Thats the one, couldn't find the email mr.f sent me. Still reckon we could have gotten "that jersey" for you Aidan :p

Maybe Bohs are chasing the gay football fans with the jersey and all the pink seats in Dalymount
Interesting bearing in mind Top Lion allegedly told us we couldn't have candystripes this year and would have to make do with a re-badged England home jersey.....
Our new O'Neills shirt looks good but well aware of the problems Cork and others have had with them in the past.

My team have been wearing hummel kits for past two seasons and I have liked what we got.

On this season's kits the sponsor logo is better quality and the logos are stitched on. The training kits are not bad either.
Cant see ours changing much apart from maybe the Umbro sign moving to the upper shoulder to the newer design!
Fair enough. I suppose there was always someone who was going to take the opposite view to me. It wouldn't be Foot.ie if everyone was in agreement about something :D
As far as I know, we're not changing. It'd be a bit of a p1ss take if they were to change it after one season. There were rumours that the away jersey was going to be pink. The hairy one apparently said that it would be in honour of the Juve jersey (I think). Personally, I think it would be so that he doesn't feel such a fool when he wears his pink polo shirt!!
*checks ten years of Brighton shirts*
Made in Italy, Made in Italy, Made in Italy....
Errea do make good quality stuff - I just doubt that what they sell to sunday league teams (as someone mentioned) is from the same stock.... should point out that the Albion are sponsored directly by Errea - believe they were the first FL club to use them - so theres no rebranding or anything going on.
So it says on the tag MADE in Italy? Not designed in Italy? The only things on that shirt made in Italy is the Made in Italy tag!
Seriously though they probably are made in Italy most cmpanies like Ereea have small manufacturing facilities at their headquarters where they will do some manufacturing. At Diadoras hq in Treviso they used to handmake Roy Keanes boots!
Just because nobody's linked to it yet:

The link probably tells you all you need to know TBH!
Nice quote:
Jonathan Courtenay of Umbro commented, "We at Umbro Ireland are dedicated to supporting football in this country"
This is the same **** who bought Carlisle and got them relegated.
were satyin with uhlsport but are changein the design, not on sale untill end of january, so im lead to believe, ill try and get the design
Nike bought Umbro over last month. The Umbro double diamond logo will continue to be used for the next few years at least.
Ok Attention all Bohs and or Longford Fans. I have long held the view that in order to make your clubs more attractive to potential supporters that either of your clubs should have considered getting your gear made by the same company as A.C. Milan all that would need to change is the badge. Likewise for Athlone I have felt you should do the same with Inter Milan.
Don Revie back in the 1960's wanted Leeds to be successful so he got them to wear the same colours as then 5 in a row European Cup winning side Real Madrid hence the all white. Athlone , Longford and Bohs could take a leaf out of that book by getting their kits made by the same company as A.C. Milan ( Bohs, Longford) and Inter Milan (Athlone Town) respectively. If the jerseys sold for less than the price of their Serie A counterparts and looked good, there might be a few Euros in it for the club coffers at worst. At best you might get a few more fans. Couldn't hurt could it?
Obviously Bohs are going to pocket a few quid from this deal, but it's a sore one to take for those fans who have shelled out good money for the diadora stuff. I paid full whack for a training top and shorts weeks ago and now they will be out of date... disappointing.
Diadora didn't do much merchandise for us. Unfortunate but at teh end of the day who cares. Its no big deal being up to date, this years shirt was the first one I bought in years because it wasn't O'Neills.
Just after looking at umbro ireland website and saw down the bottom of the page the irish clubs.
Drogheda and Sligo are both there.
Have they signed?
B&W Picture of Cork City wearing hummel gear in the friendly v Cobh in today's examiner.
Not sure if it's the Cup final gear which is supposed to be launched Thursday but jersey seemed to white with the distinctive hummel V's running down the arms. Shorts were light coloured.
whats with the feel the difference writen on the back of the shorts, is it the difference between a poo and a fart, or what,
jersey looks good, but i must say i dont like that crest, i know it to distinguse it as cork city, and its very distingusable, but in the wrong way,
Sporting Fingal going with O'Neills, or so I've been told.
We were with O'Neills last season and there was hassle getting gear
in so not sure if they are sticking with them or going back to Errea.
Incidently the current O'Neills rep we deal with was a rep with Errea
when we had them.

In terms of getting jerseys available for sale O'Neills are a nightmare. Second season in a row we didn't get our jerseys for sale until May/June, after originally being told early April. Sizes are ridiculous too- a medium mens would be XL in most other brands.
Our team would get it without problem, it's getting the jerseys to sell to the public which is usually the problem.
O'Neills in Dublin is in Walkinstown so it's only a trip across the southside to us.
Umbro were very poor with merchandise for Kildare County last season. Think masita will be making the kit this year.
The feel the difference line is part of a sponsorship with Leisureworld gym/pool in Bishopstown.
I presume the idea is that since City players work out at Leisureworld you can "feel the difference" in that particular part of their anatomy:o. It was on this seasons shorts as well.
BTW a colour picture of that gear in the County section of the Examiner today and it does look good. All white with green trim.
hope we wear white jerseys on Sunday.We wore them when we won the league in the RDS in 93 and when we won the Cup in 1998.
Probably a bad sign that we're looking for omens in the shirt colour! Anyway I heard the shirt will be green on Sunday.
Monaghan United are staying with the same Kit as last season. Which is great coz I think it is the prettiest we have had in years! :D
It also means that the local press can keep using the picture of my sister, her friend and Mick Cooke!
True that, O'Neills shirts are a joke when it come so sizes. I have a medium one from 3-4 years ago and it still doesnt fit. Also they seem really out of proportion or something, the sleeves are huge and really wide compared to the body.
Glad to see the back of them, hated O'Neills.
Was delighted when we switched to errea, then diadora, and finally umbro. I always hated the GAA feel and look to the O'Neills jerseys - with the exception of our Blackburn-inspired white/black shirt in 1993/94. The current Cliftonville shirt, for example, just looks like a gaelic jersey, awful.
