Foot.ie decides - Ireland's best home kit

[John83]

Loves a sublimated design does our stu.

All those years of O'Neill's UCD jerseys.

Speaking of which, does the 2021 ladies top have a girly design that's not on the men's top? Seems a bit... separate but equal.

I'll go with the Brady and the new kit.

Much as I despise the new kit, the other one is just too close to a Kerry jersey.

Um...

Shouldn't you be focussing on some other game right now?

I like the new kit, and the female version look particularly sharp, so i'll vote for that despite the best version of it not being available to me. So that and the Brady shirt for me.

Nah, I was at -5 or something, with no play. I was basically waiting for him to hang something.

There is a different design on the shirt as well as having a different cut in neck and body.

Quick reminder to keep the votes coming in for this one - votes taken until 7:45, when I'll put up the repechage details and we can set about deciding Ireland's worst home kit

It has a different design but is equal in poxiness

As an owner of the 08-10 shirt I'll have to go with it. It's the perfect shade of green as well. Never a fan of the yellowy-gold trim on the old O'Neill's gear.

Due to the rashes that I break out in on seeing the Kerry colours I would have to go for the new kit. That it's more or less a homage to the 2010-12 slice of perfection is a bonus.

In case that's missed:
08/10 and 20/21

Not missed - but doesn't count twice either

Last 30 minutes for these two pairings and I'll post the repechage then.

[pineapple stu]

So the last two matches are decided - 6-2 to the 1978/83 jersey against 2008-09, and an 8-0 whitewash for the current kit against the Kerry top.

That means 14 are through, and 14 are out. The latter 14 go again now - two will get reprieved, and one will be voted Ireland's worst ever home kit. So you can vote for up to three kits to go through, and up to two kits to be the worst ever. Each vote will count for one point, and you don't have to cast all your votes - but the more the merrier as I don't want a case where 4 jerseys all have 2 points at the top.

This is open till this time tomorrow, and then the round of 16 will start on Monday.

So we have (and I can only do three images per post, so this will take a little while) -

In terms of rescuing kits, I'll have to go with the Fr Dougal kit (94/95), the 1998-00 kit, and the 2018-19 kit, which I can only imagine didn't look as nice in real life as it does in that photo.

Worst kit for me - there's too much wrong with the 2012 kit in terms of the clashing green and the hooped socks, and the 96-98 kit is a bit of a mess with the shamrocks on the sleeve and the big FAI stuff too obvious on the front. (I recall the keepers' kits being similarly bad actually - maybe worth a competition at some stage in the future)

Over to everyone else though!

Reprieve: 08-09, 00/01, 12/13.
Worst: 14-15, 18-19.
