2005 and 1990.
The 1990 one is better.
I was going to say current kit. Just because I thought someone should. But Razor's Left Peg has already done that.
So 1990.
A great tussle in the first match, but it's the 2005 shirt that pulls away in the second half to win 9-5 and be our first quarter-finalist.
I could put Italia 90 v child of Italia out of its misery, but I'll play by the rules and keep it open until the evening.
In the meantime though, paging CraftyToePoke to the thread as the reprieved Euro 2012 kit makes its entrance. And again it's drawn a finals kit, this time the Euro 2016 kit.

Is there a way of resizing images btw so it doesn't appear that I'm blatantly encouraging votes for 2016 (which I'm not!)?
Tempted to abstain because I don't like either of them. 2016 maybe just edges it (because of the massive picture! Maybe.).
1990 and 2016
2016. 2012 puts me in mind of dungarees with one of the straps undone.
Yeah. It takes a minute, but it's not too bad.Quote:

That seems to have worked.
Save the image to your computer. Resize it in MS Paint or another tool. Save. Upload the resized image on imgur. Use the imgur version in your post.
2012 easily enough for me. It was supposed to make my 'retrieve list' actually, not sure what happened there.
Much better memories of the 2016 kit of course.
1990
2016
2012 for me too. I'm appalled at (and marking the card of) all of you who vote differently. Though I enjoyed the dungarees quip.
2016.
Makes sense that the Limerick skids would like the half-strapped dungaree look.
I hate Dexy's Midnight Runners though. 'Come On Eileen' might be the worst rock song ever written, beyond dislikable and easy to despise - the Izzy Akinade of melody.Quote:

You're not helping me out here with the two images Mr Pineapple Sir, an iconic high of the sides history Vs three lads wishing they were anywhere else.Quote:

Have to be honest here and say I thought the Italy game was the only time we wore it, and that was 90 minutes of our players wishing they were somewhere else.
But it seems we did wear it in the friendlies either side of Euro 2012, against Hungary and Serbia. 0-0 draws so mundane I had forgotten about them entirely. (Possibly travelling the world at the time didn't help)
I'll split with you - I prefer the 2016 kit because I think 2012 is too dark a shade of green; the same problem we saw in the home kit comp. But I won't vote. How's that? :)
2012.
As much as I would like to say no no, you vote away my good man, I'm going to go along with that & good man ;)Quote:

The green hoops were different and classy
2012 is just a white shirt with a green stripe running down the left tit.
Well my vote is only ever a casting vote, so it was a something or other of a promise really. A wotsitcalled - where it sounded like I was promising something good but I wasn't really :)Quote:

2012. Something about the open collar and the vertical stripe that gives it a bit of presence.
Almost neck and neck between 2016 and 2012 as we head into the second half of that battle.
Not quite neck and neck between 2021 and 1990 - 13-1 the final score there and the Italia 90 kit canters on to the last 8.
Next up - the never-worn 1998-00 third kit, which goes up against the USA 94 kit.

2016 and my all time favorite 94.
My father actually has the 94 kit signed by every one of the 94 squad. Met them all in Orlando through some competition. It was worn to matches for years and been through multiple washes so the signatures are not as pristine as they should be!
I like the never worn 98-00.
I like both quite a lot but will go for 1994 here.
I don't much like either of the next lot, so I'm going to abstain from voting.
1994.
Considered doing the same but will throw my meagre weight behind the 98-00 one.Quote:

1994 for me
Euro 2016 and USA 1994 for me.
98-00
Really nice jersey
The green diamond at base of collar.
The tricolour trimmings.
The slightly darker collar.
Class!

Now now, Cornette has some use still. His interviews are still gold and somewhat relevant.Quote:
