00/01. I can't stand the pattern on the Italia 90 shirt. I know, sacrilege.
Surely that merits some sort of ban from the forum? Shocking statement. I can't take any post you ever make again seriously.Quote:

It matters not though - a thumping 8-1 victory for the Italia 90 kit sees it safely through. We're down to four kits now - three of which span the time from 1986 to 1992. The first semi will go up tomorrow morning, and the second will go up on Friday. Stay tuned!
I would. You're all a shower of b***tards!Quote:

I wonder how much nostalgia influences voting, considering the bias towards one of the more successful periods for the team?Quote:

But we have our first semi-final going live now. This, I get the feeling, could be the final. But it's not. Ye have to decide at this early stage between the Euro 88 kit and the Italia 90 kit...

Routes to the semi -
1988-90
Bt 2000-01 10-3
Bt 1976-78 8-0
Bt 1992-94 6-4
1990-92
Bt 2017-18 12-0
Bt 2001-03 7-3
Bt 2000-01 8-1
(Interesting to note they've both knocked out the WC2002 qualifying kit actually)
Both brilliant in their own right, but 90-92 has the edge for me. The added pattern is not too in your face and adds a bit of dynamism and the collar and fit are slightly better than the 88 shirt.
I don't think much of the Euro 88 kit tbh. I'm surprised it got this far and I was really disappointed it beat the 92-94 kit which is much better imho.Quote:

Euro 88 for me.
Italia 90
Votes can't be accepted from forum members who are awaiting suspension for very obvious awful tastes in kit, surely?
Italia (italy!) 90. just about though
You disgust me.Quote:

FWIW, that account is now suspened.
Getting suspended from reddit almost impressive.

Still taking votes until the morning don't forget, when we'll have the result and go live with the second semi-final.
So 6-3 it is in favour of Italia 90.
In the final, it'll meet either the Euro 2016 kit or the 86-87 kit -

86/87, I voted for 16 in the last round against my better judgement, the more I see it the less I like it.

I hate all green kits and I hate that dayglo orange.
I'll plump for Euro2016. Just about.
Neck and neck all the way, but the 86/87 kit shaded it 4-3 to make the final. Have to say, I didn't see an all-green kit making the final at the start of this!
Before that though, Monday will kick off with the third-fourth place play-off, and then Tuesday is the day when Ireland's best ever home kit (of the colour photo era...) is decided.
86-87
Agreed. +1 for 86/87Quote:

So - World Cup qualifying draw today and a third-fourth place play-off. It's almost like Christmas has come early!
Presenting for your consideration - Euro 88 v Euro 2016

1988-90
Beat 2000-01 10-3
Beat 76-78 8-0
Beat 92-94 6-4
Lost to 90-92 6-3
Euro 2016
Beat 2014-15 6-2
Beat 2010-12 6-3
Beat 1978-83 5-4
Lost to 1986-87 4-3 (or 6-3 if late votes are counted!)
I'll start off with a vote for Euro 2016. Two nice kits, but I think 2016 has just the right amount of orange, a nice shade of green, a bit of background design, and it doesn't look like a Penney's special.
Euro 88 my vote.
i own both. the one i was happiest with at the time i purchased was euro 88 so I will go with that.
BTW, think the euro 88 shirt cost £20.
