Honest to god tesco branded halloween costumes look better than this shite now. The cargo pants I understand a bit but the shirt is a fucking joke at best.
when you buy your uniform on wish.
Looks like cheap Halloween costumes
New, *Garda Lite*, you won’t even know they’re on the beat!
The new uniform is like when you asked your mam to buy you an Ireland jersey and she bought one of those “Ireland jerseys” from Dunnes
I just saw my first one, I asked if they were comfortable and I was told not really compared to the old ones! They’re atrocious really, even worse irl if that’s possible.
I hope they come with riot gear because the lads will be fighting off all the horny women.
Looks like 100% polyester
Designed by a farmer who grew up watching summer bay.
Haven’t seen a garda on the beat in about 10 years I’d say. I’ll have to wait until I’m in Topaz next to see these.
The young lads in town are gonna tear them apart. I feel sorry for them

The outerwear looks like bargain basement regatta gear.
Absolutely shocking design and the fit looks terrible.
Look like something you’d buy in middle aisle at Lidl
Shocking
I strongly dislike this institutional trend towards informality, which occasional seeps into infantilisation
Prison F.C training kit
The Guards in that picture look less than impressed. Your man’s face is basically screaming “I fucking know lads, I have a wear this shite in public”
We have managed to make our national garda force look like characters from a kids TV show.
How is anyone supposed to take them seriously looking like that. Other countries police forces at least look intimidating enough to know not to step out of line. But instead we have guards that look like they have special skills like paper mache construction and excel at fixing hurt feelings.
It looks like the Aldi version of the IRFU jerseys
Ma …. Im not wearing it.
So that we can take the guards even less seriously.
It looks like a garda Halloween costume
Fuckin PAW Patrol
We now enlist our police force from
Home and Away
Follow the money ,I’m sure these uniforms were sourced by an ex garda member or garda family then done as cheap as possible to make as much profit
Wow, they somehow managed to make them look like even bigger tools. Huge congratulations to everyone involved. Well done, lads.
Who designed this it looks like shit.
Guard: can I see your driving licence please.
Person: you don’t look like a real Guard.
Guard: What…?
Person: This is one of those scams. You look like a tool in that fake uniform.
Guard: spluttering…it’s…it’s a real uniform.
Person: yeah, right.
I absolutely hate this uniform. It’s like a sports kit instead of something with authority.
A sad day when Dublin Bus inspectors have a better uniform than the city’s police.
That’s wank
Is it made from Terry toweling?!
My tits would take one look at that shirt and laugh.
“Quality over cost”
You mean Cost over Quality right?
Don’t get me wrong, the old uniform looked uncomfortable, but it looked quite professional in my eyes.
This looks like something you buy your toddler for Halloween. I mean, just look at how terrible those epaulets look on a fucking polo shirt.
They genuinely look like they bought them off AliExpress, and I bet they still spent an absolute fortune on them
The Garda uniform looks like a fake Garda uniform from a cheap Halloween shop.
Garda uniforms need more structure to hold back the ubiquitous garda man boobs.
Don’t forget the new phone number too lads, it’s much easier to remember
0118 999 881 999 119 7253
I do have to say I’m glad they ditched the tie, they switched to the clip on type way back as it was a safety issue having a normal tie (not exactly rocket science to strangle someone with something grabbable around your neck) but still shit to have to wear the clip on.
They should have either ditched the epaulets (shoulder IDs) or updated them. They look awful with that polo shirt.
Same goes for the hat. Its like they asked for something modern, but also traditional, and got this monstrosity.
That being said, the old uniform was really impractical for the job they do. Imagine trying to chase some scrote down the road in your big heavy steal-toe-cap boots, a stab vest that is ridiculously heavy (outdated and not fit for purpose) and I really hope they’ve updated them. Along with all the the other shit they had to wear.
For context I did the Garda Reserve thing in the late 2000’s (have since left for a long time now) and we had the same uniform.
