Just one vote in at the end as 1998-2000 edges 2020 6-5. That's the same score as it currently stands between 1994 and 2012 - but votes taken till tomorrow am.
Next up is the oldest kit in either the home or away tournaments - from 1963 - against another non-white effort from 2013/14

13/14 for me.
13 / 14
13/14
13/14 other looks like a bad Dunnes effort
Close one but I'll go for 1963
I absolutely loved the 1994 kit when I was 12, it hasn't aged as well as I thought looking at it now but it gets my vote for the nostalgia value at least.
Will go for 13/14 from the latest match.
13/14 here too
13/14
1994 edges the battle of the stripes so on a 7-5 scoreline.
One-way traffic in the 63 v 13 match, and our first hammering on the cards. The last first round pairings are up today, starting with another never-worn kit (so ignore the eircom logo) against a jersey worn at a major finals. It's the 2008-09 third choice kit against the 2002 World Cup away.

2002.
02 away out of those two.
2002 but I wouldn't be a fan of either of them.
02 if I have to pick one. Few bad v bad going on with classic being drawn v another classic, bit of a shame.
2002. I liked the bit of navy with the green shorts.
I’ve already stated my disdain for luminous, so that immediately rules out the other one
13/14
2002. 19 years later I still have this one, and amazingly it still fits.
2002.
I’ll go 2002
'63 and 2002.
I tried imagining 2013/14 with a pair of Skstu's boxers but I wasn't convinced. It's my new gut test.:D
2002 is a nice kit, but it was a brilliant kit to wear and fitted really well. One of the few kits I miss.
2002 for me
63 and 2002 for me
1963 gets a few late votes to make the score a respectable hammering, 8-3.
2002 is sauntering home too - bit of an unexpectedly wide margin given how well previous non-white kits have done. Still time for votes for that, though the result isn't in doubt at 12-0.
Meanwhile, the last pairing of the first round sees the Henry handball kit - here modelled by a 72-year-old Robbie Keane - against the Euro 88 away kit, which is so obscure that this is the only photo I can find of it, from our WCQ draw in Hungary later that same year.

Euro 88. The making of a nation etc. Could only be matched by a 1916 away shirt surely :)
While there are no action shots i can see, this might be a better representation?? (tried to send to you by pm but i cant...)
This gets my vote!

Cheers! I prefer to get action shots where possible, but certainly this is a bit of an improvement on what I had.
(No idea why you can't send by PM btw!)
I was trying by phone and couldnt see anything but now that i am back at my desktop, seems to be good!!
2002 for me too
And 88 on the other
Stu's jersey for me, the Canadian one.
henry kit for me
88 by a distance.
Has to be the '88 kit <3.
88 kit. Very nice.
88 is a classic, would be a shame not to vote it through.
Henry kit
A 13-0 whitewash as the 2002 kit dumps out the 2008-09 third choice. I don't see it as being a contender for worst kit though, and I don't see 2002 as being a contender for best kit either. Strange one!
I'll leave voting on 88 v 09 open till this evening, and then we'll have the 15 kits which will take part in tomorrow's repechage to decide which kit gets a reprieve, and which kit gets voted our worst ever away kit.
Henry kit for me.
Never understood the netting on the sleeves of the 88 jerseys
Euro 88
Euro 88 for me as well.
So that's it for round 1, and Euro 88 advances 10-3.
That leaves the repechage. I was going to put this up in the morning, but I'm going to be a bit stuck for time to put up 15 kits, so I'll do it now and let it run for 24 hours.
I think if people vote (in order of preference) up to 3 jerseys to reprieve and put into the last 16, and then nominate their worst 3 (again in order of preference), that'll give us enough votes to ensure a clean winner. No bothers obviously if people just nominate one in each category.
I can only post three images per post, so five posts incoming!
The first batch is 1984, 2018-19, and 1994-96
