Just spotted this on Wrexham's website >

http://www.wrexhamafc.co.uk/today/view/page/0,,10311,00.html

They are giving the supporters the chance to vote for their preference for new home and away jerseys.

I heard Le Coq are coming up with a new 'away' jersey for Cork City to replace the current white one. Any chance they (and CCFC) could get the supporters involved in the choice process?

lennox says CITY will be playing in a new home jersey and it will b white with green & red trim,just like the old days. thats why last seasons home shirt is only 20 euros in town.

I hope not. i really liked the change to "the blood and bandage" red jersey as the home one

i'd rather steer clear of the red jersey. It makes us look too much like shels and st. pats.

Yeah, I think people associate a red jersey with city and all things Cork. We'd best stick with red for now.

The club should definitely stick with RED - it's just a Cork thing. How about modelling the new away jersey on the very same design as the old home jersey we wore against Bayern back in 1991 with the wavy strip!!

I took well over a year to get the "new" home jersey last year & not they want to go & change it again. :rolleyes:

Hows about just cahnge the away jersey to predominatly white with a good dash or green 'n red?

Red is cork gaa.
Green & White is Cork soccer traditionally, hibs, celtic etc.
Green, White and Red is Cork City. there is feck all red in the early days of city jerseys.

Green, White and Red is Cork City.

I agree but current jersey is good too. I knoe Noelle tried to add a bit of green to the trim but think she was a bit oo sparing with it.

Bit of deja vu here but Pjamas jersey probably best though ;)

The red one is rocking but regularly mistaken for a Liverpool shirt here in Dubland. I think they should keep all jerseys for at least two seasons and not end up like SCUM UTD changing jerseys every season.

There is an argument for getting a new jersey for a new era and all that but it smacks of money grabbing to me...

Sure unless you buy your jersey at the club shop the club surely won't make a penny on it?

I can't see le coq giving city a cut of every city jersey they sell.

Current home jersey is at least made with materials unlike the previous red 'shiny' home shirt.

Sounds like it's the time and opportunity for a poll!

This is typical ignorance - United do not change their shirts every season - every home shirt has a two year run. However as this was Umbro's last contracted season, the current away shirt would only run for the one season - but it's reversible nature made it the best value shirt ever. Most clubs change shirts a lot more regularly than United - Liverpool had about five on the go this season. The GAA counties change every year almost without notice.

But we dont change our strip every year, we change it every 2 years (which is about right IMO) and we change the away strip every 2 years aswell so theres something new to get every Xmas :)

it smacks of money grabbing to me...
Money grabbing or raising funds for the club??? :confused:

Am I right in saying that Cork County GAA have had a different jursy every year for the last 3 years (including this year)?:confused: :mad: :o

Spot on - if not four - I remember paying full price for a Cork GAA shirt four or five days before the team lined out for a championship game in a brand new shirt - yet if a soccer club did this there would have been war in the media

It would be a disgrace if City were to change their home gear again after only having it three quarters of a season. (Not just because I paid £40 for it)

Red and white with green trimmings are the best colours in my opinion, as more potential fans would relate better to the traditional "blood and bandage".

The away gear then should be like the original City one, white jersey, green shorts and red trim. Wouldn't this keep everyone happy?
