WFC went out of football in 1941, changing at that point from red and white stripes.

So after he shocking Cork stole Dundalk colours 'scandal' it now emerges Limerick stole Waterford's ? the horrific secrets of LOI football :rolleyes:
In 1890 Bohemian FC first ever strip was white shirts with Black shorts, just saying........

Because everyone knows that the Gods wear red and white stripes :cool:

Shouldn't be up to the home side to change gear. That's why we've third kits as well as away kits.

Aren't kitmen supposed to contact each other in advance to organise what kit each team are planning on bringing to avoid a clash? I can understand this happening when you've buttimer getting upset over something nobody else would think of like sleeves or something but with socks? Cmon lads really?

Wheter this is accurate or not I was told it was up to the home side to have another kit ready and they didn't have it because it was off being of branded and they'll be fined for it.

Must have helped Longford so. Those were Athlone's lucky socks. It is all downhill from here for Athlone.

Bohs jerseys, Athlone socks, clubs vsiting Longford should make sure to lock away their shorts :D
Dundalk have a new charity tie-in third kit, which is all very commendable. Pity the kit is absolutely hideous though.

Laudable charity, but are there no deserving health related charities in the North East?

I heard the kit had a very high opinion of itself. Certainly the first kit wouldn't be the same without it, and it might even get to be the national team kit soon

Wasted as Irish national kit, should be France or maybe Germany as they are improving.
The first kit is just the face of the club, the real expertise and skill is in the 3rd strip

Sadly those loving outside of Dublin ususally have to use Temple Strather than a local hospital for children.

There is a top class Paeds Department in OLOL , which I would say could do with some support from the biggest town in the North East. Drumcar badly needs support as do CAMH and ambulance services in Co Louth.
First the link with Malahide United and now the link to a Dublin hospital,! great sense of community or what?

The link with Malahide was strategic.
There are so many great causes in the world and they can't all benefit. I don't know why Temple St was chosen but usually there is some connection such as someone (or multiple peoples) children getting treated there.
It seems like people want to knock the link up for the sake of knocking it, not because of a good reason.

Questioning it because of the tangential connection between your community and a charity relatively unrelated to that community.Am all for clubs linking up with charities,Derry did it with their first team shirt 're local addiction services,Bohs and Rovers did it on the pink jersey derby games for cancer.
Granted , neither of those have the "aww" factor of a children's hospital.
BTW Chidrens (national) neurosurgical services in Beaumont are currently fundraising for a parents waiting room in the hospital, deatails from Beaumont Foundation.
I'd be quite sure that a large portion of Dundalks population had at least one relative treated in Temple Street. Personally I have had three in the last few years and all live in Dundalk. Temple St is by all means a national childrens hospital and it is the closest one for people travelling from Dundalk.
As for Beaumont....as I said earlier, often charities are chosen due to the people organising the fundraising having a direct connection with them. A lot of the players and people associated with the club have children and no doubt a number of them were treated by Temple St. It is usually the first port of call when children are referred from doctors and the Louth County hospital (which has had services slashed over the years). It is very possible that there was no direct connection with Beaumont.
By all means, fundraise for Beaumont yourself if you feel such a connection but don't expect others to fundraise for them when there are other charities closer to heart.

I have my doubts if a Paediatric Unit in a neighbouring town or St John of Gods in Drumcar (especially with it's recent controversies) would make for a more appropriate community partner simply on the basis that they are geographically closer than the National Children's Hospital.
There is an existing established relationship with Dundalk FC and players / staff most recently visited Temple Street Children’s Hospital in December
https://www.dundalkfc.com/temple-street-childrens-hospital-visit/
The cause is excellent and well deserving of support.
I hear no criticism in Dundalk that the National Children's Hospital will be the beneficiary of this initiative, and expect that it will be well supported in the community.

How is this a connection between your community and a charity? Is it because people in Phibsborough and Tallaght get cancer? As do people nationwide. People in Dundalk use Temple Street as do people nationwide.

Another great point.
Explain how Bohs pink jersey initiative is connected to the Phibsborough community but this initiative is not connected to the Dundalk community?
Oh and BTW the fact that you're even questioning a charity related initiative is the real embarrassment here.

Thanks for the correction, although I'm sure you knew I was referring to Temple Street Children's University Hospital.
When checking the full title I notice the website description of it being an acute paediatric hospital that cares for 145,000 sick children annually. I don't like the jersey, but I'll certainly support the cause.
I think it's a little sad that you appear eager to be repetitively critical of an initiative that will raise money for such a good cause.

Just repeatedly making the point that linking in to a popular , well supported charitable foundation,( rather than a lower profile charity closer to your community) two counties awa,y smacks of virtue signalling a la Smashie and Nicey .
Good luck with the jersey anyway, guaranteed purple patch.

At a time when much play is made of clubs involvement in their local community is important to the development of the game I don’t think asking if there were charities closer to home is so wrong. Nobody doubts the brilliant work done by Temple Street but, for example, there is brilliant work done in OLOL and it’s nearer Dundalks base (I bet every Dundalk supporter has had reason to visit OLOL at some time).
Not criticizing DFC for the excellent iniative just some thinking they missed an opportunity.
