The lads over at Murphy's designed these gorgeous set of rainbow gloves for a campaign called #sharethegLOVE (Who doesn't love a good play on words?!)
Murphy's are selling the gloves for a very reasonable price of €13.45 with all proceeds going to Aware (a mental health charity) and The Rainbow Project (Offers help for LGBT+People).

A number of players were meant to don the gloves in last Sunday's All-Ireland semi final clash between Dublin and Tyrone but the sunny weather ended up getting in the way of that so here's hoping for a bit of rain for the All-Ireland final so we can see these beauties in action.
