Rebels hope to be white-hot

THE jerseys to be worn by Cork in Sunday’s All-Ireland final were unveiled at Páirc Uí Chaoimh yesterday, though the new kit will not be available to purchase.

Due to the colour clash with Down, Cork will wear a white version of their regular kit, featuring red trim. This differs slightly from a white jersey — with navy accents — put on sale by manufacturers O’Neills earlier this year, which was worn by the Cork minor side in this year’s All-Ireland quarter-final.

County chairman Jerry O’Sullivan revealed that the reason for the slight alteration was due to a desire for the county’s traditional colours to be used.
