Cork City FC just launched a special jersey as a tribute to an iconic chipper

Never forget.
Cork City FC has unveiled a new special edition jersey commemorating beloved Cork chip shop, Jackie Lennox’s, which closed its Bandon Road premises on this week last year.
The closure of the chipper after 73 years in business made headlines all over Ireland with hundreds of heartbroken locals queuing for hours to get their last Jackie’s.
Now Cork City FC have collaborated with the Lennox family for a new commemorative supporter’s jersey, which is available for a limited time only and is priced at €50 from the club shop in Douglas. The white jersey has a retro Cork City FC crest from the early ‘90s and a Lennox’s logo across the front, created by the club’s very own Rebel Army Clothing.

Fans got a sneak peak of the jersey at an event in Sober Lane ahead of the FAI Cup Semi-Final against St. Pat’s.
“Cork City FC always supported Lennox’s and we were thrilled when they asked us to collaborate on this special edition jersey.” said Brian Lennox.
“It is very heartening to know that the people of Cork still hold a special place for Lennox’s a year after we closed our Bandon Road premises. It brings us great joy to see the Lennox logo on this new jersey and I hope it is well received by the club’s supporters.”
