How do mystery football shirts work?

Ordering a mystery football shirt is simple. First, choose your size and the type of mystery shirt you want. Next, tell us which teams you would like to avoid so you don't receive a shirt you already own. Place your order and we'll take care of the rest. Your shirt will be delivered to the address provided at checkout and includes information about the team, stadium, and notable players.

What's the difference between the mystery boxes you offer?

We offer several mystery products. The Mystery Football Shirt Box includes one authentic football jersey randomly selected from clubs and national teams around the world.

The Mystery Rugby Shirt includes one authentic rugby jersey selected from club, international, or tournament teams. The Kids Mystery Football Shirt includes one authentic football shirt in a range of children's sizes.

Can I avoid certain teams and leagues?

Yes. You can use the 'teams to avoid' field when placing your order to tell us which teams you do not want to receive. This could include rival clubs or teams whose shirts you already own. We will do our best to ensure your mystery shirt is a welcome surprise.

Do you ship internationally?

Chicago Parnells were one of the four clubs in the 2025 Chicago senior football championship at Gaelic Park. They won back-to-back national junior titles in the mid-2000s, reached two North American senior finals, and in 2022 had an Armagh star and a Tyrone star in the same team.

Club Story

A Quarter of a Century and Counting

Parnells train and play at Chicago Gaelic Park in Oak Forest, the seven-pitch home of Gaelic games in the city. When the club went recruiting for the 2014 season it said it had recently celebrated 25 years in Chicago, and that its squad was made up of both American and Irish-born players. The club is listed with USGAA as Chicago Parnells and in the GAA’s international club directory as Parnell’s GFC.

The first national silverware came at junior level. The USGAA roll of honour lists Parnells as Men’s Junior A Football champions in 2005 and again in 2006.

Senior Football

Two Finals and a City Rivalry

At senior level Parnells reached the North American senior final in 2009, where they met Christopher’s of Boston, and were back in 2011, losing 1-14 to 1-7 to Aidan McAnespies of Boston. Eoin Keating, Paul Carey and J. Cunningham all scored for Parnells that day.

At home they have built a rivalry with the Wolfe Tones, the most successful club in North America. In the summer of 2022 Parnells brought out two of the biggest names in Ulster football: SportsJOE reported Armagh’s Rian O’Neill setting up a goal for Tyrone’s Conor Meyler in a Parnells jersey, two players more used to being on opposite sides.

Parnells were one of four senior teams in the 2025 Chicago championship, alongside McBrides, Pearses and the Tones, and also fielded a junior side. Rory Gallagher of Parnells was named on the USGAA panel for the 2025 All-Ireland Junior Championship. The 2026 Chicago senior final was contested by Pádraig Pearses and McBrides, with Pearses winning after a replay.

Kits & Identity

A Gaelic Park Club

Parnells share their name with several GAA clubs in Ireland and London, so the Chicago crest is what tells a Parnells jersey from Gaelic Park apart from the others.

This FanFile covers Chicago Parnells as a club rather than one particular jersey. Check the crest, sponsor, manufacturer label and product code on your own shirt to identify its specific season and edition.
