New Shirts / Kit 2016

Greg Bolger modelling the new Cork City away shirt. Almost.

Delighted your so interested in our new away kit and not your own.

Dundalk almost certainly changing from Umbro for 2016, details of the new supplier and kit should be announced next month. I think they have been with Umbro since 2006.

We are sadly sticking with Umbro who are dishing out awful quality merchandise imo, the generic designed home shirt for 16 is due pre Christmas.

I believe Dundalk are going with a local supplier, Horseware, under their sports brand CX Sport. They have been supplying stuff this season for the shop so it'll be interesting to see what kind of design they come up with for the kit.
It'll be good to have a local company involved and I just hope they are better than Umbro at supplying sufficient quantities of merchandise.

Supporting a local company is a good idea. We should get something original too.

I am fed up of teams having the same kit. Cork and Bray having the same shirt was a joke and made the league look amateur.

Lol, i can think of a hundred things that need to be improved in the LOI before bloody kits. i wouldn't get too wound up about a piece of cloth White Horse.

He's not getting wound up. In a thread on new kits, he's pointing out that 2 teams wearing the same kit is ****e. There's no argument against this

Pats are due a stinker. Haven't had a bad home kit in over a decade now

I actually thought the Bray one was lovely until I realised that Cork were in the same kit

I'd say some on here are easily led.

Interesting to see what Shamrock Rovers have as a kit supplier next year. Warrior now defunct (hehe great word). Can't see it being New Balance as they have Celtic. Back to Umbro? Well I say interesting but it's probably only me that finds it interesting😄

Town's new home kit to be released in the next week or 2. Didn't like the pictures I've seen so far but sometimes you need to see the kit in person for it to grow on you hopefully it's one of those. Last years home kit will be hard beat tbh. Not a fan of macron gear in general though it falls to sh1te after a while.

Limerick are supposed to be going with Hummel next season. Our under 19s & 17s were wearing it this season. Cracking gear if we go with it. It'll defo be a big seller down here if we do.

Do Top Lion now have the NB rights here?

EDIT; just checked, they do

Slightly concerned about this, I hope it works out and Horseware produce something decent. Their horse blankets and jodhpurs are world class I'm sure, but I'd rather a proven specialist provider/manufacturer. That said, Umbro/Top Lion just haven't been able to meet our demands and that must be incredibly frustrating for the owners, we could have shipped a ton of jerseys in the last few weeks of the season and in the days leading up to the final

MOD EDIT: Removed the religious reference. No idea why it was felt to be necessary.

Yep They have a brand called BLK as well. So assuming the contract is with Top Lion (which is a fairly safe assumption) it will be one of NB, Umbro or BLK.

Their Rugby gear was good so should be a decent indication of what they can do.

Yes, New Balance. Will be revealed this day next week apparently.

Rovers released a 'teaser' for their new kit today.

Looks like Rovers are going for green and white hoops.
