[culloty82]

Are Sligo the first to unveil their home jersey for next season?

[D24Saint]

Can’t see any of the clubs with Umbro releasing anything this year. I’d say it’s a huge scramble to get anything at all for the start of the season.

[2 Year Contract]

That Sligo jersey is a shocker. Looks like 3 designers couldn’t decide on a final design so they went with all 3 options on the one kit :D Surprised as Joma had 3 lovely Sligo kits in 2022

[Nah Nah Nah Nah]

Yup. Awful. Worst in a long time.

[EatYerGreens]

Not keen on that Sligo shirt at all. If I was their fans I'd be annoyed that the whole 'Bit o' Red' thing has transformed into 'Almost all red' over the last few years.

[Martinho II]

Lads have you a link to that new Sligo Jersey at all please?

Always thought Sligo's best kit was their mid-late 70's, classic red and white stripes, red shorts, possibly red socks too, almost like Red Star Belgrade.

Surprised by that one, this crowd have not been good at deliveries for junior clubs, heard stories of delays and unless they have any GAA counties this will be their biggest gig to date.

Hopefully they have improved, but still seems a very late deal to have signed (only last week I think) to have first team gear and for fans / xmas market.

Been in the works for ages. Our deal with Umbro was up end of this season either way so the downfall of Courtenay shouldn't affect anything too much, barring the misgivings everyone has on the quality and delivery/ access to gear. If they're anywhere near what CX were we'll be ok.

Yeah Joma have always given us nice kits, especially the last three. I didnt think the new one would go down that well but the younger generation seem to really like it and a good response on social media.

I initially wasn't mad about our kit last year, but it grew on me as the season went on. I don't think that Sligo effort is too bad.

Too busy dont have the time.

Confirmed now, but no photos yet or designs on new home kit, Bet Regal will still be on it as main sponsor.

Controversial opinion - there are already too many red kits in the league (home and away) without Cork adding another one.

[oriel]

We had same problem last year, away kit of all red (very nice) but could only wear that away to Rovers, FH and UCD due to the red / similar type colours.

[ToberonaTornado]

Drogs confirmed ERREA as new kit supplier yesterday.

Agreed. I don't like Cork City red kits.

Finally saw that Sligo Rovers kit. A stinker of a kit and a bit confusing! Are there other clubs that have similar type of jersey cross water?

[trevy]

It looks like someone ran a paintbrush across the Drogheda shirt.

havent seen it yet but am sure will come across it at some stage! why trend with crap jerseys? Is that because one of the kit manufacturers finanical problems recently?

[trevy]

I think the jersey designers want to be clever with these strange designs on jerseys instead of the normal look.
I prefer the normal look.

[Knocklyonhoop]

I actually like the Drogs one

[EatYerGreens]

Agree - I like it too. Good to see something a bit different.

[outspoken]

Is it claret or red? Looks red in the designs

[Shinkicker]

Bohs announce their new shirt tomorrow, let's hope they have a few new decent signings to model it.

[sbgawa]

Your setting the bar pretty high there, if it's not made out of a bus seat u are ahead

[Martinho II]

Looks red to me too Outspoken also!

New Bohs Jersey.
Return to stripes will please a lot of fans. I also like the tribute to mono. A great man.

Tis a fine shirt. Mono on it is a touch of class.

That Jersey is so good even rovers fans will buy it.

[sbgawa]

Am i missing something its red and black stripes???
Same as plenty of other years..

We have the same problem at Rovers with Green and white hoops tbh , hard to be creative without offending people by changing the core .

[culloty82]

It's good to see that they stick to the basics on the home jerseys at any rate.

It incorporates things close to Bohs hearts, stripes, round rest, in irish, the auld triangle and a tribute to a great clubman Mono. A lot of thought put into it.

Nice kit. All Bohs jerseys have been fantastic last few years....As for the Irish bit, doubt there's too many Gaeilgeoirs among the Bohs hardcore!!

[Jd2793]

huge upgrade on the monstrosity they brought out last year

[culloty82]

With the Pop-Up Gaeltachts and such, Irish is more visible in Dublin than would have been the case previously, even if it wouldn't be associated per se with the LoI.

If you are Irish you are Irish and we learned it in school. How far we took it, well that was a personal choice, but I think even the dumbest f*#ker would know a Bohs shirt and crest.

You'd be surprised at how many Irish speakers there are n Dublin these days. It's by-far got the most Irish speakers of any town or city on the island. Partly for obvious reasons, but also due to the growth of gaelscoileanna. There are 2 I can think of within a short distance of Dalymount (Cholaiste Mhuire and Gaelscoil Áine), with a few more further north of there (in Ballymun, Artane).

Nice job that.

I would be critical of the quality of O'Neills kit sometimes, but they offer a degree of individualisation for club shirts that you just can't get with the likes of Addidas and Umbro. And they provide a high street retail outlet for clubs that otherwise wouldn't have their own presence, which must help around Christmas etc.

I'd be curious to know what kind of sales O'neills got from Bohs last year and Derry this year due to both being in the cup finals and bringing a load of fans along ? Surely they must be shiftng more stuff for LOI clubs like that these days than they are for a lot of GAA counties ?

[Martinho II]

Thats a class jersey from Bohs. On first glance it looks similar to two years ago but what do I know?

[ToberonaTornado]

Traditional white shirt for Dundalk next season followed by a red & black striped shirt and then a green shirt.
