Wexford GAA are renowned for being trend-setters – when it comes to jerseys at least.
Their royal purple mixed with yellow might frighten the more timid manufacturer but not in the Model County. Not on your nelly.
For years – particularly in the modern era – it has been the arse of the island – a fine arse at that – that’s produced some of the most ballsy designs sported on the inter-county scene.
Back in their last All-Ireland success in 1996, they were ahead of their time.
They bucked the trend with The Great Polyester Takeover at the turn of the century.
Who could forget the blending colours fad?
And their most recent kit was agreeable too.
Even the yellow away jersey wasn’t horrific.
Now, whilst these kits might all look automatically better with Lee Chin’s triceps hanging out of them, they’re still fine in their own merit too.
The county’s new geansaí is even tastier than the last.
In their first game of the new season under football manager Seamus McEnaney, Wexford sported the new-look outfit. It isn’t yet available to the public – O’Neill’s have promised us that it will be available in the coming days/weeks – but Niall Kennedy got a snap of them after the county’s three-point league win over Limerick on Sunday.
Tidy, simple, elegant.
Enough to lift them much higher than 31 in the 2017 jersey ranking league.
