Armagh did not always wear orange.

In the early years, the county lined out in black and amber, like the jerseys of Crossmaglen. Everything changed in 1926.

That year, Armagh won the Junior Football Championship, becoming the first Ulster county to claim a national football crown. The jerseys they wore were knitted by the Nuns of Omeath, using the only wool they had enough of: orange.

The colour stuck.

From the breakthrough All-Ireland final of 1953, to the long-awaited senior triumph in 2002, to a second All-Ireland title in 2024 - this jersey marks a century of belief, resilience and pride.

100 Years of orange later and this jersey holds all of those memories, determination and hope.

Look closely and you’ll see more than fabric. Woven into its pattern are the names of those who defined Armagh across a century. The pioneers of 1926, the heroes of 2002, the champions of 2024. Inseparable from the jersey itself - just as they are to Armagh’s story.
