The relationship between athlete and road is profound. Athletes build a relationship with the concrete grey of the roads they pound in pursuit of their dreams, building muscle memory as they go.
Regular runners will notice that roadways all over urban Ireland carry the names of athletes, footballers, hurlers, soldiers, writers and significant Irish cultural figures whose deeds transcended their time. We drive, walk, run & cycle upon these roads every day, but we have long forgotten the people after whom they are named.
The concrete grey and arrow print of the Roads jersey salutes the daily grind of the every day athlete, incorporates the road signage that guides their route, and remembers the icons who led the way and laid the foundations of our culture.
