The article says it is similar to a jersey. Does it differ in any way? If so, how? If not, why do two terms co-exist?
This was mentioned in the Australian rules football article.
a word possibly derived from the Irish (Gaelic) word "geansaí" meaning "sweater"
I deleted it as there were no citations and it appears to be false etymology - anyone able to back this up or maybe mention it in this article instead ? -- Rulesfan ( talk) 22:28, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Many of the sentences in this article seem to be taken verbatim or nearly verbatim from the cited references. E.g., for citation 4, only four words in the paragraph appear to be original. These sections probably should be paraphrased. Dtremit ( talk) 17:01, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
Well geansaí is the Irish for jumper (in general), I learned it in school. But here's a link that will back me up. Something that I don't have a link for is the practice to call sport's jerseys (or t-shirts) geansaís colloquially in many parts of the country. It may have transferred to Australia. 89.101.75.203 ( talk) 20:50, 17 July 2010 (UTC)
Much of the content seems to echo the content on this page. -- Calton | Talk 15:18, 21 April 2014 (UTC)
I was wondering where the term "clash" guernsey came from. It seems to be comparable to an away uniform in the US, but i'm not enough of an expert to feel comfortable making an edit. Doc Quintana ( talk) 20:49, 15 September 2010 (UTC)
Hi all, I've removed some material that appeared to have been copy/pasted directly from the cited sources. You can see the edit summaries for details. In each case, the offending material was added by an IP in 2008. As an aside, someone took a couple of sentences from [1] which might be a nice source for anyone interested in improving the article going forward -- depending on how reliable you assess this company's history to be.
