“There is a huge sense of pride in playing for Mayo and representing your community on the national stage," Mayo football manager Stephen Rochford said. "The jersey is a hugely important symbol of that.
"It is to wear this jersey that players across the county put their lives on hold for 10 out of 12 months in every year, for the chance of playing and winning for Mayo. We are already looking forward to re-grouping and meeting the challenges that 2017 will bring.”
The jersey will be on sale for fans from Friday and will be make its first appearance on the pitch in January.
Most fans gave it a resounding thumbs-up.
