Foot.ie decides - Ireland's best home kit

[pineapple stu]

I think the popularity of the 92/94 kit would be down to it being released during our formative years for those of us in our mid-to-late 30s.

I barely recall 1988, remember 1990 just, Euro92 qualifying passed me by, but WC94 qualifying is still vivid to this day.

I'd be a similar vintage (shall we say!) - Euro 88 is the earliest games I remember. But even still, that kit never did it for me. I think it's because the Italia 90 kit was so unique (and Euro 88 was very similar), and then we came along just copying Liverpool's effort (and, as tets noted, a few others too)

But everyone to their own in this thread of course!

That's not the 2021 photo you used before? That one is very unflattering. I'm going to sit out this round.

You're right actually - I used the promo shot the first time, and this is the Elvery's shop listing. Will leave it be sure; might look at it in the next round if it gets through.

So the 94-95 kit is dumped out (again). 7-2 the score in favour of 86-87.

While the old v new battle continues, two more to add to the mix. Is it to be the Euro 2016 kit or the 2010-12 kit to reach the quarters?





I'll start the bidding by pointing to the hoops and lack of orange trim on the 2010-12 kit. So 2016 an easy winner for me here.

[the 12 th man]

10-12 for me.

I'll go 2016 too, not mad about it but there's something about the 10-12 kit that just doesn't sit right with me.

2010-2012 has to go thought for me.

Best kit we had since 1990.

2016 for me. I like the jersey a lot, but those socks have finally cost it my vote!

[Razors left peg]

2016, lovely kit

[Fixer82]

2016. Great kit.
Followed closely by the 2010 kit.

Love them both!

[BonnieShels]

I don't get the ire for hooped socks.

I'm judging all of these on the shirt first and foremost.

[backstothewall]

I vote our current kit, and 2010/12.

[jbyrne]

euro 2016 kit for me.
thought the 2016 away kit was very good also

Very quiet round there! 4-2 the final score in favour of the 1978-83 kit.

The final two round-of-16 ties will be going live today, with a finals kit in each match. First up is the Euro 88 kit (used in qualifying for Italia 90 as well), and it takes on the oldest kit in the tournament from 76-78.

[the 12 th man]

Euro 88.

[Eminence Grise]

Euro 88 for me as well.

[jbyrne]

euro 88

[John83]

88

Has to be 88, looks like this one will be a whitewash.

[EAFC_rdfl]

88 too

[pineapple stu]

6-3 there in favour of the Euro 2016 kit, and it's safely through to the last 8.

Euro 88 is all but through too, but sure we'll leave it open for the chance of a late rally, a bit like playing out the last 15 minutes of the recent Ireland-England game.

The final tie of this round is another finals kit against the second of our reprieved kits. It's the 1994 jersey against the kit which got us to the 2002 World Cup.
