Dublin’s new jersey is a bold break from the norm

Daring design

It will be interesting to hear what the old-school brigade, and fans of the colour navy, make of this.

Dublin have released their new 2016 jersey, which will be worn by all men’s and ladies’ teams this summer.

Just about all traces of navy have been eradicated from the jersey itself, with white stripes, collar and sleeve accents. There is minimal navy piping down the torso.

Shorts remain navy and there is no glimpse of the socks yet [that should come later this morning] but expect a similar light blue and white mix.

Part of the O’Neill’s blurb reads:

‘The collar sees a contrast from previous kits boldly boasting a fine white colour pallet instead of navy. The back of the kit features a charming inclusion of Gaelic with the words “Áth Cliath” embroidered above 3 shortened stripes.’

To remind you of last season’s number, we asked Diarmuid Connolly to strike a pose.

We expect to hear the players’ thoughts on the new kit at an official launch at Parnell Park, later today.

Let us know what you make of the kit via Twitter, Facebook or Snapchat.
