Doesn't really make financial sense for most clubs to run shops not in their ground unless they can get a good deal on rent. What would make sense though would be deals with local sports shops or the likes of elverys just get the products in the eyes of consumers rather than them having to go out of their way to get it as is now.
Again, I'm not in-the-know, but I'd say rather than us getting a favourable deal, it probably makes sense for the centre to have something in the location as it's not your traditional SC unit. Instead it's in a area with a collection of open units that are partitioned in the centre of the SC. In truth it's a very favourable location in the SC and for people in that area of the city (it doesn't come close to suiting everyone). From that perspective it will certainly have less rent than your typical shop in there, probably a lot less. Less is relative though and this is the LOI where when there's a cost things often becomes unsustainable.Quote:

that st pats jersey they wore in their 1st preseason game is that their new home jersey?
It was a special edition jersey from last year, same home jersey as last year I think.Quote:

Nope, special edition jersey worn once last season vs Newcastle. Shame really as it’s a cracker, I’d like to see it used as a cup kit at least this season (might have been the plan for last season too in fairness but two away draws with clashing colours made that impossible). Could also be worn in games like Dundalk away given that the sleeves on both the home and away jerseys are both white now which the refs in the league can’t cope with for some reasonQuote:

confusing or what?
No mention here today about the launch of the new Bohs home shirt that is a lovely shirt imo.
Prob be ruined a bit when the LoI and UEFA stuff gets added though. :(

A lot of sponsor logos ruin nice shirts but the Mr Green logo being slanted makes the jerseys look like they moved during printing. Nothing Bohs can do but it never looks right.
Be it Milan, Bohs or Longford, I've always thought a bit of white make the jerseys more appealing. I much prefer Milan's use of white shorts too. I never understood why Bohs/Longford never tried white shorts for a season. Way nicer and would make that club distinctive from the other one.
Actually a well put together shirt, vastly better quality than when we had O’Neills before. FAI etc badges won’t be in those sold ( although some moan about that).Quote:

A Bob Marley tatoo on the player forearm would be funny. Should have had a temporary one done to see what would happen lol
Or Johnny Logan 😁 (at least we wouldn’t get sued)Quote:

Not the best photo. Looks fairly simple but I usually prefer that anyway.Quote:

Given the history of the league, daily fire sales might have been considered too!
Is it not just last year's kit with a new sponsor?
Yes it is.

Drogheda jersey. I like the design, but wonder how it looks in real life.

I'm not a fan of changing a club's colours, even for a centenary special, but this one is an absolute beauty

Switch of traditional home / away colours just for the season. The black & red are the colours of the 'original' Drogheda United, a non-league team before the amalgamation with Drogheda F.C. in the 1970s.
That's quality. Not sure how I'd feel about changing colours if I were a Drogheda fan but as I'm not fair play.
Thats a properly cool jersey.
kudos
Was there a diagonal stripe shirt in the league before the Harps one a few years ago? They certainly seem to have caught in the last few seasons.
agree with above, nice strip.Never sure about a club changing colours though
seems to happen a lot now with cork city,wexford etc..Quote:

Close enough colours to be an interesting take for a Bohs shirt too and a bit of space there to have someones image printed...
dont. Go. There. ;)Quote:

We've been green fairly consistently since after the Dave Barry red spell. And it's in our club rules now.Quote:
