Once upon a time, the Wexford style was fairly constant, gold on the shoulders and sleeves and purple from there downwards, but since the turn of the millennium the design has become fairly fluid. While the immediate predecessor to the current shirt was primarily gold, the new rigout for 2014 was almost all purple.
That meant that, instead of clashing with Clare, the Model County now needed an alternative when playing Galway and Westmeath, and the change shirt actually looked more like a 'normal' Wexford top. The white goalkeeper jersey would, in our opinion, look nicer with some gold trim to accentutate the purple.
