Behind the Design
2026 Ollie Horgan Third Kit
In 2026, Galway United introduced a Third kit that carries genuine emotional weight. As part of the in-house design team, this was never going to be simply an alternative strip. Manufactured by O'Neills Sportswear, the jersey was conceived as a considered and permanent tribute to the late assistant manager Ollie Horgan.
Black with refined purple detailing, capturing something of Ollie’s presence. Direct. Proud. Resilient. Deeply connected to his club and community.
BESPOKE HEMTAG
Passion, hard work, and integrity were the qualities most often used to describe Ollie. He lived those values daily, not only in how his teams performed, but in how he treated people. They defined his approach and earned him deep respect across Irish football.
NAME TRIBUTE ON CHEST
Ollie was a rare figure who needed no surname. In football circles, simply saying “Ollie” was enough. No embellishment. No explanation. Just the name.
It reflects the unique place he held in Irish football and the simplicity that defined him.
CELTIC SAILOR KNOT
The Celtic Sailor’s Knot is a symbol of remembrance. It represents eternal love, loyalty, strong bonds, and safe passage.
Incorporating the knot into the design allowed the shirt to carry symbolism without overwhelming its clean aesthetic. It anchors the jersey in memory and continuity.
SALTHILL COLOURS
The Salthill colours, positioned subtly on the back of the neck, are among the most personal details in the shirt. They pay tribute to Ollie’s homeplace, the coastal community that shaped his character and values. For those who know Galway, Salthill represents Atlantic resilience, close community ties, and quiet pride.
Beyond the design details, it was important that the shirt carried a meaningful partnership. The logo of Cancer Care West appears on the back of the jersey. Including the charity aligns the tribute with compassion and community support, values that resonate strongly with Ollie’s legacy. Its placement ensures that every appearance of the Third kit promotes awareness and solidarity.
