euro 88. and not just because of the memories it brings. still have an original at home
Euro 88. just!
Euro 88 all the way
WC 94 for me.
I prefer the 88 kit.
Big lead early doors for Euro 88. Votes still accepted, but it's an 80s derby now (which I think might also be a bit of a mismatch tbh). It's the 85/86 kit, which beat 2012/13 5-3 and then squeaked past the 2006-08 kit 5-4 in what felt an upset to me -

And it's up against the 86/87 kit, which has had a much more commanding time of it, beating 83-85 9-1 and then the reprieved Father Dougal kit 7-2.

Actually, I'll chuck in a vote for Euro 88 too, though I would have voted 94 ahead of it had ye heathens not dumped it out! It still seems a bit plain and Penneysey to me; a t-shirt rather than a proper kit.
I don't like the rugby kit at all, but the all green one is surprisingly nice even though as a rule I don't like the all-green kits. The flash of orange from the crest works well. So Brady for me here.
86-87 but a bit torn. There's something nice about the other shirt, I like the big Shamrock.
Despite coming around to the Euro 88 kit over the years, the WCQ94 kit wins out for me. Simply because it's the one with the most abiding memories.
In the next one, I absolutely hate monochrome kits, so I'll have to go with the 85-86 kit.
88 and 86-87
a draw for me really but will go with 86/87 as the jersey colour is more what it should be. its a much better kit with the white shorts rather than green. i think it generally did have white rather than the green shorts in the photo used
I actually prefer the 85/86,it's classically simple.I like that shade of green over the other one.
94 qualifying and 86/87.
I do like an adidas kit
+1 for the big shamrock kit
I love them both but I'll go for 85-86 as it's simple yet classy and the Liam Brady one there is very similar to Italia 90
WC 94 by a whisker.
85-86 - lovely shade of green and surprisingly pleasing clean lines the more I look at it.
86/87, for me. I agree that the green shorts do it no favours.

Tight result in the first quarter, but the Euro 88 kit manages what its players couldn't do and holds on to progress to the semis.
Votes still taken in the 80s derby, but a clash of styles next. First, it's the Euro 2016 kit, which has beaten the 2014-15 kit 6-2 and the 2010-12 kit 6-3 to get here.

And it's taking on the 78-83 kit, which has beaten the 2008-09 kit 6-2 and the 2021 kit 4-2 to reach this stage.

78-83 for me,not a fan of the collar on the Euro 16 one.
86-87 & 78-83
Also, I feel really bad, as I'd have voted for 06-08 over the 85-86 which would have tied the tie I think. Oops.
Also, please do an away kits thread, please.
Cool. I'll gather them together and probably run it in March, to coincide with the World Cup triple-header games.Quote:

I like the 2016 kit. The colours on the 88 kit look a bit Kerry GAA to me.
78 to 83 thanks. two good kits though
Thanks!Quote:

7-5 the result there in favour of the Brady kit. That was a lot closer than I thought it would be to be honest.
The last quarter-final is up now. I'll leave these run till tomorrow, then the semis will be Thurs/Fri, and Mon/Tues will be the 3rd/4th place play-off and the final.
First up, Steve Finnan sports the 2000/01 WC qualifying kit. It lost in the first round to the Euro 88 kit (10-3), but was reprieved and then beat the USA 94 kit on a tie-break after a 4-4 draw.

And against it, a kit which made getting to the quarters without winning a single match so fashionable in the first place - it's the Italia 90 kit (also used in qualifying for Euro 92). It whitewashed the 2017-18 kit 12-0 in the first round and thumped the 2001-03 kit 7-3 in the second round to make it here.

78-83
If the orange on the Euro2016 kit wasn't of the dayglo variety it was in with a shout. That being said, I'm not a fan of the yellowy orange that we had in the early days either.
This is a case of the least worst winning out cos we all know how much appearing to be from Kerry doesn't agree with me.
I have to plump for the Italia 90 kit. It's just bloody perfect in every goddamn way for a soccer shirt. No contest for me.
2016 and Italia 90, easy decisions
wc 90
Italia 90 without a shadow of a doubt.
Italia 90 for me,that collar on Steve Finnan one is moldy.
1990 & 2016.
Italia 90
+1 for 90
Another really tight result there, but the 2016 kit scrapes through 5-4 with the last vote of the tie. Not all that impressed with the anti-Kerry bias on here, but as an impartial vote-counter in this, all I can do is give ye lot the frowning of a lifetime...
The Italia 90 jersey's winning margin will be confirmed later on today, and then the semis will get underway tomorrow!
You're not one of 'em via jus sanguinis like Kingdom's poor chizzlers, are ya?
I always knew John83 was my favourite of UCD's fans.
