I think you're dropping a hint I'm not catching but from the neck down so is the Carlow jersey, is it not? Well, Red Yellow & Green anyway

I would imagine Wexford & Carlow's shirts will clash too much and in the Leinster semi & one of us will be in away shirts. Ours is Purple and white rather than Purple and Gold, what's yours as a matter of interest? Looking forward to that game, it's great to see teams like ours competing for the Leinster final

(And yes I remember Kildare away last year, very nice shirt indeed)

Favourite - Limerick, Kildare, Down and Sligo. All simple in design but distinctive.
Least favourite - Donegal, Leitrim and Carlow.

Worst jersey for me was the Wexford 'wibbly wobbly wonder' look in 2004.

I like the Clare jersey personally. And Wexford's. Not a fan of the retro jerseys though.

Wibbly Wobbly Wonder - CLASS! Ha ha! I wasn't a fan of that jersey either but that's the funniest description of it I've heard

Wexford had a nice jersey a few years ago - mostly purple. Now its mostly yellow and doesn't look the best.
Best - Dublin, Cavan, Waterford
Worst - Donegal - they look like parrots!

Favourite: Down's new home jersey, player-fit to show my guns ;) Also like Fermanagh and Limericks jerseys because there kept plain and simple. The Dublin jersey looks good on, and the Kerry jersey is also a personal favourite of mine.

Worst: Wexford, i think its the horrible sponsor. And Carlow too, haven't a clue what's going on there with the mad colours all over the show.

Have to say I think Cavans is the nicest, and thats not me being biased, I just think the dark blue and navy looks well on the same shirt.

Limericks is nice as well, they kept it simple.

Not dying about Wexford's though.

When Carlow and Mayo met in the championship back in the forties they both turned up in red and green jerseys so Carlow stuck a yellow patch onto their jerseys and got on with the game and they've stuck with that jersey since.

"To be fair, and i may be a bit biased here but Galway's new football jersey is our nicest in years.

Hurling jersey isn't that bad aswell."

Would the football and hurling jerseys be the exact same or is galway different?

Best- Mayo's and monaghans jerseys are good. And i love westmeaths away green one.
Worst- either limerick or offaly's. Limericks looks too old and i hate the red sponsor in the middle of offalys.

Ahh hurlingguru, you ruined a great story from Chainsaw.

What about the rumour that it was actually star underage Tipperary hurler Boy George that selected Carlows colours while he was writing one of his best know songs with Pop greats Culture Club?!?
