Paul Galvin designs new Kerry jersey
F
FOUR-TIME All-Ireland medal winner Paul Galvin has unveiled the new Kerry GAA jersey he designed along with O’Neills.
The new jersey was jointly launched in the Kerry GAA Store on Friday by Paul along with Tim Murphy, chairman, Kerry County Board, and Frank Hayes, director of corporate affairs, Kerry Group.
“We are, I believe, about to enter another very exciting era for Gaelic football in Kerry,” said Tim Murphy.
“As part of our overall vision for the future we believe the Kerry jersey to be an integral part of our proud football history and tradition which inherently reflects who we are as a people and what we stand for.
“On that basis I invited one of our former greats, Paul Galvin, to work with O’Neills in designing an authentic jersey reflective of this tradition while also addressing the issue of number visibility.”
Paul Galvin described the design and production process he undertook following Tim’s brief and working alongside O’Neill’s as “a great collaborative experience”. “The new design is inclusive, rich in storytelling and strong in identity,” he said.
Inspired by the iconic 1985 Kerry jersey, the deep green and gold base with white trims "was essential to re-connecting with Kerry’s identity while also helping to implement part of the county board’s vision for the future in addressing the issue of number visibility for supporters”, said Paul.
He added: “We hope that past players will recognise the new jersey as a symbol of respect, that current players will wear it as a symbol of pride and identity and that future players will want to wear it. It was an honour to work on it.”
