Sponsorship logo placement is often the key factor when it comes to judging the aesthetic beauty of a jersey in any sport.

And Mayo went down a different route when designing their brand new home jersey as, rather than continue with Elverys across the red stripe of their shirt, they've moved the red band further up the jersey and placed Intersport Elverys underneath. Andy Moran, Aileen Gilroy, Evan Regan, Orla Conlon, Keith Higgins and Colm Boyle 30/11/2016 The decision is a bold one but one that we can get on board with as the new top looked absolutely great on Andy Moran, Evan Regan, and Keith Higgins, as well as ladies’ footballers Aileen Gilroy and Orla Conlon, at its official unveiling on Wednesday. It's predecessor came in at a respectable fifth on our ranking of each inter-county GAA jersey earlier this year and the new iteration should find itself right in contention again. https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/699325596854263809 “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. https://twitter.com/StephenBreen_/status/804012335295791106 https://twitter.com/Claree_Moran/status/804012647758856192 https://twitter.com/dermotheaney/status/804014530699395076 https://twitter.com/BenMon92/status/804014794168823809 https://twitter.com/mayogaabanter/status/804010833789538304 https://twitter.com/NameThePlayers/status/804017180799041536 https://twitter.com/CianMaher1/status/804054010181328896 https://twitter.com/PierceCallaghan/status/804042148282859520 But, as we've come to learn is always the case with jersey unveilings, not everybody is going to be as enamoured. https://twitter.com/SarahHynes97/status/804017293688766470 https://twitter.com/Jasonmcg2/status/804013131697684486 https://twitter.com/Smcn1165/status/804017384138936320 https://twitter.com/diarmuidgavin15/status/804056823263281152 https://twitter.com/lkbjrfucjh/status/804048694731567104 Catch up with this week's episode of Football Friday Live
