Thanks. So looks like O'Neills again. Its actually not that bad design wise!

**nigel-harps1954** · 09/12/2015, 1:06 PM

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 wear

Are they planning to use the same kit design for both the mens and womens teams perhaps?? Obviously the sizes and shapes would be different but might explain the references to both the womens and mens players/successes on the shirt...

Also, what do Wexford fans think about this bull logo and now the bull on the shirt? I've always thought it was v unusual how they've just adopted Torino's bull symbol even though it has no link to Wexford (apart from the fact that Mick Wallace might support them).

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...

I know Elverys are one of the sponsors on the shirt. I'm not sure how it works tbh. Some of the Galway lads on here might have a better idea.
But it's ridiculous that the majority of clubs will have their new shirts out for christmas but we'll be lucky to have ours available by March/April, If last season is anything to go by.

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.

Fans were opposed to the pink to begin with, but we got used to it and it is now our unique identity. However, this is one step too far. I'm told Mick designed it personally and history tells us that his decisions are not up for debate

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.

I guess you'll just have to suck it up so. it wouldn't be the first time an owner/chairman made a decision that ****ed off fans. When someone has given so much to a club like Mick tho maybe he's entitled to put his own stamp on the club at times. 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.

Putting Kevin Doyle's name on it though... I just can't stop laughing at that!

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 Park

Dya never watch Bullseye as a youngster?....

By Wexford Youths precedence of mixing the mens and ladies achievements Dundalk FC now have 11 League titles and 11 Senior cups!

**oldyouth** · 09/12/2015, 6:15 PM

Forgot to add it says Division One Champions 2015 under the crest instead of 1st Division Champions

**Martinho II** · 09/12/2015, 8:31 PM

I still havent seen the Wexford Youths kit.. any decent links to it as the links on twitter dont give any clues?

**ForzaForth** · 09/12/2015, 8:52 PM

Marty

Hopefully, I can provide a link here;

**osarusan** · 09/12/2015, 8:59 PM

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.
