88 and 94 no question. Maybe the tournament jerseys are just iconic anyway but I didn't like the 00-01 jersey at all, just too shapeless and the Mick shirt has too much going on.
So a big win in the 80s derby as the 86/87 kit wins 8-1.
Votes still open in the 2000/01 v Euro 88 kit clash, but next up, it's a 90s derby. (I won't normally do this on weekends as traffic does be slower, but with a match on tonight I figure there'll be a few around)
First up is the original Mick kit -
And it's up against one of our shortest-lived kits, the 1994 World Cup one -

1994 for me
I’ll go for 1994 but I do like that Roy Keane one, other than the weird backward FAI shading in the jersey
1994 is a cult classic. Not a template, and the little tricolour on the sleeve was superb.
Here they come! It’s the charge of the “Thanks” Brigade!
94 by a mile.... I think the 94 away Jersey is my favorite shirt we've ever had.
94,but I do like both.
Euro 88 by far. I never really liked it as a young lad but have a had a renewed appreciation as I've gotten older.

1994
Unreal set of kits that. Away was nicer tbf. But much better than that second umbro kit.

I hate pinstripes.

Torn on this one. There's more to like overall on the '94WC jersey, but the collar looks like a St Patrick's Day rosette you'd slap on a a child going out to play the tin whistle in the town parade. The eyes just keep turning towards it.
I really like the sleeve on the Mick kit - I think there's something about a kit that squares off the shoulders and makes the wearer look more aggressive, and that's steered some of my earlier votes - but it looks like graffiti on the front. More Mick woz ere than Banksy, unfortunately.
So... '94, no MickKittie's, no...
Alright: '94.
Hello, hello? What's going on? What's all this shouting, we'll have no trouble here!
- E Tattsyrup.
Another result in - 1988/90 10-3 2000/01.
Usual story re the 90s derby - votes still taken as we move on to a real generation gap now. First up, the 2018/19 kit, the one before the current one -
And it's up against the oldest kit in the tournament, this effort from 1976-78 -
A reminder here that it's the kit people are voting on, not the hair.
76/78,absolute quality strip.
Is there a better photo available of the Johnny Giles one?
Folding my way into the big money!!!
I think it's this one?
76/78 no question

76/78. It's old-fashioned, but at least it's not exactly the only shade of green I don't associate with Ireland. That 18/19 strip looks like someone tried to talk the design team around to fluorescent green and settled on a compromise.
You can't spell failure without FAI
1976-78
