Skills Before Frills- Let Camogie Players Pick Their Kit


Skills Before Frills- Let Camogie Players Pick Their Kit
The Issue
Watching the scenes in Dublin v Kilkenny semi final yesterday, the issue of choice in the kit worn by Camogie is about empowerment, self-expression, choice and most importantly EQUALITY.
Referrees ( in shorts) sending 2 senior teams off the pitch to change into skirts is societal suppression on female choice and needs to CHANGE.
Playing Camogie has always been about demonstrating strength, skill, and unity and yet, the lack of choice in our uniform feels like an outdated relic of a past era that suppresses rather than celebrates female athletes.
Camogie has stood as a symbol of women’s resilience and tenacity in the face of social barriers, and yet, the enforced uniform silently undermines this spirit. Imagine stepping onto the field not just ready to compete, but feeling comfortable and confident because the gear you're in doesn’t clash with your personal comfort or sense of self. This isn’t just about a piece of clothing; it’s about allowing athletes to perform without any unnecessary hindrances.
By signing this petition, you are supporting more than just a uniform change; you’re standing for equality, progress, and the right for every player to make choices based on their personal comfort and identity. Join us in urging the Camogie Association to allow Camogie players the freedom to choose between skorts or shorts for their matches. Your voice can help us push for a change that echoes the values of fairness, respect, and empowerment across the sporting world. Sign this petition to be heard.
