The GAA will no longer allow league or championship-winning hurlers or footballers receive their medals unless they're wearing their own team's colours. In recent years, players have tended to swap jerseys after finals but now they will only be allowed to do a swap once the presentation ceremony is completed as GAA President Nickey Brennan explained: "One thing that was annoying when a team had won a game was when some players went up to the presentation area wearing the opposition's jerseys," said Brennan. "It's particularly embarrassing if a sponsor has gone to the bother of putting up the bucks for a team and then seeing the opposition on the podium when the trophy is being presented - and it's happened."
