So us, Sligo, Bray, Shams and one of Bohs or Pats?Quote:

Said no one ever.Quote:

Given the financial state of some of the clubs, Irish Football needs every penny it can get.
And it's the Gypos.
Volkswagen overtake Airtricity as largest sponsors in the league with the Bohs deal.
And that pun was totally intended.
Bohs now with a VW dealer.
HEIL!!

Looks very Serie A circa 1993
Who's that, Lopes and... McEvoy?
Yep..
Our last white away (which I also have) with the red and black "V" also had that serie a look about it. Like the collar on this though.
The away jersey looks like a german clubs jersey!
The fooking size of the airtricity logo...:0
Karmann is an absolutely brilliant name for an auto dealer.
I suppose they're paying for it. :-P
Karmann were a were a coachbuilder in Germany. They were responsible for the first vw bus.Quote:

Shels and Sligo kits are way too alike.
A couple of things I noticed

This is why teams have away kits.
I like the Shels (cant really see Sligos properly) and UCD jerseys best out of that bunch. Very smart jerseys.
Dislike Dundalks and Derrys. Detest Limericks & the one that looks like the Mayor of Cork wearing his full regalia...
The rest, including ours, are fairly meh.
Limerick's is the same template as ours.Quote:

Seems a bit strange that the club didn't plump for a totally new template given that it's different to last years shirt in such a minor detail.
Because they're all sponsored by VW?Quote:

yes but i clarified that i thought i was looking at Shels but it was Sligo's.
Now you are getting confusing skstu. Shels, Limerick and Sligo are pretty much the exact same jersey. The only difference in Shels and limerick is colour and there is no difference look wise barr manufacturer between Shels and Sligo, both red, both white collar, both white at the end of sleeves and both with VW on them.
