Official identity guide
Costa Gaels
Brand Guide.
One crest. Three kit expressions. A clear, confident identity built for Gaelic games on the Costa del Sol.
The club mark
Protect the
crest.
The crest is the quickest way to recognise Costa Gaels. Give it room, use an approved file and keep every detail intact.
Clear space
Let the crest breathe.
Keep a clear area around the crest equal to approximately one quarter of its width. No text, sponsor mark, border or image detail should enter this space.
- Digital minimum
- 48 px wide
- Small print minimum
- 18 mm wide
- Preferred file
- PDF/vector master
Use approved artwork
Choose the supplied PNG for screens and the PDF or ZIP artwork for professional production.
Keep proportions
Resize from a corner and preserve the original aspect ratio so the crest is never stretched.
Do not redraw
Never recolour, rotate, distort, crop, outline or rebuild any part of the official crest.
Match-day palette

One club, every player
The kit
system.
Each expression belongs to the same family: strong blue and green recognition, official crest placement, white clarity and performance-led construction.
Men’s match jersey
Royal / Green
A royal-blue performance jersey with green structure and crisp white details. The standard GAA cut carries the official crest and O’Neills branding with confident match-day clarity.
- Koolite performance fabric
- Breathable and quick drying
- Short sleeves and two-stripe detail
- Personalisation available
Ladies’ match jersey
Royal / Green
The same club identity in an LGFA-specific silhouette. Royal blue remains dominant, with energetic green patterning and white details keeping the women’s team visibly part of one Costa Gaels family.
- Women-specific LGFA fit
- Performance-led match construction
- Official crest and O’Neills branding
- Shared club palette and recognition
GAELS
Alternative performance identity
Black / Green / White
The darker O’Neills club range gives Costa Gaels a strong alternative expression for training, warm-ups, travel and staff wear. Black provides the base; green carries club energy; white protects legibility.
- Supporting identity—not a replacement crest
- Best for training and off-field applications
- Keep green and white details clearly visible
- Use only official O’Neills club products
The live shop currently lists men’s and ladies’ match jerseys but no separately named alternative match jersey. Any match-day change strip must be approved by the club committee and O’Neills before production.
How Costa Gaels sounds
Warm welcome.
Competitive edge.
Write like a good teammate: direct, encouraging, inclusive and ready for the next challenge.
Invite people in
Use “we”, “our” and “you”. Explain unfamiliar Gaelic games language instead of assuming prior knowledge.
Make action clear
Lead with the useful detail: day, time, venue, team and the simplest next step.
Celebrate together
Credit teams, coaches, volunteers, families, opponents and sponsors. Success belongs to the community.
Keep the craic human
Personality is welcome. Avoid clichés, forced Irishness, exclusionary jokes and language that punches down.
Use this
“New to Gaelic football? Come down, meet the team and try your first session.”
Avoid this
“Only experienced players should attend.”
