2000/02 Dublin GAA Jersey (XL)

Authentic 2000/02 Dublin GAA Jersey by O’Neills

Secure one of the most recognizable and aesthetically unique Dublin GAA designs of all time with this original 2000 dublin gaa jersey manufactured in Ireland by O’Neills. Fielded across the 2000, 2001, and 2002 inter-county Championship seasons, this shirt captures the vibrant spirit of Hill 16 at the dawn of the 2000s.

Hill 16 Magic & The 2002 Leinster Title Revival

This 2000 dublin gaa jersey stands as a landmark release in modern GAA kit styling. Breaking away from traditional solid block panels, O’Neills introduced a striking deep navy-to-sky-blue gradient fade running down the torso. The design is framed by dark navy sleeves, white shoulder three-stripes, and a structured dark navy placket collar that gives the top an unmistakable classic silhouette.

The chest proudly displays an embroidered Dublin GAA crest on the left, paired with the O’Neills logo on the right and long-standing department store sponsor Arnotts printed bold across the center. During the memorable summer of 2002 under newly appointed manager Tommy Lyons, this jersey became synonymous with a explosive Dublin revival—ending a seven-year Leinster title drought with a dramatic victory over Kildare at a roaring Croke Park. This design was brought to life on the pitch by iconic Dubs figures including All-Star top scorer Ray Cosgrove, midfield general Ciaran Whelan, inspirational captain Paddy Christie, Coman Goggins, Shane Ryan, Senan Connell, and a young Alan Brogan during his breakout debut season. Crafted from durable, heavyweight performance polyester, original turn-of-the-millennium Arnotts shirts in well-preserved vintage condition remain holy grail tops for Dublin loyalists and 32-county GAA purists.
