06-08 for me. The gold on the other one just looks wrong.
Hi all! I've barely posted in 10 years but there's nothing like a 'best kit' vote and a match v England to get me back in the mix! :D
I've missed the vote for WC02 v 03/04... prob would've gone for the WC anyway as its a classic, even though i didn't love the neck or the cut...
92-94 v 98-00: I was never keen on how generic the adidas looked, but there's just far too much going on with the shading on the later kit, its a bit of a mess and even late-90s me didn't like it. So its 92/94 for me.
06-08 v 19-20: Tough choice as i like(d) them both quite a bit. I seem to be in the minority re. the NB effort, but never mind. So i'm voting 19-20
06-08
19-20 for me. I like the all green jersey, shorts, socks. Unusual shade of green but i think it fits with the collar in a sort of 1940s aesthetic
92-94 kit in the earlier match, there was something about those three striped kits that I always liked.
And the Stan kit in the second match up. Mainly because I hate the NB kit.
So that's a 10-4 win for Kevin Sheedy's top, and Gary Breen drops into the repecharge. Still taking votes (and indeed creative terms of abuse) on the third match.
Old v new for the fourth match - it's the 2017-18 kit (with some loops on it I think if you look close enough)

And it's up against what I think might be a heavy-hitter in this - the Italia 90 top (worn through Euro 92 qualifying as well)

My votes...
2002
1992
Current
Italis 90
Italia 90..the shamrock:cool::cool:
Italia 90
The 17-18 kit is grand and all like, but it has to be the Italy 90 shirt. Has to be short odds for the overall prize too.
1990 all day long
06-08 in round 3
Italia 90 round 4
Italia 90, then daylight.
Italia 90 - easy one.
90. Might vote for the 17-18 in the playoff.
Italia 90 for me. Something classic and no nonsense about the shape and cut. The vertical stripes in the sleeves add to it.
2017-18 looks like an upmarket t-shirt.
The Stan kit knocks out the current effort on a score of 8-4.
Could blow it up now in the other tie, but we'll stick by the rules and let it run until the evening. (I'll add my vote for Italia 90 though - a classic in the perfect shade of green)
We've another finals kit next up though - the Euro 2012 kit with the hooped socks.

And facing that is the Brian Kerr kit, which nearly got us tot he 2006 World Cup but for an Henry master-stroke (and some dubious tactical decisions which let slip too many leads against Israel)

By default, the Brian Kerr kit.
Those 2012 socks are hideous, and the alternating shades of green in the wide stripes are just wrong.
2006 kit
2006.
2006..stop the fight,the striped socks have had enough...:D:D
2006. That 2012 kit was as bad as the football we played in 2012
Italia 90, in spite of not loving the pattern on it.
I really like the 06 kit, other than the gack crest, so it wins that one handily enough for me.
Italia 90, and 2006 Kerr era. Two classic shirts, although nothing wrong with either opposition.
The Kerr kit
A whitewash there for the Italia 90 kit and it'll be a big hitter in the rounds to come.
Also currently a whitewash in the Euro 2012 v Kerr kit battle. Still time to change that though.
And in the meantime, it's a real clash of eras. It's the 2012/13 kit or the "Conor Sammon" kit -

And it's up against what looks like a kit borrowed off the IRFU, from 1985/86

I actually like both of those very much. I'll go 12/13 just on the shade of green.
i'll go for the Euro 2012, maybe for sentimental reasons. The 14th of November 2011 was one of the most entertaining and enjoyable nights of my life (the night of the second game against Estonia) and there's a photo of myself and my best friend wearing that jersey that night...
i'll go for the earlier jersey that McGrath is wearing, but i like both...
85/86.
Don't ever remember seeing that kit before. Mustn't have been around for long
No contest. Italia 90.
Use this as my vote.Quote:

85/86,old school "Eire" kit;)
(Re the 12/13 kit-whatever went wrong with feeding the fish btw?)
I vote 85/86 for the same reasonsQuote:

Rugger-bugger style jersey or not there's a real no muss no fuss about that 85-86 jersey, and it gets my vote. I'd buy it as a retro jersey quicker than most other ones so far.
Of course, there might be some subliminal trickery at play in having a pic of God himself wearing it!
Sammon kit - fine, nothing wrong with it. But no design classic.
