Jerseys of Old

Lads, after all the bickering, something a little more enjoyable especially if you are a nerd like myself. Buddy of mine has been putting together this site for a long time and all the jerseys are hand drawn with MS Paint or something. Well worth a look and I'd say he'd welcome anything he missed out on. If you go down to index you'll find every county there...

Cheers Tommy, we'll pay you later!

To the other Kildare heads, any evidence of older green jerseys being worn prior to '06?

All Ireland minor final (or semi-final) of 1973 or 1974 v Tyrone...they wore green that day for sure.

Am I right in saying Kildare wore green in 2004 away to Waterford, think was in Walsh Park before a Galway-Waterford league game. That's only occasion pre-2006 I can rememeber any away strip. Anyone else?

Correct. It was the same design as the goalkeeper jersey below except in green (obviously!)

We wore a plain green jersey once for a league knockout match (or possibly the centenary cup?) in Croke Park at some stage during the eighties. I can't recall if it was Monaghan or Tyrone we were against but I remember the team photo and the likes of Tompkins, John Crofton and Luke Dempsey were playing.

Serious full-back line, how did they ever concede four goals?

It was a miserable day and from memory, some Kildare people went for a cuppa but got caught with the queue. When they arrived up after about 10 mins we were 3 goals down. Never saw the like of it.... One of those games to forget.... But for sure it was a serious full back line.

I remember the black lining around the armpits caused its fair share of controversy at the time...

Mikasa gloves on SOS. The yellow ones with the sticky black dots. They were the best gloves ever for football.

Oh yes the most sought after gloves in Kildare. You'd always know the club who had a few lads working there. First lot had red bands and then the moved to yellow bands. Think there was a pic. of Nuxer catching a ball with a pair on....
