You can get a 'bespoke' design, but you have to guarantee a minimum order, and most clubs simply don't have the cash flow, or back up funds, to guarantee selling that amount of shirts. We're small fish unfortunately.
I love the jersey. It's a shame both clubs boards looked at the options and picked the same one, but I guess both thought it was the nicest! Slightly different shades of green but not really noticeable.
Don't see it mattering a huge amount, but odd nonetheless.

Buttimer will undoubtedly decide that Cork's home strip clashes with Bray's away and vice versa, meaning the only sensible solution is for both to play in their home kits.Quote:

Not really noticeable............I think you'll find, its the exact same jersey, only difference is the sponsor.Quote:

Kit would have been chosen a good while ago I'd imagine, before Bray revealed theirs. Even at that, the catalogue you chose from is limited so this sort of thing will become more common if clubs start buying from retailers. I prefer the idea of an original non-catalogue design. But it was obviously the best financial option for the club and the jersey will sell for sure. The away jersey was sold out at Xmas despite the poor reception.
And theirs is from a catalogue too. Aidan Price's company is the distributorQuote:

Hang on, both Sligo and Derry independently came up with the same shirt?Quote:

QPR wear kits that are from the same catalogue as bray/cork/drogheda/athlone/cobh
So do most clubs that wear Nike. It's only the really big Nike clubs who get completely bespoke kits.
Err clubs don't generally design their own kits!Quote:

Bottom: here's the catalogue. Knock yourself out. (Everyone else)
They're hardly bespoke then, are they?
Not catalogue shirts either though. So they fit into tier 2.Quote:

Doesn't feel like the real cork in green. I also noticed a trend of supporters who had an interest in gaa and soccer in cork would buy the red city jersey and wear it in pairc ui caoimh or thurles as it was a bit " cool " and recognisable as cork straight away. Don't think it was a huge floating market or anything but you don't see that customer buying the green kits.
