Ranking every League of Ireland premier division jersey in order of desirability

Because we can

Conan Doherty

The SSE Airtricity League is back on Friday but the real action has already begun.

The jersey battle has kept us busy through the off-season and, with 12 teams fighting it out to win the SportsJOE Kit League, it’s time to put them out of their misery.

Here’s a list – completely subjective – of our favourite premier division kits. Apologies in advance.

12. Wexford Youths

With all the sponsors we’re not sure if this is a football jersey or Formula One clothing.

11. St. Patrick’s Athletic

Grand. Let’s hope the football at Richmond Park isn’t this boring.

10. Galway United

Nice colours but a very strange collar.

9. Shamrock Rovers

A classic that is hard to get wrong – it gets really competitive from here.

8. Derry City

10HomeShirt2016

Despite the sexy go faster stripes on shoulders this is a little safe.

7. Sligo Rovers

A big improvement on its St. Pat’s counterpart.

6. Bohemians

A fine piece of knitwear. Could be higher. Sorry.

5. Cork City

John Mountney and Greg Bolger 27/2/2016

Lovely.

4. Longford Town

Similar to Bohs. Plainer. Better.

3. Bray Wanderers

CcADviMWoAA_zmk

A fine, ballsy entry from Nike.

2. Finn Harps

A throwback. A gem, as long as you like big collars.

1. Dundalk

Worthy of a champion. Top banana.
