I support Kidare GAA as well - dad was from there. Always thought Kildare are the West Ham (favourite English club) of Gaelic football - y'know, nice to look at but win fcuk all.

Westmeaths away jersey is white with maroon trim, but they also had a
green kit which was fairly cool but I only remember them wearing it during trail
games - Westmeath Maroons v Westmeath Greens!

As far as I can remember, although I could be wrong, Longford brought out
the blue and yellow away kit for the cup final against Bohs
(lost 1-0 Toccy scored) to try and generate support among the GAA followers
as its the county GAA colours.

They used to have a green and white away kit many moons ago, sponsored
by a place in Athlone!!!!!!
(Im assured that the current sponsors arent our branch of Flancare!)

I've seen Johnny Doyle up close in Sallins one night. If ever an eyebrow raiser was invented for one man...... any camogie teams take my fancy Hamish, either that or the Russian U/19 soccer team.

any chance UCD might change their strip to a giant condom?

It kind of signifies what students get up to these days.

Thank God, I thought I was the only person who realised how utterly ridiculous the colour clashing situtation is in GAA. Basically, the reason most counties don't change is because they think it would be seen as a sign of weakness to change from their normal colours, totally overlooking the fact that the only reason teams have colours is so as to distinguish them. In the programme at the Cork/Galway Kerry/Mayo matches, there was a picture of a Cork and Galway league game from 03 where Galway wore white and pictures of last years AI final where Mayo wore red against Kerry, yet nobody seemed to find anything odd in the fact that both games were colour clashes. I have written to the GAA on this subject, and they didn't seem to see any problem, saying that when clashes arise they are dealt with. I just find it amazing that Kerry and Mayo have the same jerseys this year as they did last year yet last year it was considered a clash but this year it wasn't. Another stupid one this summer was Armagh v Derry, where Armagh had their normal reddish orange and white shorts while Derry had all red with a white hoop, yet in Derry's subsequent games they wore white with a red hoop.
