O'neills talking points

The Official Mayo GAA 2023 Home Kit has been unveiled and it’s a feast for the eyes. It represents the pride and passion of supporters, the commitment of players and drive for success. The traditional green and red colour palette is instantly recognisable to Irish people around the globe and the new jersey sees the return of the bottle green colour that served the Mayo football team well between the years of 2012 and 2018. With some modern updates including a silicone badge and three stripe should detail, this jersey is sure to be a popular one. The new kit will be worn by Mayo GAA, Mayo LGFA, and Mayo Camogie teams from underage to senior level.

Can you feel the chill in the air? Autumn has arrived and Winter isn’t far away. The change in seasons is welcomed by many, with the start of crisp mornings, dark evenings and cosy nights in front of the fire. But these seasons can be tricky to dress for, with low temperatures and unpredictable weather conditions. An update in our daily wardrobe essentials is required to be prepared for what the Autumn and Winter seasons have in store for us - wind, rain and dare we say snow. The days of vests and shorts are behind us with a need for all garments warm and cosy. It’s time for Autumn layers and Winter warmers. Layering is key to dressing practically for Autumn and Winter. Building an outfit from multiple layers offers versatility so you are prepared for changeable weather conditions, and outer layers can be removed when not required.

Retro jerseys are not only incredibly trendy garments with designs that are a feast for the eyes, but they also hold a world of nostalgia, triggering memories and emotions from days gone by.
