Dublin Jersey Scrappage Scheme – Calling all old Pants, Flags and Y Fronts
Talking Balls No Comments »
Already we have heard tales of Jimmy Keaveny rooting about in the cupboard for his old kitbag. Such was Jimmy’s girth that one shirt of his would get you enough discount to buy two or three of the funky new Vodafone variety.
Other oul fellas about Dublin haven’’t got an old county shirt but have been rooting out pairs of Y fronts, socks, jock straps, string vests and support garments of varying vintages to see what if any deal they can strike with Champion. One oul lad in Crumlin has a unique medical appendage that was developed in the fifties to help him continue to work on the roads, moonlighting as a groundsman, despite a burgeoning hernia that alarmed other workers, ladies and the general public in equal amounts. Women have been dyeing oul bras and corsets light blue in the hope of convincing Champion they were official issue supporters garments,
Champion haven’t been available to comment on what exactly they will take in exchange but the details suggest all these schemes will be in vain. We can reveal that the new Scrappage deal will see €20 slashed off the current €60 price of the new 2010 Dublin Home Jersey for fans who bring their old jersey into Champion branches across Dublin and in Carlow, Newbridge and Drogheda
The move was welcomed by Dublin players today at the launch of the deal. Football star and All Ireland U-21 final man-of-the-match Rory O’Carroll said, “The feedback on the jersey has been extremely positive and it is great that this jersey trade-in deal has been launched before the championship starts as fans can get their hands on it at a discount.”
So then the message coming loud and clear is, calling all you Dubs, time to move on and sell off the Charlie Redmond replice you bought after your stole Sam off Tyrone in 1995.
