Sweet d(e)vine Jesus.

We've been treated to some beautiful training jerseys, half-zips and singlets from all corners of Ireland recently. The GAA's flagship gear manufacturer, in O'Neills, has been challenged by up and coming designers such as KC Sports, Colgan Sports and Masita. The above-mentioned brands have provided us with some bangers, ranging from a dangerously beautiful Laois camogie top from Gaelic Armour,  to a game-changing ice-design number from KC Sports who are based in Mullingar. While the rugby world has keenly felt the emergence of the tank-top in recent times, with Connacht's new range of gear including a smashing effort, they haven't really taken off in GAA circles. Now we did spot a fine Dublin singlet in Las Vegas of all places, as the Irish made their presence felt prior to the highly anticipated fight between Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweateher. We honestly think that this O'Neills creation for the Tipperary hurling club in San Francisco will be crucial in kick-starting the revival of the vest-typed top in GAA circles. What's not to like about them? https://www.instagram.com/p/BYELVePArev/?hl=en&taken-by=tomdevine6 How have the Tipperary Senior hurlers not managed to sort themselves with one of these bad boys yet? Devine has certainly been in the gym in America, just look at those biceps. Tom Devine went on his travels to San Franciso this summer, where he played with the Tipperary hurling team. They recently won the San Francisco cup, and he made it into our All-Star America hurling 15 from this summer.
