Why are Kerry and Donegal wearing alternate jerseys in the GAA All-Ireland football final and what colours will they wear?

The GAA has confirmed that BOTH teams will wear alternate kits for the final.

Both Kerry and Donegal’s main colours are green and yellow.

The change is to avoid a repeat of the 2014 final between the two sides, when both teams wore their home jersey.

Fans inside the ground and watching at home were also critical of the GAA during this year’s Donegal vs Meath semi-final, when both teams wore green and yellow.

For this final, Kerry will wear blue and Donegal will wear white.

The GAA wrote on social media: “A rare sight on the biggest stage. Kerry and Donegal in alternate colours for the first final clash since 2010.”
