Dublin GAA have had a long-running relationship with jersey manufacturers O'Neill's.

However, for a few crazy days back in 2016 it looked like the Dubs might be breaking with tradition and going with a "continental" kit manufacturer. In the end, it never came to pass, but it did get our creative juices flowing. What could the new jersey look like if it was made by a company best known for producing gear for that foreign game? We decided to conjure up 15 prototype jerseys based on actual ones the three aforementioned companies have made to see if what the Dubs could be in store for. Here's what we came up with. Here's what the Dublin County Board ignored. Their loss. Roma Don't leave us just yet, there's plenty more to come. Dublin GAA Benfica 2015/16 Put me down for two. Dublin Benfica Bayern Munich 2007/08 Cluxton, we're looking at you. Dublin GAA Feyenoord Clogs are optional. Dublin GAA Czech Republic 2016 Not sure if this is made of fabric or body paint. Dublin GAA France 1984 Perhaps this would be better suited as Jim Gavin's attire than that of the players. Dublin GAA FC Basel Ballsy and just different enough that it could work. Dublin GAA Cameroon 2014 Could you imagine? Dublin GAA Mexico 2010 The only drawback is that it looks a bit like a rejected Man City shirt design. Dublin GAA Boca Juniors 1981 Retro is totally in now, right? Dublin GAA Houston Dynamo Modern is totally in now, right?   Dublin GAA Olympique Marseille 2010 Moving swiftly on. Dublin GAA Ivory Coast 2014 Arguably the only one that looks remotely like the current Dublin jersey. Dublin GAA Liverpool 1989 We're not sure who'd hate this more, the Reds or the Everton fans. Probably the Dubs. Dublin Liverpool Ireland USA 94 Sure it's unsightly, but the nostalgia should help you hold down the vomit. Dublin GAA
