Foot.ie decides - Ireland's best away kit

How'd you do that smiley?

May as well throw in my vote before the second match goes live. I like the orange one. Actually like it. It's different and striking and it's better than a lot of the plain white stuff we've worn down the years. So I'll vote for it too.

Bit of a spurt for the Macedonia kit there - five straight votes gives it a 9-4 lead. Still taking votes until 8:30am tomorrow though, and in the meantime, here's a more traditional battle as your round 2. It's the 2018/2019 against the Euro 2016 away kits.

Over to ye!

**Eirambler** · 08/03/2021, 4:56 PM

2016 for me. Better shirt, better memories.

**Razors left peg** · 08/03/2021, 5:46 PM

83/ 84 on the 1st one.

The 2nd one bit more difficult. Probably unfair to put one against the other so early!!! Would go with the 2016, but its very very close. The other is a really nice shirt, the bit of orange on the shoulders makes it.

There will be a reperchage at the end of this - so there will be a reprieve for a jersey at the end of the round. The draw is an open one, but to be the best, you've got to beat the best!

euro 2016 for me

**elatedscum** · 08/03/2021, 7:48 PM

euro 2016 i think, maybe just cause of the memories. pretty similar level

**CraftyToePoke** · 08/03/2021, 7:58 PM

2016.

**the 12 th man** · 08/03/2021, 8:41 PM

83/84 in the first one and I'll give the 2016 a vote in the second one as there's not a whole lot in it between the 2 of them.

**Kingdom** · 08/03/2021, 9:09 PM

Macedonia for me too.

**Kingdom** · 08/03/2021, 9:10 PM

I hate both kits in match 2. toss them both off.

Wouldn't mind something off the wall like orange and white stripes or something different. Our away kits have been plain white for too long now and the flirting with the black/grey kits didn't work either.

Yes I've no issue with an orange jersey. But not a luminous one.

**Fixer82** · 08/03/2021, 9:49 PM

2016 jersey for me in Round 2.

Umbro pulled it out of the bag at the end of their tenure with us with two of their best efforts for that tournament.
There was a 3rd kit iirc that had luminous yellow green and grey or something to that effect. Glad it never saw the light of day.

Much of a muchness in two kits from so close together. Flips coin. 2018-19. Well, so be it. Don't think either will go far.

**geysir** · 08/03/2021, 10:16 PM

I'm giving both of them a Norway, null points.

At least I make the effort to abstain.

**ColourfulPeanut** · 08/03/2021, 10:54 PM

Euro 2016. Hoops were a bit different so it wins for that!

**DCWA** · 08/03/2021, 11:52 PM

Macedonia and Euro 2016 pour moi

**Colbert Report** · 09/03/2021, 2:36 AM

83/84 and 18/19 for me, thanks.

**sadloserkid** · 09/03/2021, 6:13 AM

18/19 for me in second tie but they're both meh.

**pineapple stu** · 09/03/2021, 7:07 AM

Strong evening voting there, at the end of which the Macedonia top beats the pinstripe effort 11-7. That's I think the biggest score we've had in one of these, so hopefully bodes well for the rest of the tournament!

Looking good for the Euro 2016 kit in the second match, but there's still all day to vote in that and give your views.

In the meantime, match 3. It's the current (as yet unworn) kit inspired by Italia 90, and it's up against another orangey effort, this time from 94-95 and only worn twice as far as I can see but with a 100% record - wins against Holland and Bolivia.
