Junior clubs like Westport, Castlebar & Ballina have good styled jersey designs.
The red & green are very intense bright colours, so a strip design needs to use the colours with some thought for its look!

The old fashion advice is 'red and green should never be seen' :D

They're basically Christmas colours.

Not a fan of that. They should major on the green, and then just have a small amount of red.

This suggests they added red between 2016 and 2017.

Fact is, if you want Intermediate football of a good standard, with competitive leagues comprising strong clubs who could reasonably aspire to Senior status, you build the Intermediate leagues where the clubs are, not in areas where the clubs aren't!

Which means that initially at least, Intermediate football would be heavily concentrated around Dublin/Greater Dublin/East Coast etc, with a few other centres in Cork and Munster etc. Then when these are established, you look to take advantage of a "ripple effect" and expand outwards, to the strongest clubs in the more poorly served areas. Note that this is the exact opposite of the current LOI/FAI experiment, where they are in danger of "casting their seed on stony ground" - literally in the case of Mayo! - first, with new under-age clubs like Kerry FC and Mayo FC, while neglecting to do much for the leading adult clubs outside the LOI set-up, who are located in already popular footballing areas.

I guess if there was an incentive to join an Intermediate League clubs would do it - so as you say if the FAI just announced that to enter senior League of Ireland you had to be promoted via a "Senior League" it wouldn't be long before a Connacht/Ulster one was established and clubs from outside Cork would join the MSL.

Er, don't you mean: "Blue and Green should never be seen, without a colour in between"? (Google it).

Anyhow, there is nothing wrong with Red and Green, so long as it goes with Black:

This is what the BBC says in Are there really 'rules' to what to wear? - BBC News :

"Then there is red and green which "should only be seen upon an Irish queen" and "never be seen without a colour in between", according to traditional sayings."Often these rules come from how similar in tone and hue the colours are supposed to be," says Butchart. "

The red and green thing is because wearers look like one of Santa's helpers or a Christmas tree in those colours. Blue and greeen is actually fairly common - including in a number of N.Ireland jersies in recent years.
