Kerry GAA have unveiled a new commemorative home jersey that pays tribute to the great Kingdom teams of the 1920s and 1930s.

The green and gold O'Neills shirt features a photo of the 1929 panel on one sleeve and an image of Sam Maguire being raised on the other. The gold band includes every year in which the Kerry footballers have won an All-Ireland, and the words ‘Mise Ciarraí’ are emblazoned across the upper back.

It is not yet known if the jersey will be worn in a match.

The regular fit can be purchased on the Kerry GAA Store website for €70 with the player fit option retailing at €75. Children’s sizes are available for €45 to €50. Manufacturers O'Neills are also selling the jersey via their website.

Kerry legends Mikey Sheehy and Colm Cooper joined current star David Clifford at the product launch at Killarney’s Fitzgerald Stadium. The Fossa superstar, who is hoping to lead The Kingdom to their 38th All-Ireland title in the coming weeks, is the focus of O’Neills’ promotional campaign for the new shirt.

Peter Keane's side will face Tyrone in the rescheduled All-Ireland semi-final next Saturday, August 21 at 3pm in Croke Park. If they are victorious, they will line out in the All-Ireland final on Saturday, September 4. That match has also been fixed for 3pm.

Killarney teenager Luke Doolan has signed for Kerry FC, making the move from local side Killarney Athletic.

The 17-year-old forward was a standout performer in the Kerry District League last season and caught the eye with five goals in the Munster Youths Cup.
He also featured for Athletic’s senior team and earned a call-up to the Republic of Ireland Under-18 squad, where he impressed in international friendlies.
Doolan will now train with the Kerry FC first team and play with the club’s Under 20 Academy side. His signing is another boost for the club’s commitment to developing local talent.
Speaking after the move, Luke said: “I’m delighted to have this chance with Kerry FC and I’m looking forward to working with the team. I’m grateful to Colin Healy for the opportunity and I’m excited to play in front of the Kerry supporters.”
First-team manager Colin Healy added: “Luke has trained with us for the last number of weeks and has really impressed. He’s shown a great attitude and hunger to learn. He’s a talented young player and this is the next step for him.”
Kerry FC CEO Billy Dennehy said: “Luke’s journey is similar to many young players who previously had no League of Ireland pathway in Kerry. His progress is a credit to Killarney Athletic and his coaches. We look forward to helping him develop further at the club.”
