Its a bit Trump, slogan and design.

We've varied quite a lot down the years- originally all white, went towards more blue but still with occasional throwbacks that are more white. The year I started going we wore white at home and blue away- but even at that sometimes swapped those around.

It the 70s we wore cast off West Brom shirts for 2 full seasons!

FH also looked much better in Blue and White thick stripes v all blue, but again only my opinion.

We have the interesting tradition of having various patterns on our home jersey. Our first jersey was stripes but solid red used at the beginning too.
So we have had it all ... solid, stripes, pin stripes, broad stripes, hoops, quarters, raglan style, etc.

For that reason we've had some absolute beauties and gives us licence to throw in a more 'out there' design from time to time. Something I think the club should do more off.

Yee's must be due chequers soon enough - like Croatia or Drogheda.

Drogheda new kits: https://x.com/loipdnews/status/1993655797142917152?s=46

All really nice, particularly the home one

The blue one looks like a Rangers-Portsmouth mash up.

**Jack B** · 04/12/2025, 5:24 PM

A dreadful effort from Pats for this season. Somehow don't have a sponsor and it looks like a (bad) training top.

Continuing the Macron trend, Dundalk released H & A yesterday, no surprise to see a move from Playr-Fit, and also positive to hear payments are now been made, shocking really by the previous regime, a local company too, anyway hopefully they will be fully sorted.

I particularly like the away version.

+ even a video with the famous John Murphy 80 + and still doing live games on Dundalk FM, a league winner in 1963.

New Derry City top is pretty nice. Has a black collar, Free Derry Corner nod on the chevrons, and no big white square on the back.

The keeper top is class, IMO.

Didn't Newcastle West, later named Newcastle Utd (short life) wear Newcastle (Eng) tops at one stage, or at least did they contact them about it, vague memories of this in the early years of the newly created LOI FD that started in 1985/86, the Irish club didn't last too long in any case, max 3 of 4 seasons from memory.

HF Everton also had EFC top in that also short set up.

Tangent to the topic at hand, but as someone from Co.Limerick, it's like some sort of fever dream to realise NCW were EVER a LOI team. Nothing about the town gives 'soccer stronghold vibes', and their short lived lifespan proved that to be true.

We had a great quiz on the way down to Cobh on the train, last game of the 2025 season.

Name the 10 clubs who participated in the inaugural season of the FD in 1985/86, only 1 or 2 got it.

Drogs / Sligo / Shels / FH were relegated and joined by 6 others...................

Easy :

- Bray
- EMFA
- Newcastle West
- Derry
- Monaghan United.
- Cobh.

The classic error is people thinking Longford also joined that year. But they were actually the year before, alongside Cork City

**oriel** · 05/12/2025, 10:04 PM

Fair shout, I got that wrong, Longford then not Shels were relegated for the first season, I think Shels went down for the second season of the FD.

The crowds were fairly decent too if i recall those first few seasons, obviously boosted by 1000's of Derry away, but other clubs had a surge too from memory.

The biggest club in West Limerick though. There are plenty of clubs around the country that are big fish in a small pond that never go any further than that.
