Dublin GAA fans have shared their thoughts on their team’s new jersey for next season after it debuted this week.
On Wednesay, sports stars Brian Fenton, Dónal Burke, Caoimhe O'Connor and Emma O'Byrne helped launch the new five-year sponsorship with Staycity Aparthotels at Parnell Park. The Dublin GAA top features the classic sky blue, but it has a new dark blue collar and the same shade at the end of each sleeve.
AIG’s long-running partnership with the capital has ended after 10 years, with Staycity Aparthotels now the team's new sponsor as part of a five year deal. The new kit is available to pre-order right now, but the kit has been praised by some but slammed by others.

Taking to X, one Dublin supporter wrote: "Love the new jersey the navy blue collar and sleeves look well."
A second commented: "Nice fresh new kit. Up the Dubs."
But others were not impressed by Dublin GAA's new kit. One person tweeted: "The logo looks crap. You’ve just ruined a good jersey."
Another supporter commented: “It’s a bit ironic considering that no inter county team can stay in Dublin anymore with hotel prices”
A third said: “Short term lets have contributed to the housing crisis in Dublin & this is a terrible choice of sponsor. As someone affected by this crisis I am disappointed by the lack of awareness from @dubgaaofficial #BuildHomesNotHotels."
