Dublin GAA unveil new jersey ahead of inter-county resumption

Dublin GAA have unveiled their new jersey ahead of the resumption of inter-county fixtures this weekend.

The Dubs footballers host Meath at Parnell Park on Saturday evening as the Allianz Leagues resume seven months after being postponed due to Covid-19.

Dublin unveiled the jersey on social media this morning to mixed reviews.

A number of people were fans of the shirt, but others weren't as keen.

One person on Twitter said: "Loving the new Dublin jersey."

Another added: "Love it..should have 5 stripes on the arms."

But someone else said: "Prefer the current one, but it's not bad."

Another Twitter used commented: "Not convinced about this new Dublin jersey - it's a bit too much of training top."

This weekend's game sees the Dublin footballers playing at Parnell Park for the first time in a decade.

But Jason Sherlock insists the current generation won't be bothered by the move from Croke Park, where they have played all their league and championship games for the Dubs when in the capital.

"Everyone's dream, every footballer and every hurler's dream is to play in Croke Park," he said.

"That's what you're (thinking about) growing up and I was lucky enough to do that when I was in school.

"But Parnell Park, you play all the big Dublin club matches there so it is a special place for any Dublin footballer.

"I think if Dublin are playing in Parnell or Croke Park it'll mean as much to the team....now maybe the opposition, I don't know if it'll have any benefits to them, but certainly from a Dublin footballers' point of view, both of them are quite special.

"But obviously it's a totally different feeling playing a match in Croke Park and Parnell Park and there's pros and cons to both."

The new Dublin jersey ranges in price from €50 for a kids shirt to €70 for an adults.
