It didn't work for me. No matter. It's hideousness is there for all to see. :)

@Danny, I think it's something for O'Neills to flog to Paddys in the Great White North for P-Day. I think that's the height of it.

I think the Aussie one with UJ emblazoned on it is hideous-er.

I can't open Bonnie's link so I have no idea what this thread is about. The title kind of fits this though. I just came across the current Panathinaikos jersey and, although I remember Ardal O'Hanlon confirming they have no Irish link at all, it is fantastically Irish looking. According to Wikipedia there might be one slightly loose and dubious semi-Irish connection though.

He used to have it sewn on his shirt since he was competing for a club in his native Chalcedon, Constantinople. Papazoglou was possibly inspired by Billy Sherring, an Irish Canadian athlete who had won the Athens 1906 Olympic marathon wearing a white outfit with a big green shamrock on the chest.

Always wanted to pick up a Pana shirt especially since they changed the badge to just the shamrock. But they have had such a hideous sponsor I have never been able to bring myself to get one.

They were never for sale without the sponsor. They were just launched at the time without. Believe me, I tried to get one.
