i think only the irish will be able to answer this football question. do cork have a red kit? i ask because my friends who now live in ireland bought my little boy one and i was puzzled because i thought they were green and have no idea what their away kit is lol the tag says county supporters on it too ;)

that'd probably be the gaa county jersey?

the cork city football tops are green and away is black i think? (they generally wear green home and away :P )

hope that helps.

ah gaelic football eh? that can be brutal stuff lol
can't find any match images with this kit in lol but i have found one with somebody in the crowd wearing it, plus on the back of this shirt it says corcaigh. the pic i found there is great big orange flag with corcaigh and a crest on it, looks to be in that big gaelic stadium that ireland wanted to use for their joint bid to get the euro's a while back lol

does this help? :D

no that's not it lol
i think it must be some sort of supporter only shirt or something.....

the guy i have circled i think is the one, it's a tiny tiny bit different but that could be the same reason as all kits in sport change ;)
