Paul Galvin has revealed that men’s fashion needs to be taken more seriously amongst GAA players.
The fashionable sports star, who is married to Today FM’s Louise Duffy, has a keen interest in fashion and has a clothing line with Dunnes Stores.

When asked would Paul ever strike a conversation about fashion in the GAA dressing rooms, he admitted that he would never open up his interest in fashion.
“I never did that, to be honest. If the boys started [talking about fashion], I’d have a chat,” the fashion designer admitted on The Anton Savage Show.
“The [fashion] game is amateur, and guys will catch up soon – it will be a very normal thing.”

The 36-year-old can see the changes happening now with the GAA players and fashion.
“It’s becoming that way anyway. I see it in the young guys playing the GAA.
“They’re must more into their clothes. They’re more interested in how they appear,” the Kerry native revealed.
“I think that someday the amateurism and the oppressive nature of the GAA will progress, the thinking will become less conservative.”

The hurler admitted that having an interest in fashion is a normal thing for a guy in sports, but that Ireland needs to work on it’s oppressive nature.
“In sports, having a clothing label or having an interest in how you dress is a very, very normal thing.
“But I think we’re a little bit of an oppressive kind of culture in Ireland.
“Not particularly in the GAA, but there has been in the sport. I think that’s more the issue.”
