New Shirts / Kit 2016

**nigel-harps1954** · 16/12/2015, 1:58 PM

My favourite ever football jersey is the luminous Harps kit from 1998-2000. To say I'm a little bit envious of that Limerick jersey would be an understatement. That's a real thing of beauty.

I hate Hummel's chevrons. They're football shirts, not motorways.

I think the chevron style shoulders looks much better on the home kit than the away.

I don't know for sure but I know people that have bought one of each so will get a look at that and let ya know. I would imagine they will be as they are in the pics though usually its the exact same stuff sent for team and fans.

They were selling the blue jersey last night so it is he home kit for next year.

I reckon they will sell a bucket load of the luminous jerseys. A lot as long about them already.

Sponsorless?

Last night it certainly was but the club are hoping to have a shirt sponsor this year. Failing that it will probably be Greenheat.

Fantastic quality from CX Sport.

Love the "Pride of Oriel" detail aswell.

**Nesta99** · 17/12/2015, 8:11 PM

I see on Orielweb that 5 new jobs were created by CX+ due to the new kit deal with Dundalk FC. Nice little additional benefit to the link up with a local company!

I would expect the senior home and away jerseys to be as per their respective U19 photos here, just with the addition of sleeve badges, player names on back, and hopefully some sponsors!

Self-enforced foot.ie ban, but I thought I should end the kit speculation with a suitably vague response.

Do Umbro give a damn. Could they try any less than this?

**outspoken** · 18/12/2015, 8:49 PM

Last years pats jersey was so much nicer

**Titan** · 18/12/2015, 9:22 PM

It's really very poor. Like a training jersey. In fact very similar to a training top Umbro had a couple of years ago

**Jofspring** · 18/12/2015, 10:40 PM

It looks very junior soccer to me.

**Dunny** · 19/12/2015, 3:18 AM

Is that Pats top pink or red :/

Clunge. Pat's usually have a decent shirt, thought it was a Shels jersey initially.

**nigel-harps1954** · 19/12/2015, 7:52 AM

That really is very poor. Like the sort of crap Man United training kits they used to produce.

**D24Saint** · 19/12/2015, 10:18 AM

Haven't seen it up close so can't give my final verdict yet, the red arms are very different it's the first shirt in my memory without white arms.Ive been disillusioned with Umbro for a long time now, the quality of their other merchandise ie tracksuits etc is absolutely rubbish.

**Yossarian** · 19/12/2015, 11:11 AM

It's always hard to tell the quality from a picture but the design isn't great at all. It just doesn't look like a Pats jersey with the red sleeves. Looking at that design, I'm glad we've moved away from Umbro.
