Lixnaw Hurling Club

Founded 1888

Co. Kerry

Colours and Crest

The club has worn a green and gold jersey from the earliest records available. The traditional pattern worn is green with a gold hoop.

The use of an alternate kit to address a clash of colours has only occurred since 2003, when it was used for the first time in the Kerry Senior Championship final. As is generally the case with all GAA clubs, its use is not agreed to lightly given the strong affiliation between club and colours. The alternate or change kit used by many clubs is a variation or inverse of the normal kit or will use a neutral white jersey. Atypically, Lixnaw have adopted the use of a distinctive blue jersey, which mirrors the alternate kit (based on the Munster GAA colours) used by the Kerry team over many decades. While the green and gold jersey is synonymous with Lixnaw, the blue alternate has been associated with a number of memorable successes on the field of play.

The club's crest was designed in 2001 and consists of an image of the Hermitage in Lixnaw with a representation of the nearby River Brick and a salmon on a shield and circlet bearing the name of the club, celtic knotwork and crossed hurleys.
