2005. 10/11 is, at best, tepid.
I’ll go for the Dunne kit
2004 for mise.
2005 by a country mile.
2018 WCQ for me. I remember really, really disliking the 2002 away kit. Yes, i get agg about really bland and pointless things.
And it seems i'm in then minority but i vote for Dunne 2011.
Dunne kit 2011. Love it.
Good spot. most all the chat had been about the shirt, I hadn't bothered to take note of the actual question being asked of us.Quote:

I don't like the green colour in the 2018, way too dark for my tastes. There is only one true green colour and 39 others which deviate to different degrees.
Therefore the vote goes to 2002
It's not fair to pit Moscow Dunne's iconic shirt against A N Other, no one even notices that the drawers are droopy
I abstain on grounds of conscience.
2005 for me
2005.
2017/18 wins through 8-5. Still no real hammerings, and no real favourite emerging either.
Currently 7-3 to the 2005 kit, but all day for that. And the last bout of the week is up now, a battle of retro against weird. We've the 1983-85 away kit up against a kit I think only worn in the 2011 Carling Cup.

I should add there's 6 more ties to go, so we'll get through them on Monday to Thursday. Then on Friday, the 15 losers will go into the repechage where one will be given a reprieve and reinstated, while one (which could in theory be the same one) gets voted our worst ever away kit. And on Monday week, we'll start into the last 16.
83-85
think we also wore the black kit in the 2-0 win against italy in liege 2011.
2011 gets my vote
Honey monster shirt for me.
1983-85 versus 2011 might be the toughest so far. I like the simple retro O'Neill's but the black and green is a bit different and works pretty well. I think I'm leaning towards 83-85 so that's my vote.
Round 5 - 1990
Round 6 - 2004
Round 7 - 2018
Round 8 - 2005
Round 9 - 1983
2011 for me. Arguably the key learning for me from this whole exercise so far is that I don't particularly like white football shirts.
2011 for me. It's not a classic, but it stands out. So far I've leaned towards white kits, but the 83-85 one needs a splash of orange on it.
RD 8: I'll go Dunne Moscow kit, though the other one isn't bad. The home version of the Dunne kit was one of our much better attempts in recent years, nice material.
RD 9: The Keano Carling Cup Conquering Kit, lovely.
83-85.
Nice v-neck, nice colour scheme. great badge,
the other piece of **** reminds me of both nemo rangers and erins isle. and I bleedin' hate Nemo, the scuts.
83-85
Exactly the sort of balanced contribution this competition has been crying out for :DQuote:

I mean, so is the other one?
But votes don't have to be reasoned to count, so in it goes!
The 2005 kit beats the marker effort 8-5 and we'll see it in the last 16. I'll vote for the 2011 kit cos it is a bit striking and the 83-85 kit does need some orange as someone pointed out (the Italia 90 kit was the first time we ever put orange on an away kit I think), and that makes it 6-6, with votes taken until the morning. Then the rest of the weekend off before we resume on Monday morning with two of the oldest kits in the competition.
2011, I usually like retro but the 83 is like a crap GAA jersey
A crucial vote, and it takes 2011 through. Sorry Kingdom. :p
Six more first-round matches starting from Monday, including every decade from the 60s to the 20s, two kits we never worn, and lots of stripes!

Nemo would be nicer if, like the 2011 number, it had black shorts
Right - week 2 so.
Two very retro kits first. An away kit from 78-83 on display in Lansdowne Road v the North, against an away kit from 92-93 on display in Windsor Park v the North.

92-93 for me (such an iconic night)
78-83 is quite snazzy looking, I'll go for that.
That 92/93 Adidas shirt is one of my favourite designs. I picked up a Swedish shirt from the same era and I loved it.
92-93 for me also.
Always remember Brolin and Dahlin in the Swedish blue and yellow equivalent and of course Liverpool as well as other teams had that kit design as well.
