Mayo to wear white 1951-inspired jersey in All-Ireland final against Kerry

Mayo will wear a specially designed white jersey in the upcoming All-Ireland senior football final against Kerry, inspired by their 1951 victory. This decision followed a coin toss where Kerry initially won the right to wear an alternative kit, but Mayo requested a change due to color clashes with Kerry's dark green kit. Concerns about color blindness led the GAA to grant Mayo permission to create a new jersey. After discussions with the county board, manufacturer O'Neills, and sponsor Elverys, Mayo will don a white jersey featuring the official crest and Elverys branding. This marks a departure from their usual green and red attire, highlighting efforts to ensure visibility during the match.
