Both Dundalk kits look smashing. Is the away black or brown?
The home jersey is sort of how the Bray and Cork jerseys should have looked like last season, also a real nod to 'Escape to Victory'. Away kit is almost identical to an old Hull City jersey. Both cracking designs and look fabulous.
CX+ have made a bit of a statement of intent with the thought that has gone in to the designs. Certainly not off some generic template. Hopefully when we get our hands on the replicas the quality will match the design. Not been a bad day at all for DFC with Fyffes extending their sponsorship and a few signings and contract extensions thrown in to the mix!
Those are gorgeous.
Black and gold. It was the colours Dundalk first played in.Quote:

Also says division one champions instead of first division champions. Apart from that it's actual an unreal design, could've been brilliant only for the feck ups
If Elverys 'run' the merchandising shop do what little profits there maybe go to the club. A kind of rule of thumb of LoI jersey buying was to buy direct from a club if possible rather than from a sports store to try and give the club the benefit of the sale so was just wondering if there had been some arrangement with Elverys or whether the Galway need to organise some sort of club shop themselves.Quote:

It's just an image and not the jersey on a player.
Not the best image. Black with narrow gold strips. A nod back to the original black and gold Dundalk GNR shirt from the early 1900s.Quote:

The first image I saw made it look brown. Black makes more sense
(although it probably means black shorts and socks for home and away kits)
It was great to see the local business community gathered to launch the new kits yesterday.
Some fans were complaining that this was not a fan event, and while I understand their disappointment, this was an important event to further cement ties with local businesses and sponsors. If clubs are going to be successful, they need revenue streams beyond their supporters.
Also, to see three double winning Dundalk managers on the same stage was special.

Yes sorry I was still half asleep. Thanks.Quote:

A better version of the design.
Where did you see it? Is it still O'Neills?Quote:

Would have been nice to see an actual replica of the GNR shirt:
Bottom right of their wiki:

It was taken down from FB after a torrent of abuse from fans. It is truly terribleQuote:

Thanks. So looks like O'Neills again. Its actually not that bad design wise!
That's absolutely awful!
The bull is made up of players names, some spelt incorrectly and others (including Kevin Doyle) who never played for the club. The women's players are listed with the men, It is the men's jersey and it has Women's league and cup winners on the front. The crest is printed, not embroidered, The wine colour, crest and bull design are exact copies of the Torino crest, 9 bloody stars.... I could go on....
Mick Wallace takes this equality stuff very seriously. The bull even looks quite effeminate ;)
I always find it hard to judge a New Jersey by an image/cartoon like this, you'll need to see it in person or on a Player to know for certain, but defo better than that poxy yellow stuff yiz used to wearQuote:

As a side note, I commend them for their pink shirts. It's very unique for a club to wear pink in this part of the world and they've created a v distinctive identity for themselves in that sense.
Ha. I thought that was a horse.
Easy mistake to make. I actually mistook it for a horse at first glance too until i copped they're crest has a bull standing on it's hind legs. In fairness, that stance is much more likely to be made by horse. When does a bull ever stand upright on it's hind legs?? Lol, Just one more mistake to add to the list i suppose...Quote:

Well that's the whole point. If it was to be a combined jersey, I wouldn't have as much an issue with the ladies titles on it. However, the ladies have totally different sponsors in Energia and Maldron Hotels. This is the men's kit.Quote:

Thanks for clarifying! It's a bit nonsensical to have the women's names and achievements on the mens shirt all right. Yes they're the same club, but the mens team didn't contribute to the ladies success in any way, and vice-versa.Quote:

If i were a Youths fan though i'd be properly ****ed off coz i'd really want to buy the shirt for the first yr in the prem.Quote:

Kevin played for Mick's Wexford (County) Youths team. Half the stars on our crest relate to Mick's achievements with that side. There is an awful lot of blurring of lines at Ferrycarrig ParkQuote:

I still havent seen the Wexford Youths kit.. any decent links to it as the links on twitter dont give any clues?
Marty
Hopefully, I can provide a link here;
Am I the only one that thinks Dundalk's away shirt isn't that nice? Home one is nice though.
That Wexford one is woeful even without the mistakes on it. Horrible, emaciated bull/horse idea.
Literally two mins on the O'Neills kit creator yoke. I can't imagine how mad I'd be if I was a Youths supporter.

I'm sure anyone that told him the kit was atrocious only made him more determined and probably made it even worse.
Wow. It would be hard to summarise in just a couple of paragraphs just how unspeakably awful the Wexford jersey is.
Kit creator looks like fun.Quote:
