Episode notes
How did Kilkenny come to wear black and amber? In this episode of Over The Bar, Michael Foley and Ciaran O’Hara uncover the remarkable story behind one of the most iconic jerseys in Irish sport. From its origins and how it became a unifying symbol across the county, to its unexpected role in what may have been the GAA’s first image-rights controversy, the black and amber carries far more history than most supporters realise. The lads also trace the jersey’s extraordinary involvement in an unlikely three-country All-Ireland adventure — a tale that stretches far beyond Kilkenny itself.
