Ranking every county’s goalkeeper jersey in order of tidiness

32 kits - some gorgeous, some... not so gorgeous

Conan Doherty

In the words of Father Ted, look at all the lovely jerseys.

There’s at least 13 genuinely glorious pieces of kit that anyone would be lucky to have in this collection. Yep, the goalkeeper jersey range is where it’s at this summer.

Granted you might have to go outside of Ireland to find the GAA’s tastiest goalkeeper jersey, but there are still some gems to be found in the All-Ireland football and hurling championships this season.

Here are the best and worst of them.

Disclaimer: As much as you might think so, there is no science to this selection process and rankings are purely subjective. SportsJOE will not be held accountable for any offence caused.

32. Down

Must try harder.

31. Fermanagh

Not the worst thing in the world. But, then again, the worst thing in the world is f**king horrible.

30. Meath

Would make a good kit for a summer camp steward.

29. Leitrim

Some say that, if you look too long, you can develop glaucoma.

This is unproven as of yet.

28. Clare

Looks like a toy truck.

27. Longford

As yellow jerseys go, this isn’t offensive.

26. Louth

Uninspiring.

25. Cork

Eaten by a GAA sock.

24. Limerick

The finest Limerick jersey there’s been in a while. And that’s saying… nothing.

23. Mayo

Three kits for the price of one.

22. Kilkenny

Unfinished paint job. Would’ve been pristine otherwise.

21. Monaghan

I mean, it’s grand.

 

20. Derry

They start to get pretty good at this stage.

19. Tipperary

Nice jersey, if very indecisive.

18. Offaly

Finally, an Offaly jersey we can get on board with.

17. Westmeath

Green or maroon stripes, it works.

16. Armagh

The Ulster boys get very competitive now.

15. Antrim

Something to celebrate for once.

14. Cavan

Yes.

 

13. Kerry

Fierce.

12. Wicklow

Weird, luminous colour and it isn’t horrendous. Deserves a medal for that. A goalkeeper jersey medal.

11. Donegal

A cheeky little devil of a shirt.

10. Carlow

Carlow without the green, yellow and red stripes. What’s not to love?

9. Laois

Clean.

8. Roscommon

Royal blue, yellow pinstripes. Two thumbs up.

7. Kildare

No f**king around here.

6. Waterford

Azzuri’s entry is just delicious.

5. Galway

Ah shtop.

4. Dublin

No need to tamper with this bad boy.

3. Tyrone

The balls on them to produce this.

2. Wexford

Come on. It’s a lovely white and a gorgeous purple.

1. Sligo

Sligo and jerseys are just a match made in heaven.
