In the words of Father Ted, look at all the lovely jerseys.
There’s at least 13 genuinely glorious pieces of kit that anyone would be lucky to have in this collection. Yep, the goalkeeper jersey range is where it’s at this summer.
Granted you might have to go outside of Ireland to find the GAA’s tastiest goalkeeper jersey, but there are still some gems to be found in the All-Ireland football and hurling championships this season.
Here are the best and worst of them.

32. Down
Must try harder.
31. Fermanagh
Not the worst thing in the world. But, then again, the worst thing in the world is f**king horrible.
30. Meath
Would make a good kit for a summer camp steward.
29. Leitrim
Some say that, if you look too long, you can develop glaucoma.
This is unproven as of yet.
28. Clare
Looks like a toy truck.
27. Longford
As yellow jerseys go, this isn’t offensive.
26. Louth
Uninspiring.
25. Cork
Eaten by a GAA sock.
24. Limerick
The finest Limerick jersey there’s been in a while. And that’s saying… nothing.
23. Mayo
Three kits for the price of one.
22. Kilkenny
Unfinished paint job. Would’ve been pristine otherwise.
21. Monaghan
I mean, it’s grand.
20. Derry
They start to get pretty good at this stage.
19. Tipperary
Nice jersey, if very indecisive.
18. Offaly
Finally, an Offaly jersey we can get on board with.
17. Westmeath
Green or maroon stripes, it works.
16. Armagh
The Ulster boys get very competitive now.
15. Antrim
Something to celebrate for once.
14. Cavan
Yes.
13. Kerry
Fierce.
12. Wicklow
Weird, luminous colour and it isn’t horrendous. Deserves a medal for that. A goalkeeper jersey medal.
11. Donegal
A cheeky little devil of a shirt.
10. Carlow
Carlow without the green, yellow and red stripes. What’s not to love?
9. Laois
Clean.
8. Roscommon
Royal blue, yellow pinstripes. Two thumbs up.
7. Kildare
No f**king around here.
6. Waterford
Azzuri’s entry is just delicious.
5. Galway
Ah shtop.
4. Dublin
No need to tamper with this bad boy.
3. Tyrone
The balls on them to produce this.
2. Wexford
Come on. It’s a lovely white and a gorgeous purple.
1. Sligo
Sligo and jerseys are just a match made in heaven.
