Cork City’s new jersey is downright gorgeous

YES

‘Tis the season.

One week out from the return of the Airtricity League and jerseys are piling up like never before. Well, like last year.

Forget about your transfers, your pre-season, your new coaches – this is where it’s at. This is where it matters.

And don’t they all look lovely ahead of 2017.

But the FAI Cup champions have gone and unveiled their green home strip for the season ahead and, well, it’s fit for kings.

With Aviva goal hero Sean Maguire modelling the shirt for the Leesiders, fans and neutrals are going to double take at Cork’s prime bit of pristine polyester.

It’s simple, it’s elegant, it’s fitted with a new sponsor.

But does it beat Finn Harps’ new retro-looking bad boy?

Speaking of retro. Never forget.

Looks like we’re going to have a better selection to choose from than last year.
