Far too plain for me. On the opposite end of the spectrum to the Harps home jersey this year which had far too much going on on it :D

[Burnsie]

most leagues wouldn't allow a change kit that will presumably look identical to the home kit to people who are colour-blind

That doesn't make sense surely. Isn't colour blindness about confusing red and green anyway ?

[EatYerGreens]

Sounds like Harps have got in on the Club Poet trend.

Will they announce a Climate Change Officer next? Or at least a 'Red Diiesel' one ?

There is blue-green colour blindness as well, although it's quite rare. Red-green is the most common alright

[sbgawa]

Love the idea of launching it with a kid instead of a player. Nice touch.
not wild about the jersey .

I like that 3rd Harps top. I hope the 3rd kit due to be launched by Dundalk is along those lines and with little fuss.

Yeah colour blindness is a bit mad if ye happen to know someone who has it. blue.green.red, different combinations and some people actually have no colour perception. It could seriously start being a consideration in kit designs in due course - Cork and Sligo having to change which kits they play each other in in the future maybe - dont know how the referees will cope with the prematch stress. As much as it sounds like a 1st of April thing, in a few years Ireland V Wales in rugby probably wont be played in green and red shirts - colours would clash like this for red/green colour blindness.https://static01.nyt.com/images/2015/11/14/sports/football/14COLORS1/14COLORS1-facebookJumbo.jpg?year=2015&h=549&w=1050&7e306f6d731d4b0c37638262f3dd1ada&k=ZQJBKqZ0VN


(silly info, the Londoner picked that picked red and green for stop and go for traffic lights caused plenty of unintentional grief for down the line....and the first example used blew up killing a traffic copper too. and then there is Tipperary Hill and the upside down ones...major political incident on Anglo-Irish stuff in the US).

[Finlay Harp]

No red diesel but a green one and poitin officer will hopefully be in place before the season starts.

Good to see Oliie being given extra responsibility :D

Very fitting for Bohs to include a 'Whipping Boys' song title on next seasons jersey, in tribute to their decade of trophyless years

[Nesta99]

In normal English doesnt that actually mean 'we need everybody else'?

*maybe 'we need somebody else' is more accurate and does probably fit better!

[sadloserkid]

Love Whipping Boy. A bit weird for Bohs to be picking a song about domestic abuse though, no?

[placid casual]

It's not a climate officer they require it's an education officer.
Fu**in cretins!!🤡🤡.

007,licence to kill ambition.

[Northsider]

Nice jersey, I give it 8 out of 10.

[Nah Nah Nah Nah]

It’s awful

[D24Saint]

Jaysus that Bohs shirt is horrendous. Why do people have to try and be so clever these days and therefore make a mess of things. They should stick to the traditional black & red stripes and just play around with it year on year. It’s like the time we moved to a pure red shirt & sleeves, I hated it.

Just too many shirts are released these days so making them new and unique is a tough job. Has resulted in lots of clubs breaking away from their traditional kits, Barca, Juve and now Bohs off the top of my head. That jersey is fine as a third kit.

It’s perfectly fine for a training top type of thing. The Pats shop had something similar a few years back. It’s ok to play around with training & away/third shirts but with home shirts I love the traditional colours & style.

[DCWA]

I know nothing of the musical reference but that is a very nice top.

Ditto, that all red effort from Pats was awful. Looked liked a Shels shirt:eek:

Derry away on O'Neills site

https://www.oneills.com/uk_en/derry-city-fc-away-jersey-light-sky-shadow-white-adults.html

[sbgawa]

I'm a stickler for tradition so i really don't like that Bohs jersey , for me Bohs are black and red stripes just like Rovers are Green and white hoops.
Rovers are having a huge sale in the shop of the current home jersey so I'm assuming new one coming, i wont be happy if they go down this Bohs trendy route.

[DCWA]

Derry’s away no longer on O’Neills as they put it up q day early mistakenly. A shame because the club had done very well to prevent any significant leaks and it’s a nice top, they have tried something different and done it well so fair play.

Images are widely available now anyway of screengrabs from O’Neills online shop so cat is out of the bag.

I'm red/ green colour blind. It's mainly between shades of reds and greens that I don't see the difference, and then Dark Red v Dark Brown v Dark Green. Red v Green on a pitch I don't recall an issue, either between teams or the team in green and the pitch!

I remember watching a snooker programme called Pot black years ago when the Telly was in black and white, you always had to keep an eye on the green when it left its spot as it looked like the reds

[pineapple stu]

Pot Black was actually commissioned (by David Attenborough) to make you go out and buy the new-fangled colour TV sets.

Actually, depending on the set of balls, snooker was one of the places I had an issue with Green v Brown, and sometimes Brown v Red.

Orange on green can be more of an issue - hence I couldn't be a train driver as the line maintenance "hi viz" colour is Orange. Anyway, to continue way off topic, the optician can drop in red lenses and then I can see all shades of all colours!

As obvious as it is i'd not though of snooker as problematic. Also with mention of red lenses helping, it would make more sense for me now that World Rugby and and sports that follow dont restrict the use of certain colours - surely apps/filters on various devices etc could be developed if not done already, that would sort the issue for this cohort of tv audiences without mandating a change to playing colours used in jersies. At live events I dunno, can red contact lenses be used Macy, though possibly issue with the varying degrees of the condition and the change of other colours then? (thanks for that nugget of info though - maybe smart contact lenses that can adjust for normal colour perception and red/green preception should be patented!!).

[Macy]

I'm not an optimologist, but red lenses would feck up other aspects of the vision! Fix one problem, cause others.

That’s a nice shirt by Umbro. Their stuff has improved leaps and bounds in recent seasons.

New Shels home shirt

[Knocklyonhoop]

To be fair, most of Bohs recent jerseys have been a nice kit (even if I hate them). But that yoke is horrendous.

derry away is nice

[EatYerGreens]

That’s a nice shirt by Umbro. Their stuff has improved leaps and bounds in recent seasons.

Agree that's a good shirt for what are always tricky colours to work with.

The last couple of Drogs away shirts have been nice too.

[EatYerGreens]

https://shelbournefc.ie/shels-reveal-2022-home-jersey/

Controversial pattern. Looks a bit like something O'Neills would do.

[total hoofball]

Controversial pattern. Looks a bit like something O'Neills would do.
Nothing looks controversial compared to Bohs 2022 christmas jumper shirt but it's another ticking the box trend of early 90's pattern ridden shirts that have stunk in football in recent years, if it was mostly plain red it would have been one of our nicest with that homage on the sleeves to our 1999-2001 shirt

[2 Year Contract]

Bohs away jersey seems to have been leaked on sportsfile. Its actually pretty nice, I’d say their fans will be happy with it anyways

I think that's pretty ugly personally.

[sadloserkid]

I don't think I've seen one really nice kit in this thread yet to be honest. Looking like a fairly uninspiring catalogue season ahead of us!

[Martinho II]

I personally think thats the best Waterford jersey that I have seen from them in years. I love the design of it.

[Nesta99]

Designs seem to me to be following a 1990's trend. I like retro shirts (do we call the '90s retro...ugh getting old!), but of the simpler pre mid 80's(?) designs that didnt mess with the basics too much. Dundalk FC - White jersey, crest and sponsor, with a black sleeve and collar trim, black shorts and black or white socks. 2nd kit a reversal of home colours, play around a bit with a third kit. We've done the Dundalk GNR kit, maybe a version of our early Dundalk FC kit of white top and blue shorts could crop up.

Fashion does tend to repeat itself every 20yrs or so.

[joey B]

The Waterford kit seems to have gone down well with the locals down there which is the main thing I suppose….

[2 Year Contract]

Really like that Waterford jersey, best new jersey I’ve seen for next season. All the new Umbro jerseys are excellent actually

[Mr A]

Having seen the green Harps one in the flesh I think it's a lovely shirt and a nice alternative to Ireland shirts for us as Umbro seem to consistently make a balls of those. I do like the Waterford one as well.
