Gaelic Athletics flag

A green and yellow vertical bicolour with a centred shield, bearing a black shield with a golden harp above a castle. The name KERRY is arched above, and Ciarrai below.

This "county flag" is used by supporters of Gaelic Athletics (Gaelic Football, Hurling etc.) teams. There are as many versions of these as there are manufacturers, and none of these have official status. What is consistent is the county colours. The device on the centre is the unofficial arms used by the town of Longford until 1978 when they got a proper grant of arms (I believe it is based on the arms of Lord Longford).
