Galway and Kildare’s new GAA jerseys are dividing opinion

Why tamper with a classic they say.

Kildare's nickname is the Lilywhites, and befitting of a county with that moniker they normally feature in nothing but the most 'Daz-tastic' white you can imagine. But even with such a limited palette of colours to work with, the county's jersey for 2015 was a decent design with the arms featuring a splash of colour. It was a bit of a fans favourite with it's black and crimson stripes on the sleeves and the torso making it stand out on the pitch. https://twitter.com/orlab744/status/630164538361544705 So if you are going to change something that works, we normally hope for an improvement. But sadly in our mind at least, the 2016 strip is very very unimaginative https://twitter.com/kildare_fans/status/672898250689654785 It's a very plain white effort that has divided opinion among Kildare GAA fans https://twitter.com/conorjimmykelly/status/672873370078355456?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw https://twitter.com/pcsportandpromo/status/672852312931610624 https://twitter.com/crikekenny/status/672856559156903936 But other fans liked the new very plain design https://twitter.com/cilldaratimes/status/672926198855540736 https://twitter.com/dean_carthy97/status/673134521873793024 Elsewhere Galway also launched a new jersey last night and the major change is to the collar from the 2015 version. The 2016 incarnation has dispensed with the collar and instead is a streamlined version with what looks like pinstripes down the middle https://twitter.com/TribesmenGAA/status/672877809665208321 And much like it's Kildare counterpart, fashion really is a matter of taste https://twitter.com/KatelynNicAoidh/status/672897285894877184 https://twitter.com/Fiona1503/status/672883887702466561
