Foot.ie decides - Ireland's best away kit

2002 for me

**passinginterest** · 17/03/2021, 2:25 PM

63 and 2002 for me

1963 gets a few late votes to make the score a respectable hammering, 8-3.

2002 is sauntering home too - bit of an unexpectedly wide margin given how well previous non-white kits have done. Still time for votes for that, though the result isn't in doubt at 12-0.

Meanwhile, the last pairing of the first round sees the Henry handball kit - here modelled by a 72-year-old Robbie Keane - against the Euro 88 away kit, which is so obscure that this is the only photo I can find of it, from our WCQ draw in Hungary later that same year.

Euro 88. The making of a nation etc. Could only be matched by a 1916 away shirt surely

While there are no action shots i can see, this might be a better representation?? (tried to send to you by pm but i cant...)

This gets my vote!

**pineapple stu** · 17/03/2021, 5:26 PM

Cheers! I prefer to get action shots where possible, but certainly this is a bit of an improvement on what I had.

(No idea why you can't send by PM btw!)

I was trying by phone and couldnt see anything but now that i am back at my desktop, seems to be good!!

**DeLorean** · 17/03/2021, 7:28 PM

Stu's jersey for me, the Canadian one.

henry kit for me

**sadloserkid** · 18/03/2021, 3:34 AM

88 by a distance.

**Trequartista20** · 18/03/2021, 6:59 AM

Has to be the '88 kit <3.

**Eirambler** · 18/03/2021, 7:01 AM

88 kit. Very nice.

**passinginterest** · 18/03/2021, 7:38 AM

88 is a classic, would be a shame not to vote it through.

**backstothewall** · 18/03/2021, 7:39 AM

Henry kit

**pineapple stu** · 18/03/2021, 7:54 AM

A 13-0 whitewash as the 2002 kit dumps out the 2008-09 third choice. I don't see it as being a contender for worst kit though, and I don't see 2002 as being a contender for best kit either. Strange one!

I'll leave voting on 88 v 09 open till this evening, and then we'll have the 15 kits which will take part in tomorrow's repechage to decide which kit gets a reprieve, and which kit gets voted our worst ever away kit.

Henry kit for me.
Never understood the netting on the sleeves of the 88 jerseys

**the 12 th man** · 18/03/2021, 8:24 AM

Euro 88

**Eminence Grise** · 18/03/2021, 12:34 PM

Euro 88 for me as well.

**pineapple stu** · 18/03/2021, 5:38 PM

So that's it for round 1, and Euro 88 advances 10-3.

That leaves the repechage. I was going to put this up in the morning, but I'm going to be a bit stuck for time to put up 15 kits, so I'll do it now and let it run for 24 hours.

I think if people vote (in order of preference) up to 3 jerseys to reprieve and put into the last 16, and then nominate their worst 3 (again in order of preference), that'll give us enough votes to ensure a clean winner. No bothers obviously if people just nominate one in each category.

I can only post three images per post, so five posts incoming!

The first batch is 1984, 2018-19, and 1994-96
