in some ways thats a different point and understandable. interesting point would be do you when they became widely available in shops? was it with the introduction of sponsorship?

Wicklow jersey is definitely the best

I reckon it goes back further than 15 years onlyhurling, more like 20-25 but in response to your point, the jerseys are much more readily available and marketed today than in the last 15 to 20 years.

And I for one, welcome that, I love wearing my colours to games and seeing the masses do the same

yeh i've seen them play in the white as well so not totally sure which is the second strip. Funny cos the minute i saw the all purple i was wondering where i could get one. best bet would probably be to hop into sportsavers as theyre the sponsors

think sponsorship came in early 90s so since then theyve definitely been more available

It's a pity they didn't shove them in your mouth and shut you up for once Blues boy, would have been worth it

God help you when Tipp are defeated later on in the Summer

Cheers Derry, much obliged!!

Good luck against Armagh

Carlow's will always be the worst

I always liked the Tipp jersey (before the Skoda sponsor, they don't look that good now), as they are quite similar to my own club jerseys. The Cavan one is always nice, pity we have no decent footballers to fill it. Waterford always have a decent jersey. The new Limerick ones are horrible, just way too plain, and I normally like their green jersey. The azzurri/gaelic gear jersey are always bad for some reason, they just don't have the design that O'Neills have. Fermanaghs a few years ago was not nice at all.

Some of the nicest jersey out there are club one. the NYPD from about 5 years ago was awesome. And there is also a club one (I cannot for the life of me remember who it is, one of the lads on our hurling team has it, I'll come back when I get the name of it) and it is black with a red trim and very thin red stripe across the chest. It was just deadly.

Remember that hideous yoke of an effort we had in 2003-2004 lads? With the colours running into one another. Absolutely awful thing. Couldnt wait till we got rid of it!

Best: Kildare, Cavan, Sligo, Louth and Roscommon

Worst: Carlow, Leitrim, Donegal, Clare, Wexford

how can i foget i'm still wearing it to every match hence the need for an update. for some reason the jerseys the team had seemed okish - as in it was a deep purple direct into the yellow but the shop ones were a pinky purple and nearly went white where they met

1798man (Wexford) - Posts: 164 - 17/06/2011 12:16:39    958717

I still have one of them but in all honesty I don't wear it anymore

Funny when you look for a Wexford shirt on ebay, that jersey always crops up!

I don't know how it works in Wexford or any other county for that matter but when i purchase a county jersey for myself or a t-shirt for example i go to Derry's training complex where its a wee bit cheaper than sports shops and they have the odd one players have worn with number on back etc plus the money goes straight to the county board which in some way filters back into the team or promoting the game in the county.

I seen that on ebay as well, some lad expecting to make a tenner for it, good luck to him!!

I'm a Wexford man who lives in Dublin so I usually head down to the O Neills Factory Store near the Long Mile road. Jerseys (amongst a lot of other things, training shirts, goalie shirts, polo shirts etc) tend to be a bit cheaper there than in Elverys/Champions sports etc etc etc, excellent selection too
