Speaking of which, does the 2021 ladies top have a girly design that's not on the men's top? Seems a bit... separate but equal.Quote:

Much as I despise the new kit, the other one is just too close to a Kerry jersey.

I like the new kit, and the female version look particularly sharp, so i'll vote for that despite the best version of it not being available to me. So that and the Brady shirt for me.
Nah, I was at -5 or something, with no play. I was basically waiting for him to hang something.Quote:

There is a different design on the shirt as well as having a different cut in neck and body.Quote:

It has a different design but is equal in poxiness :)Quote:

Last 30 minutes for these two pairings and I'll post the repechage then.
So the last two matches are decided - 6-2 to the 1978/83 jersey against 2008-09, and an 8-0 whitewash for the current kit against the Kerry top.
That means 14 are through, and 14 are out. The latter 14 go again now - two will get reprieved, and one will be voted Ireland's worst ever home kit. So you can vote for up to three kits to go through, and up to two kits to be the worst ever. Each vote will count for one point, and you don't have to cast all your votes - but the more the merrier as I don't want a case where 4 jerseys all have 2 points at the top. :)
This is open till this time tomorrow, and then the round of 16 will start on Monday.
So we have (and I can only do three images per post, so this will take a little while) -

In terms of rescuing kits, I'll have to go with the Fr Dougal kit (94/95), the 1998-00 kit, and the 2018-19 kit, which I can only imagine didn't look as nice in real life as it does in that photo.
Worst kit for me - there's too much wrong with the 2012 kit in terms of the clashing green and the hooped socks, and the 96-98 kit is a bit of a mess with the shamrocks on the sleeve and the big FAI stuff too obvious on the front. (I recall the keepers' kits being similarly bad actually - maybe worth a competition at some stage in the future)
Over to everyone else though!
Reprieve: 08-09, 00/01, 12/13.
Worst: 14-15, 18-19.
Reprieve 03/04 ,17/18,00/01
Worst 1985,2012.
worst ever: 2012
reprieve: 1998/99 2017/18 2018/19
Reprieve: 1998-00, 2000/01, 1994-95
Worst ever: 1996-98, 2020
So there's votes in now for every kit bar one, and one kit has been both nominated for a reprieve and as worst kit. Both categories have outright leaders at the moment, so it's taking shape - but votes taken all today to finalise the lat 16.
reprieve: 94-95; 08-09; 98-00
Worst: 2012; 2020
Save: 83-85, 94-95, 12-13
Worst: 03-04, 85
Just under two hours to go here - and no ties in either category at the moment!
Best kit: 2001, 2018 and 1996
worst kit: 2012
Worst ever – 83-85 pinstripe, 85 Kerry (goddlemighty! Seeing that, 2012’s hoopy socks look like Hugo Boss!)
Worth another look – 96-98, 00-01, 12-13.
OK, we have a result.
Topping the reprieve request with five votes is the 2000-01 kit -

We then have a tie for the second spot between the 94/95 and the 98/99 kit. This now is awkward because I'd noted at the start that the tie-break was to remove my vote (as an effective de-casting vote) - but I voted for both kits.
So feck it, an executive decision is needed, and the best reason for keeping a kit throughout the tournament so far was for the 94/95 kit -

So Father Dougal wins it for the 94/95 kit, and 98/00 is narrowly eliminated.
The worst vote, though, is much clearer. The Kerry kit picked up 3 votes, but clear in the lead, and your worst Ireland kit of the past 45 years, is -

So we have 16 left. I'll start the knock-outs on Monday morning on the same basis as before. The draw will be an open draw, except that reprieved kits can't meet the kits that just knocked them out. The last 16 will run next week, and we may get the competition concluded the week after. So another two weeks to go to find Ireland's best home kit of all time!
Funnily enough, the worst one is the only shirt I actually own! I won it in a competition to be fair. The shirt itself is grand, I think the socks swing it in terms of being a bad kit overall.
Did the guy who came second win two kits, PI?
In fairness those hooped socks would kill the coolest jersey of all time.

OK - let's get back down to business here.
No more reprieves - once a kit is gone, it's gone. Those kits that complain about a tough draw - well, the best kit won't be losing to any other one by definition.
First up is a doozy I think - it's two of our World Cup kits going head-to-head. Italia 90 v Japan/Korea 2002.

Next bout online this evening.
italia 90 thanks
Italia 90.
Italia 90, the fact it still looks pretty modern means it was just a damn good design in the first place.
