Duffry Rovers in Wexford; Bride Rovers in Cork; one of the Antrim clubs, either Glenarm or Glenarrif, I can't recall which.
The old Killavilla club, prior to the merger with Ballyskenagh.

Ours is a very distinctive jersey and I’ve always been proud that it’s not shared with any other county.
But there are some clubs that use it in other counties. Glenswilly in Donegal - as sported by Micheal Murphy in his day, Carrickmore in Tyrone.
Any other notable ones?
I heard the same two sources for the origins of the ‘Faithful County’, as in the 1971 article quoted. The most recent, and I believe to be correct, is the Tullamore club wore the green white and gold colours, in the early20th Century, before the county teams adopted the national colours in the 1930’s.
What were the Offaly county colours before the change of county colours?
I confirm that Killavilla GAA wore green, white, and gold jerseys as an independent club, prior to amalgamating with Ballyskenach.
There are other GAA teams in the Island wearing green white and gold colours, just not to hand presently.
I believe Carlow with Green, Saffron and Red colours, are the other county with a tricolour jersey.
