why does the Limerick crest look so much like Leeds United's new one? Although I do like the new UCD one though, although the addition of 'Dublin' was a bit unececssary, even GAAH heads knows its in Dublin ... any new eL kits announced too? Trying to catch up for the new season, and quite hard to do that over here...

Basically cos we have the same kit manufacturers, Yes we care that much about tradition :o

Who manufactures Lims kit these days? Oh and Schumi, I actually reckon the new UCD crest looks vaguely like an Irish bank corporate logo..... also a 3 letter acronym...

nice enough design (even if its the latest adidas kit design on left side, typical O'Neills, cant make up their own design without ripping off others...), would have been a decent away kit, why did everyone vote for black though?

Wasn't designed by O'Neils one of the members with a background in this sort thing and Gareth farrelly did up 8 different designs and they were put to the vote dont know why they went for black. I like the shirt but it's just not bohs without the stripes

Umbro since the start of last season. That's when the new crest came in as well.

the jersey looks good but weird not seeing stripes on a bohs jersey. we had a white home jersey with a bit o' red on it in 2004 but it just wasn't right

The thinking behind the new Bohs jersey is that everyone already has at least 3 stripey jerseys, so it's hoped a different design will shift some serious units this season. Our deal with O'Neill's ends after this year so a new, improved quality kit will see the stripes back in 2007.

dont see the big deal over bohez and stripes.they have had a lot of non-striped jerseys over the years. they even made a very sensible decision in the 80's to wear Hoops

The most sensible decision we ever made was not taking the name 'rovers' back in 1890...far too common!:p

suppose nothing wrong with a bit of a change, not many eL clubs keep their traditional style these days. But I mean, why have Bray converted to all green instead of stripes, which were their original colours (or were they...), same with Cork as well and Harps changing their kit from blue to white. the only club i know of that has stayed constant would be Rovers and maybe Shels... it would be quite hard to keep up if your just a casual follower...

Buller see the thread on our board about the crest - http://www.aimoo.com/forum/postview.cfm?id=606830&CategoryID=362984&startcat=1&ThreadID=2441629

Karlsruhe Hoop has designed the definitive crest, this is it for all time.

Unlikely. Once you go black you never go back.

1899, couldnt care less what a 'certain group' at rovers think, it has until their statement claiming it was 1901 always been regarded as 1899, twas even painted on the gates of Glenmalure Park, that'll do me!

No. The nearest we have to an official historian is Jimmy Conroy. Jimmy says 1899 and has much more proof and a credible story than the 1901ers. And as far as I'm concerned it's always been 1899. The 1901 rubbish comes from one bloke in a pub who spoke to Robert Goggins when he was researching his book.

I swore I wasn't going to get involved in this but Dodge, if you really want the skinny on this, I'd recommend Eoghan Rice's book We Are Rovers. (It's not a book about me and my 1899 obsession. ;) )

I knw the situation, just wondering how many FDRs would answer me. I mean imagaine now knowing when you were founded. There's no way Delaney should let you into his club if you don't KNOW the basics...
