LoI Kit Bag - 2023 Edition

[EatYerGreens]

2023 Bohs shirt out now too.

Has 'the Auld Triangle' printed througout the stripes.

Not entirely sure what I think about how that looks to be honest.

Suspect Rovers' away jersey will divide opinion:

Not keen on that personally. Can't put my finger on a main reason, but it just doesn't seem to work for lots of little reasons. I think the crest could really do with being the normal one with white on it, to help it stand out. And the sash should at least go to the top of the shoulder, rather than stop below the collarbone.

Sashes are also a bit old hat in football shirts at the moment anyway. Harps beat to them to it by a few years, for example.

Its a modern copy of a GAA shirt. I wore those colours for Parnells GAA club in Dublin a long time ago.

Think we have the edge on Cork in the home green shirt "Munster final" :

The white blocks on the shoulders are too big for my liking, and detract form it. Also make the red stripes stand out a lot too. I've preferred Cork jerseys when they've been almost entirely green tbh.

I like that home kit. The blue trim on the sleeves and neck looks well, and I like the style of the stripes

You just know that having So*Lo on your shirts is going to spawn lots of jokes/jibes.

We've come a long way from having Borderloo Toilet Hire on the back of the jersey a number of years ago.

I couldn't care less what's on the jersey if they pay their way to be on there, to be honest. There's worse sponsors and worse logos in the league on jerseys currently.

[Dermobohs]

Ridiculous numbering on the shamrock shirts , just trying to watch a pretty poor stream of the cup game in Derry there, bloody invisible that rovers numbering, might as well not bother.
Our shirts at bohs last season were similarly bad, black numbers on a red background, stupid stuff. You’d imagine shirt design would be a wee bit more attentive than that.

I was at rovers game against UCD on Saturday and the numbering on the away kit is fantastic, really easy to see.

[culloty82]

Could have done without the pinstripes, IMO, but that's a minor complaint!

Agree. I think they detract from what would otherwise be a decent shirt.

Bohs away - 10% of sales are going towards Palestine Sports for Life:

[yurt]

I'm sure the algorithm is skewing things for me and most others on here but it's pretty much every second post on my Twitter feed this morning.

I know a lot of people like to make fun of Bohs because they struggle to make the same waves on the pitch as they do off it, but I genuinely think they are having a significant positive impact on how football is viewed in the country.

This will reach a lot of Irish eyeballs in the coming days. Hopefully they can raise a lot of money for a good cause.

[pineapple stu]

Pity it's a manky kit though. Not a fan at all

Definitely. In a crowded footballing field, Bohs are getting themselves noticed - and usually in positive ways. They're by-far the smartest movers in this regard within the league.

[ontheotherhand]

My grandad always said "if you don't have anything negative to say about bohs, then don't say anything at all". That applies for that jersey/cause. Specifically that one mind you.

Yes have to give them credit, when it comes to virtue signaling and parting gullible eejits from there money they are top notch.
I dont see why Rovers Marketing people cant come up with something similer , Elvis on a Jersey or a jersey with 10% going to the Uyghers for instance. Theres plenty of causes out there and i think the reluctance must be to be seen to be copying Bohs but so what if there is money to be made.

There's nothing at all to stop other clubs supporting good causes and I won't even take the **** out of them for doing it. But throwing Elvis and Uighers in the mix would indicate a lack of any sort thought going into the project

[redobit]

Anther jersey from Bohemian FC ... that makes 6 I think :rolleyes:

https://twitter.com/bfcdublin/status/1628742074555039744?s=48&t=QQNU-m08L7CL9NnEidDVvA

6 jerseys in the middle of a cost of living crisis. Plus on the back of appointing a Climate Justice Officer and doing audits on their carbon footprint.

https://www.dublininquirer.com/2021/01/27/bohemian-f-c-to-audit-its-carbon-foot-ball-print

To be fair to them they have been doing good stuff off the pitch. But some of it is becoming a bit of a joke at this stage. Full of cr@p, truth be told.

[RealJohn91]

Only three of them are being used this season. Not sure why the club would stop selling the other ones for people who want to buy them especially when the good causes are still getting the benefits attached.

[sbgawa]

I'm not taking the **** , i think by comparison with Bohs Rovers make no effort to increase sales of jerseys by atrtaching them to charitible causes etc and thus Bohs have an edge on shirt Sales which helps run the club
As regards the Uyghers they have a lot more to moan about than the Palistinians but arent as Trendy so dont get the publicity or support they deserve........ Elvis>/ MArley what difference to be fair.....

[Dermobohs]

No one likes us, we don’t care.
But, our jersies, yeah they sell by the ****ing million. Don’t see the harm meself, I’m an oul fella so won’t be troubling the ladies in the club shop, but focus Ireland, refugees, and Palestinian kids wanting to play ball are all getting funds here, plus they’re nice shirts so good marketing imo.
I believe Dan lambert has got the Marley one into jamaicas airport shop too so expect more moolah coming.

Kerry have released a third jersey that is required to avoid a colour clash with Bray this evening.

Kerry have released a third jersey that is required to avoid a colour clash with Bray this evening.

Not sure about it being a requirement as Shels haven’t got a third kit and their away kit has white sleeves which refs in this country seem to think make the whole kit clash with Pats white sleeves. Meaning Pats will also be wearing their away kit tonight.

Pats have a new yellow third kit released a couple of weeks ago which will mean Bohs don’t have to wear their away kit against pats in Dalymount. I really think in this day and age all clubs should be required to have a third kit because kit clashes are far too common an occurrence and it makes the league look ametuer hour with home clubs wearing away kits

New UCD home kit that debuted on Friday against Pats. Really nice kit in my opinion. In true LOI fashion it was ready just in time for the F?i?r?s?t? eighteenth game of the season ;)

https://www.sportsfile.com/id/2529739/

[cláirseach]

I think UCD's last kit was brought in midseason too. Presume they're working to some broader schedule there. And yes, another nice UCD kit.

[pineapple stu]

I think we had our last kit for the start of a season but then a charity sponsor was added mid-season

It reminds me of a Dublin City kit, but then when I looked online I couldn't find it. Am I going mad or did Dublin City wear something similar at one stage?

[total hoofball]

Shels will be back wearing O'Neills kits next season for the first time since 1997-98

Any indications of what is happening with kits next season for the remaining Umbro crop - Rovers, Pats, Waterford and Athlone?

It’s not been announced yet but Pats will be with O'Neills next season, with gear for next season already ordered in. Pats and Umbro was I would imagine the longest standing partnership a brand and a club had in Ireland with this year being the 20th consecutive season they made the kits, having started in 2004

UCD and O'Neills go back way further than that. Here's Jason Sherlock in 1995 in an O'Neill's UCD kit for example -

Great shout, forgot about UCD. I’ve never seen a non O'Neills UCD kit come to think of it

Rumour in Longford is that we are in talks with Puma to make the kit for next season which will be our 100 year anniversary! Have Puma ever entered the Irish market before either north or south?

Cliftonville are with Puma at the moment. Can’t think of many LOI as having been with them - not to say there’s hasn’t been a club with them. Definitely no Premier division club has in the last 15 or so years anyways.

EDIT: Galway were with them a few years ago in the FD

Galway United had Puma a couple of years ago - you may remember the yellow away jersey in particular.

They were nice jerseys but I think the advantage with O'Neills is you can design bespoke jerseys rather than an off-the-shelf design.

[cláirseach]

Though the Longford rumour may be untrue, Puma have done Cliftonville's kits for years. Poor enough gear in my opinion. They've also had a cut at others such as Ballymena.

[Iorfa2MaccaJim]

I think Puma made Kildare County’s jersey’s when they entered the League
