Perhaps appropriately for a rural club, Kerry are having their pre-Christmas jersey reveal on the 8th of December:

Presumably 'They shall not pass' is a comment about the players.Quote:

I think we had an Adidas kit in the 90s didn't we? Black stripes on the shoulders of a red shirt? I think I remember wearing it for the u14s a year or two after!Quote:

Fake news.Quote:

The huge white patch on the back really lets it down, IMO.Quote:

Any team I can think of with red and white stripes have a similar solution. With red + black you can put white numbers on and it will be plenty visible but black numbers on red and white are a lot less visible. Could always go with outlined numbers? Black number with a white outline but that may be a bit of a pain for the kit person or whoever has to apply the numbers to the jersey. Or put the number on a panel and apply that panel to players jerseys? I know Bohs had to do that in the European games in late 00's or early 10'sQuote:

Stripes make it hard to properly see shirt numbers though. Must be tricky for commentators who aren't all that familiar with the players.Quote:

That's really nice
Oh wouldn't be a fan of that on the back of a jersey, I get wanting to tie in to county loyalties and in an area of the country like Kerry it will certainly play well but I think it just looks like a weird blob on the jersey.Quote:

I'm not a fan of the slogan. It's a nod to the Ultras I suppose. What was the influence behind the slogan? It's not like Drogheda United were kept scoreless or anything.Quote:

"They shall not pass" is a slogan, most notably used by France in World War I, to express a determination to defend a position against an enemy. It was also used during the Spanish Civil War by the Republican faction."Quote:

Kerry actually took the lead after about 40 minutes, before Galway scored just before half time. The slogan and tifo were a hit, despite Kerry's woeful defending!
It's going down well with virtually all Waterford supporters anyway, the logo part was overhauled which was badly needed, looked awful on last seasons kit.
Is there a picture of Waterfords new kit boys?Quote:

Seen the new St Pats home jersey imo think its a nice jersey but close friend thinks the yellow makes it worse!
I like it. Anything was going to be an improvement on the collar/neck on last seasons’ which I hated. The jersey sold out in a couple of hours too so it appears to be popularQuote:

Re: Drogs new strip:
Yikes! Looks like a window laminate in school jax that kids have scraped off with biros over the years ;-) Apart from that though ...
