In this episode of Over The Bar, Michael Foley and Ciaran O’Hara dig into the history of Derry’s distinctive colours — and the surprising truth that, in many ways, their exact origin remains unclear. Tracing early records, changes over time and the evolution of the county’s identity, the lads explore what we do know, what we don’t, and how the red and white became firmly established despite the gaps in the story. A fascinating reminder that not every GAA tradition comes with a neat origin — and that mystery is sometimes part of the history.
