Foot.ie decides - Ireland's best home kit

[nigel-harps1954]

Don't like the way the colours went with NB. Too dark. 06-08 for me.

[John83]

06-08 for me. The gold on the other one just looks wrong.

Hi all! I've barely posted in 10 years but there's nothing like a 'best kit' vote and a match v England to get me back in the mix!

I've missed the vote for WC02 v 03/04... prob would've gone for the WC anyway as its a classic, even though i didn't love the neck or the cut...

92-94 v 98-00: I was never keen on how generic the adidas looked, but there's just far too much going on with the shading on the later kit, its a bit of a mess and even late-90s me didn't like it. So its 92/94 for me.

06-08 v 19-20: Tough choice as i like(d) them both quite a bit. I seem to be in the minority re. the NB effort, but never mind. So i'm voting 19-20

06-08

19-20 for me. I like the all green jersey, shorts, socks. Unusual shade of green but i think it fits with the collar in a sort of 1940s aesthetic

92-94 kit in the earlier match, there was something about those three striped kits that I always liked.

And the Stan kit in the second match up. Mainly because I hate the NB kit.

So that's a 10-4 win for Kevin Sheedy's top, and Gary Breen drops into the repecharge. Still taking votes (and indeed creative terms of abuse) on the third match.

Old v new for the fourth match - it's the 2017-18 kit (with some loops on it I think if you look close enough)



And it's up against what I think might be a heavy-hitter in this - the Italia 90 top (worn through Euro 92 qualifying as well)

My votes...

2002
1992
Current
Italis 90

[the 12 th man]

Italia 90..the shamrock

[Razors left peg]

Italia 90

[passinginterest]

The 17-18 kit is grand and all like, but it has to be the Italy 90 shirt. Has to be short odds for the overall prize too.

[Fixer82]

1990 all day long

[bennocelt]

06-08 in round 3
Italia 90 round 4

[Closed Account 2]

Italia 90, then daylight.

[Eirambler]

Italia 90 - easy one.

[elatedscum]

90. Might vote for the 17-18 in the playoff.

[Eminence Grise]

Italia 90 for me. Something classic and no nonsense about the shape and cut. The vertical stripes in the sleeves add to it.
2017-18 looks like an upmarket t-shirt.

[pineapple stu]

The Stan kit knocks out the current effort on a score of 8-4.

Could blow it up now in the other tie, but we'll stick by the rules and let it run until the evening. (I'll add my vote for Italia 90 though - a classic in the perfect shade of green)

We've another finals kit next up though - the Euro 2012 kit with the hooped socks.



And facing that is the Brian Kerr kit, which nearly got us tot he 2006 World Cup but for an Henry master-stroke (and some dubious tactical decisions which let slip too many leads against Israel)

[Eminence Grise]

By default, the Brian Kerr kit.

Those 2012 socks are hideous, and the alternating shades of green in the wide stripes are just wrong.

[bennocelt]

2006 kit
