New Cork GAA jersey nods to glory days

Cork football and hurling players Daniel O'Mahony, Alan Connolly, Chris Kelly, Brian Hayes and Colm O'Callaghan wearing the new Cork GAA jersey.

Cork GAA has unveiled its 2025 jersey, with a design that harks back to the glory days of the 1990s, featuring a return to the collar jersey, which is synonymous with Cork teams who dominated the game for a generation.

Designed by O’Neills, the new jersey retains the traditional red and white associated with the Rebels. Amongst the other unique elements, there is an historic map of Cork city imprinted on the entire jersey. The map design includes the suburb of Blackrock and the Ballintemple site where SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh is now located.

The new design is also the first time that the Cork GAA jersey features a sleeve sponsor, after McCarthy Insurance Group boosted its partnership for the season ahead.

Kevin O’Donovan, CEO of Cork GAA, said; “The launch of our new jersey is always an exciting time for the organisation and we are really happy with the design of the 2025 jersey.”

“The collar and the old map are a nod to the long tradition that Cork GAA has in Cork and we hope it resonates with all our supporters – young and old. I would like to thank Sports Direct for their continued support of Cork GAA and we look forward to seeing the jerseys on display in stores around Cork.”

The new jersey launched on October 24th – Sports Direct is the official partner of Cork GAA.
