New Kilkenny jersey

(Oldest Posts First) - Go To The Latest Post


Just interested to hear what people think of it?
Looks strange without the full stripes on the right shoulder.

Wouldn't be my cup of tea.

It annoys me when county jerseys mess around with the traditional designs too much. I didn't like the old Mayo jerseys that got rid of the hoop or the messing around with the Wexford design.

I guess it was inevitable they'd try something a bit different. They haven't messed with it too much, though.

That's more like it. Nothing wrong with change for the better.

Given that there is only so much redesigning you can do with stripes I think they made a fine job of it, I like it

Desperate. Why change something which puts shudders into half of the country when they see it!

It is a fairly benign change, nothing radical at all in it, always liked the KK colours/stripes very distinctive but this is still very much a KK jersey.

It's a lovely Jersey in fairness, now hopefully they have the top quality players to fill it.

I don't like the change. I prefer their classic look. Why change it anyway? Most successful hurling County so why change ANYTHING? Does anyone know WHY this even came up at all?

An abomination that spits on the face of history.Kilkenny are on a downward spiral. The design is shockingly bad. Black on one shoulder totally breaking up the stripes. The Kilkenny crest is totally overshadowed and that crest itself is Terrible.
Name one team in sport with stripes that have done this. Stripey clad teams from Sheffield United to deportiva la coruna must be wondering ; 'are we next'?.

I love it - The new Kerry Jersey is a real beauty also.

Really impressed with the way GAA jersey design is going. I look forward to seeing the new kits at the end of every year
