GAA fans fume at Armagh v Derry colour clash in Ulster football final

GAA fans were fuming at a colour clash between Armagh and Derry in Sunday's Ulster Senior Football Championship final.

There was much anticipation about the final in Clones, with a sold-out crowd forcing many fans to watch from home.

But many of those watching the match on television were angry at the difficulty in distinguishing between the orange jerseys of Armagh and the red jerseys of Derry.

One person said: "Terrible organisation from the GAA allowing Armagh and Derry both to wear their home kit. They done this when Dublin played Cavan a few years ago too."

While another said: "Surely one of Armagh or Derry could have worn an alternative jersey for this Ulster Final. A bit ridiculous really.

Similarly, someone commented: "I know the Derry and Armagh jerseys are different colours, but not sufficiently different for television. It's unwatchable, one team should have been made to change colours

While another joked: "Good start for Derry, or could be Armagh I can’t tell which is which with the jerseys."
