So a big win in the 80s derby as the 86/87 kit wins 8-1.
Votes still open in the 2000/01 v Euro 88 kit clash, but next up, it's a 90s derby. (I won't normally do this on weekends as traffic does be slower, but with a match on tonight I figure there'll be a few around)
First up is the original Mick kit -

And it's up against one of our shortest-lived kits, the 1994 World Cup one -

88 and 94 no question. Maybe the tournament jerseys are just iconic anyway but I didn't like the 00-01 jersey at all, just too shapeless and the Mick shirt has too much going on.
1994 for me
This one for me, in spite of those ludicrously big sleeves making it look suspiciously like Houghton was remotely operating Paul McGrath after discovering he'd gotten into the alcohol-based sleep medication.Quote:

I’ll go for 1994 but I do like that Roy Keane one, other than the weird backward FAI shading in the jersey
86/87
88/90
1994
1994 is a cult classic. Not a template, and the little tricolour on the sleeve was superb.
94 by a mile.... I think the 94 away Jersey is my favorite shirt we've ever had.
94,but I do like both.
Euro 88 by far. I never really liked it as a young lad but have a had a renewed appreciation as I've gotten older.
1994
Unreal set of kits that. Away was nicer tbf. But much better than that second umbro kit.
86/87
I hate pinstripes.
Torn on this one. There's more to like overall on the '94WC jersey, but the collar looks like a St Patrick's Day rosette you'd slap on a a child going out to play the tin whistle in the town parade. The eyes just keep turning towards it.
I really like the sleeve on the Mick kit - I think there's something about a kit that squares off the shoulders and makes the wearer look more aggressive, and that's steered some of my earlier votes - but it looks like graffiti on the front. More Mick woz ere than Banksy, unfortunately.
So... '94, no MickKittie's, no...
Alright: '94.
Another result in - 1988/90 10-3 2000/01.
Usual story re the 90s derby - votes still taken as we move on to a real generation gap now. First up, the 2018/19 kit, the one before the current one -

And it's up against the oldest kit in the tournament, this effort from 1976-78 -

A reminder here that it's the kit people are voting on, not the hair.
76/78,absolute quality strip.
Is there a better photo available of the Johnny Giles one?
I think it's this one?

76/78 no question
76/78. It's old-fashioned, but at least it's not exactly the only shade of green I don't associate with Ireland. That 18/19 strip looks like someone tried to talk the design team around to fluorescent green and settled on a compromise.
