If there was a GAA jerseys World Cup, USA would be serious contenders.

We've already ranked the 32 intercounty jerseys. We've shown you some of the finest efforts from the continent of Europe. Now it's time to take a trip across the Atlantic to see what the GAA clubs stateside are togging out in. https://twitter.com/SportsJOE_GAA/status/869252106951282688 Judging by some of the shirts we've found from American clubs, they're clashing the ash and kicking 45s in serious style. San Francisco When in doubt, use a silhouette of your city's most famous landmark. It's a tried and trusted system. Boston GAA If you're not going go for your most famous landmark, go with a bridge. Admittedly, having never been to Boston, we don't know if the Leonard P. Zakim Bunker Hill Memorial Bridge is their most famous landmark or not. Young Islanders GFC More buildings... this time, it's subtle. Portland HC The best way to improve a Cork jersey is to add more Griffins. Original Houston Gaels There's a lot going on... but it works. Nashville GAC A simple, yet eye-catching number from Music City: USA. NYPD The long arm of the law is some man under a high ball. Fox River Hurling Club Unlike any GAA jersey we've ever seen before. (Cue a slew of messages from parishes who have eerily similar jerseys.) Aidan McAnespie No half measures from Boston clubs. They really go all out. Naomh Peregrines Wait until you see the almost hidden design on the back. Middle Tennessee State University   FDNY Red, white and blue? Wonder how they thought up that colour scheme... Greenville Gaels Even more bridges! A bridge too far, perhaps? Columbia Red Branch Essentially an Americanised Down jersey. Chicago Patriots The baby blue might divide opinion, but we're massive fans of the inclusion of the Chi-Town skyline. Clan Na nGael Atlanta  ATL showing that you don't always need to overthink it when it comes to designing a shirt. CAL Hurling Club If Boca Juniors started playing Gaelic Football and relocated to the Golden State. All images courtesy of O'Neills. If you would like to purchase any of the jerseys in the piece, you can do so by heading over to O'Neills' USA GAA store here.
