Foot.ie decides - Ireland's best away kit

[pineapple stu]

9-5 for the infamous orange kit is the final score. And in the other tie, the Euro 88 kit is also making a push as a genuine contender; it's currently 9-1 up.

The last two round-of-16 ties are up today. First, we have the 2011 Nemo Rangers kit against the 1994 qualifying kit.

2011 is growing on me, but I'll stick with 94 (see news today that Alan McLoughlin is dealing with cancer).

[DeLorean]

1988 & Nemo, if only to upset Kingdom.

[DeLorean]

2011 is growing on me, but I'll stick with 94 (see news today that Alan McLoughlin is dealing with cancer).

Read his book a few years ago and he had been dealing with it previously. Doesn't sound good, fingers crossed for the poor fella. That game at Windsor is being repeated on Eir Sport tomorrow night actually.

[jbyrne]

euro 88 and 94 thanks

[Kingdom]

88 & 94.
I'll fix you yet nemo (no you won't). Shake harder boy!

[sadloserkid]

94 should be treated as one of the potential winners for me.

[DeLorean]

94 should be treated as one of the potential winners for me.

I'm hoping it gets eliminated on the grounds that it was actually 93... Nemo abú.

[CraftyToePoke]

93/94

[John83]

Nemo is something different. I'll vote for that.

Not fond of the identikit giant trio of shoulder stripes.

I loved that black kit. One of the few times when we went off-piste where it hit the spot.

That being said, the 1993 kit has such an emotional resonance that it's hard to overlook it.

* looks at Windsor goal *

So yeah, 1993 kit.

[Fixer82]

Nemo Rangers for me.
Not into identikits

[elatedscum]

2016
1994

[SkStu]

This is actually a tough one... the 1994 jersey is an identikit - i like the orange trim in the collar though - but also brings up those positive memories but the 2011 jersey is a nice jersey, different/unique for us, but i dont think i voted for it in the last round...

Its a close one but give the news about Alan McLoughlin this morning, im going to go with 93/94.

[Eminence Grise]

Irrational, I know, but I feel if I give the 93-94 kit my vote it's going to mean something good and positive. So: Alan McLoughlin's jersey it is.

[the 12 th man]

1994 strip.

[pineapple stu]

Euro 88 coasts into the quarters, completing a 12-2 win.

92-93 currently holds a solid lead, with votes taken till the morning. And in the meantime, the last bout for this week is between the 2017/18 kit and the 2002 finals kit.

[pineapple stu]

Wait, what?

[John83]

2002 kit edges it for me.


Wait, what?
I presume he had multiple tabs open and this went into the wrong thread by accident.

[Eirambler]

92-93 and 2002.

[sadloserkid]

2002 but they're both lesser than the poor, unappreciated 2012 one.

[CraftyToePoke]

17 / 18
I don't like blue on ours, it doesn't belong.

[passinginterest]

Yeah, 2002 for me I think not mad about either of them.

[the 12 th man]

17/18,hate the blue bit as well.

[BonnieShels]

17/18

[Fixer82]

2002. I like the navy complimenting the green shorts.
Apparently, our first ever jersey was navy so that's why we sometimes have dashes of envy in our jerseys, as a nod to that.

[Kingdom]

the 02 jersey was and is still, a gem. And was a great jersey to wear, unlike the green finals jersey of that tournament. I swapped it for a Germany shirt in 06, in a moment of utter, drunken, drunken stupidity, somewhere up the gickerstrasse.

[DeLorean]

17/18 at a push. Neither great.

[backstothewall]

1993 and 2002 for me.

[Colbert Report]

1993 and 2002 for me as well, thanks.

[pineapple stu]

Another big win there so, 14-3 in favour of the three stripes kit.

2002 leading the way against 17-18, and when that tie concludes tonight, we'll have our last 8.

[SkStu]

I think ill go 17/18

[pineapple stu]

Quiet day; just one more vote. Doesn't impact the result either; 2002 is through 9-5.

So we have our last 8, and the first quarter will go up on Monday morning. Till then!

[pineapple stu]

And yet it was easily knocked out in the first round by a fairly mundane kit, which in turn got hammered in the last 16!

We start into the quarters today. One bout per day, which means no parallel voting. I'll post this one now, and it'll run until this time tomorrow, when the next match goes up.

Interesting one to start off with - it's the Macedonia top against the Alan McLoughlin top. Which one is your semi-finalist?

[backstothewall]

Aww. This should have been the final for me. Sad that they've met so early.

1993.

[jbyrne]

1993 thanks

[CraftyToePoke]

That, sir, is a thing of beauty.

Ah Kingers, its a pyjama.

[CraftyToePoke]

McAteers Macedonia

[DeLorean]

:orange: for me again

(btw Stu, we appear to be on the wrong thread)

[passinginterest]

I'll have a Macedonia.

[pineapple stu]

:orange: for me again

(btw Stu, we appear to be on the wrong thread)

Oh ******!

I've reported the posts and hopefully a mod will move

[Eminence Grise]

McLoughlin 1993, please.

That orange yoke is like a cheap hi-vis vest gone wrong (though if it helped the current team find the strikers more frequently, I'd wear it for life...)

[sadloserkid]

Aww. This should have been the final for me. Sad that they've met so early.

1993.

I share the sentiment that this should have been the final based on what is left.

I also share the sentiment that 1993 should be moving into the last four.

[elatedscum]

Macedonia

[Eirambler]

1993 McLoughlin jersey.

[John83]

Can I vote against both of them?
