The Camogie Association has unveiled its 120th anniversary commemorative jerseys at Croke Park.
The two commemorative jerseys were designed by O’Neills and produced in Ireland.
The aqua/lilac jersey is a fun and vibrant jersey design that encapsulates the spirit of the camogie community. It features the traditional camogie emblem that wraps from the front to the back of the jersey, with the 120-year anniversary logo on the left breast and upper back.
The dark grey/purple jersey has a shattered effect with a multicoloured gradient inspired by the camogie logo. It features a metallic camogie emblem on the front left and the 120-year anniversary logo on the left breast and upper back.
Unveiling the jerseys to coincide with the Association’s 120-year anniversary was Brian Molloy, Uachtarán of the Camogie Association, pictured above with player representatives from Faughs Celtic Camogie Club and Good Counsel Liffey Gaels GAA and Camogie Club in Dublin, Arklow Rocks Camogie in Wicklow and Moycarkey Borris Camogie in Tipperary.
The jersey prices start from €35 for children and €75 for adults.
The first official camogie match after the formation of the National Governing Body – The Camogie Association – was played on July 17th 1904 between Dublin clubs Keatings and Cúchulainns. To mark this milestone, Camán to 120 Commemorative blitzes will take place in Pairc Tailteann in Meath, McHale Park in Mayo and The Gaelic Grounds in Limerick on 17th July where over 3,000 U12 players will participate throughout the day.
This launch kicks off an exciting period of celebration for the Camogie Association, which will see further activity at the All Ireland Camogie Finals in August, a Gala dinner this summer, and club camogie celebration days later in the year, during which each club across the island of Ireland and internationally will celebrate camogie in their own unique way.
“Our UNESCO-recognised national sport, Camogie, has been played in Ireland back through the mists of time, but 2024 is a particularly big year for the Camogie Association as we celebrate 120 years since our formation as a National Governing Body,” said Molloy.
“I’m delighted to be at the headquarters of Gaelic Games today to unveil our fabulous commemorative jerseys, one of the many steps we are taking to mark our big anniversary.”
“We are sure that our members in Ireland and indeed across the world will love the commemorative jerseys, and I urge as many as possible to go onto the O’Neills site to buy one and wear it with pride over the course of this season. We would like to take the opportunity to thank O’Neills for working with us to produce such a high-quality product for this great occasion.”
