It's well known that O'Neill brought red and white down to Cork for the Battle of Kinsale - before that the Cork men wore yellow!

Monaghan had kilkenny style black and amber up until 1945. I don't know why we changed. I would love to know why each county got the colours they have or had. I know the story behind Offaly but that's it.

Tipperary used to wear green and white until the 1920s I heard.

When Donegal won Ulster for the first time in 1972 they wore Gold jerseys with green shorts
Martinprince , you are correct about Donegals colours in 1989 but to state they have since gone all yellow, where were you in 2011, 2012,2013 and again this year when they were beating Tyroneso maybe it's good to be all yellow.
