Meath

1994:
Like many counties, Meath began to use O'Neills' 'Páirc' design in '94. The new style was first seen in the league final against Armagh.

1995-2000:
Long-sleeved jersey for winter games. Used for a long spell, even after it had been 'officially' replaced.

1996-98:
O'Neills utilised their 'Three Vs' style for the next change in the summer of '96, although effectively only the sleeves changed.

1996:
For the All-Ireland semi-final against Tyrone, the Páirc design re-appeared, with an older-style neck on the collar.

1998:
In Leinster championship game against Kildare, the previous style returned, paired with new unique shorts design.

1998-99:
Long-sleeved 'Three Vs' jersey with the new shorts.

2000-01:
Eventually the new design was made available in long-sleeved format.

2001:
Brought in for the 2001 championship opener against Westmeath (the first of three meetings that year) was this nice new design. The stripe on the shorts broadly followed the sleeve details.

2001-03:
When Meath met Kildare in the 2001 Leinster semi-final the new jersey had been slightly modified, with the neck now possessing a shorter 'v'.

2001:
Meath played Westmeath three times in the '01 championship. The third of these was the All-Ireland quarter-final replay, a very wet day, so Meath wore long sleeves. The jerseys were the old design, but with green cuffs.

2002-04:
Long-sleeved version of the jersey introduced in 2001, the design of the sleeves meant that in the winter months gold was very prominent on the Royals' shirts.

2004-05:
For the O'Byrne Cup final with neighbours Westmeath in 2004, this jersey was first worn but was quickly replaced. The first to feature the new county crest, it was used at times in the early part of the following year.

2004-06:
First seen in the league game against Laois in March, this jersey differed slightly from that which had been introduced earlier. The squares were now more visivle while a darker green also featured and white disappeared from the collar.

2006-07:
New design introduced in 2005, featuring new sponsors the Menolly Group and a lighter shade of green, with gold pinstripes also included.

2008:
Front numbers added to long-sleeved shirts, initially in a different font to the usual O'Neills one.

2009:
Long sleeves, the triangle on the sleeve looking awkward due to the three stripes protruding from it.

2010:
Due to the Menolly deal ending, Meath signed a new deal with Comer Group International. While awaiting the new jerseys, this standard O'Neills template was used.

2010:
When the new design arrived, it was not a million miles from its predecessor, though the white trim was a new innovation.

2013-:
Another change of sponsor meant a new shirt, with Tayto Park in Ashbourne taking over from the Comer Group. The first Meath jersey in a while to feature a collar, the checked pattern was unique to the county. First worn with long sleeves in early part of the year.

1992:
Meath played Kerry twice in both the regular season and last 16 of the 1991-92 league, and wore the green and white of Leinster on both occasions.

1996:
Gold version of the new design, used when Meath came up against Mayo in a knockout league game.

1996:
Meath met Mayo again in the All-Ireland final, but this time the only change was that Meath wore green shorts, with the county crest on them.

1996:
Unsurprisingly, the overall green-ness was troublesome, so for the replay Meath wore gold jerseys.

1999-2000:
Long-sleeved shirt worn with new shorts in league quarter-final against Kerry, and again the following year against Mayo.

2000:
Gold version of new jersey, in long-sleeved format, worn against Kerry in the league semi-final with green shorts.

2000:
The Royals used this when meeting Offaly, despite the fact that a reversal of the usual jersey was worn against Kerry in the league semi-final. The sleeves were possibly influenced by Trevor Giles' practice of cutting his off.

2000:
The previous style was back for the 2000-01 league opener against Fermanagh.

2001:
The introduction of this, with the regular colours reversed, for the All-Ireland semi-final with Kerry meant that the previous offering remained a once-off. Remembered fondly as the Kingdom were played off the park.

2002:
Another meeting with Kerry, this time in the knockout stages of the league, meant a change, simply a long-sleeved version of that used in the previous year's semi-final.

2002:
When Meath were drawn with Donegal in the 2002 championship, the counties' colours were deemed to clash. As their change kits would also have done so, it was ruled that provincial colours would be worn, as in the 1990 All-Ireland semi-final.

2006-07:
Another meeting with Fermanagh, in the 2007 All-Ireland qualifiers, necessitated a change. A simple reversal of the 2006 kit was used.

2006-07:
Long sleeves, used against Offaly in 2006 O'Byrne Cup final. Identical to the goalkeeper shirt.

2008:
Meath were drawn against Limerick in the All-Ireland SFC qualifiers in 2008, with both sides having to change. Meath's change kit was the same as the that worn the previous two years, with the addition of the frontal numbers.

2009:
As usual, the change jersey mirrored the regular kit. Meath wore this in their final three championship games of 2009, against Limerick, Mayo and Kerry.

2013-:
Change shirt worn against Fermanagh in the league. Almost a straight reversal, unlike the home it featured no white trim.

2000:
This rare design was worn by Cormac Sullivan for the Offaly game. As both counties had worn their usual strips when meeting in 1997, '98 and '99, it was the first time Meath and Offaly changed kits since the early 1990s.

2001:
Introduced with the equivalent outfield shirt, it had the same sleeves, though a slightly different collar trim.

2001:
Meath goalkeeper Cormac Sullivan wore a different jersey for every championship game in 2011. This time, the neck changed while two white stripes were added.

2001:
For the Leinster final with Dublin, the collar trim was the same style as that of the green shirt.

2001:
It changed again for the All-Ireland quarter-final with Westmeath, extra gold and white trim on the neck.

2001:
With gold worn against Kerry in the All-Ireland semi-final, a change of goalkeeper shirt was required. As usual, blue was the choice, with the sleeves the same as the outfield shirts.

2001:
Yet another change for the All-Ireland final. This was basically a long-sleeved version of the Meath change shirt, with the sleeves contrasting with the other 14.

2002:
In this year, O'Neills began to remove the collar trim from a lot of goalkeeper jerseys, meaning another Meath netminder variation.

2002:
Plain blue shirt worn when Meath donned an all-green kit against Donegal.

2003:
Gold-collared version used in 2003 league.

2003:
Used when Meath changed against Fermanagh, identical to the 2001 All-Ireland semi jersey but for the gold collar.

2004:
Accompanying first incarnation of 2004 shirt, gold body with green sleeves. Interestingly, the county crest was rendered in a green outline.

2004:
Initially, this was paired with the second edition of the 2004-06 jersey.

2004-06:
It was soon replaced by this, however, which was essentially a long-sleeved version of the change shirt.

2004:
For the Fermanagh game this goalkeeper's top was utilised, essentially a blue-bodied version of the regular GK kit.

2005:
This jersey was used when Meath played Leitrim in the championship in 2005, rather than the design worn against Fermanagh the previous year. Featured the home sleeves with Kepak in green on a gold background.

2006-07:
With the launch of the new kit in 2006 was this new goalkeeper's outfit, a change from tradition. While it followed the design of the outfield top, it was grey with dark green sleeves and shorts.

2006:
Gold was now deployed as the second-choice goalkeeper shirt, the design the same as the change jersey.

2007:
Pretty much identical to the other gold jersey used by Meath goalkeepers, the only differences on this, used against Cork in the 2007 All-Ireland semi-final, were on the lower part of the sleeve.

2008:
Restored as the favoured goalkeeper colour, the gold shirt now featured a number 1 on the front.

2008:
While it had been demoted to second-choice goalkeeper colour with the re-instatement of the traditional gold, the grey jersey saw service in that game against Limerick. The dark green shorts were replaced by the more usual white, though.

2009:
Introduced with new kit, simply a reversal of the colours of the green jersey.

2009:
Blue long-sleeved jersey used against Fermanagh in 2009 league.

2009:
Short-sleeved blue jersey, worn against Limerick and Mayo in championship.

2009:
In the All-Ireland semi-final, Kerry wore blue, meaning another change of goalkeeper shirt, to grey.

2010:
New goalkeeper jersey, reverse of normal shirt and same as change jersey.

The shade of green used by Meath has grown gradually darker over the past decade and, in our view, recent kits don't measure up to those used by the county when they were winning All-Irelands in the 1980s and 90s. In fact, so dark is the current shirt that the Royal County have taken to wearing the gold alternatives when playing under floodlights as visibility had become an issue, especially playing against teams in blue. The current jersey is due to be replaced at the start of the 2016 season.

As is almost always the case, the gold version doubles up as the change strip when a clash arises and is also the first-choice goalkeeper strip. White is used by the goalkeepers when required.
