GAA: From Covid-19 lockdown project to museum exhibit

What started off as a Covid-19 lockdown project and gift to his GAA-mad brother, has now led to a Limavady man’s artwork being included in an exhibition at the National Museum of Ireland.

Tim McCann has created four rolls of honour for the All-Ireland winners in hurling, camogie and the men and ladies football, from 1887 through to 2023.

His graphic design artwork, which charters the evolution of GAA jerseys and uniforms through the years, is featured in a exhibition entitled GAA: People, Objects and Stories.

The artwork showcases the transition over the years from coloured woollen jumpers to the branded high-tech sportswear of today.

Speaking to BBC Radio Foyle’s The North West Today programme, Mr McCann, who works as a director of marketing at Bangor University in Wales, said his GAA artwork project all began as a gift to his brother, Chris.
