At Wednesday's launch of the 2023 Lidl Ladies National Football Leagues, Kerry star Síofra O'Shea unveiled the Kingdom ladies football team's new black shorts, a switch away from the traditional white worn with Kerry's regular green and gold jersey.

Kerry are the latest women's team to sideline white, after a host of similar changes across several sports over the past year to alleviate player concerns about wearing white shorts while on their period.
