A smart way to mark the year that’s in it.
Everyone knows it’s the 100th anniversary of the Easter Rising, but Belfast GAA club O’Donovan Rossa are also celebrating their centenary this year.
And the club are commemorating the moment with a special jersey this season, which features the Irish tricolour and harks back to the team’s original shirt design.

Club member Peter McCormack informs us that in the original, the tricolour had to be presented backwards as the republican flag was at that time banned in Belfast.
And the Centenary archive reveals another gem with our original geansaà – no light slim-fits here! pic.twitter.com/d6RJ9D3oPi
