You’re really, really going to want to buy the new Philadelphia jersey

Heaven help us

Conan Doherty

You should really sit down for this because it’s going to weaken your knees.

It turns out Floyd Mayweather was wrong all along when he said that God only made one thing perfect, his boxing record. You see, he also made the new Philadelphia jersey – with a little help from textile, from the invention of sports, from the growth of the GAA and from his good friends at Masita.

You couldn’t swing a hurl on any corner of this planet nowadays without seeing a compatriot dressed in some player-fit design. Whereas before it might’ve been Roscommon tops and Cork kits that plagued the shores of every continent, now it’s local gear and that gear is just beautiful.

Well, where Floyd Mayweather was wrong, Lonestar was right because it really does just keep getting better.

Feast your eyes on the latest delight from Masita, the absolutely gorgeous Young Ireland’s strip.

The Gaelic football club is situated in Philadelphia – Upper Darby, if you find yourself in Pennsylvania – and whilst they’ve won championships in Philly, they can dine out forever on their glorious kit.

The jersey is going for 33 quid over at Masita and it is the away effort which has really caught the eye.

The home geansaí is grand but, by comparison, it’s hardly going to move as many mountains.

It’s still pretty decent in fairness.

Ah, do you know what? When you see it in the flesh, it’s bloody great too.
