I like a lot of O'Neill's efforts but there's no contest here
On a sidenote, these retro jersey debates are the most enjoyable thing about being an ROI fan these days
I like the 78-83 kit but it's hard to beat the 92/93, peak nostalgia era. So 92/93 gets the vote.

Folding my way into the big money!!!
92/93
78 / 83
The other one wouldn't get half the love but for the era it featured in. Its about the kit supposedly, not the games the kits were worn in ?
i like the retro kits generally, particularly the early Ireland 80s kits, but the 78 kit yellow is dreadfulOriginally Posted by CraftyToePoke
This is the toughest choice for me to date. Ill go with the 78-83 as it is a classic look. You'd wear it today with a pair of jeans but the 92/93, youd wear with your boxers eating cereal on the couch on a Saturday morning.
92-93, and it isn't close. Classic kit.

Coming late to this, and it may have been answered already, but has anyone done a historical gallery of Ireland kits?
78-83. I dont know if its just the picture you chose but it looks really sharp
That'd spoil the fun!
Historicalkits.co.uk or the Irish football kits museum are your best bets - though the former is drawings of them, not actual kits.
Well, that's an indelible image burned on my retina today. Memo to self: if SkStu ever invites me round to Saskatchewan on a Saturday morning, don't overdress. Bring cereal.
My vote goes the same way as it happens - 78-83 for me.
(BTW, had to view page source again to see this image.)
Hello, hello? What's going on? What's all this shouting, we'll have no trouble here!

A twitter image again - so that's the issue. I might put up the link with it in future. Or the easier way to fix it would be to vote it out
Two more to mull over while the retro battle runs its course.. The first a never-worn away kit from 1998-00, and the second the most recent away kit, here seen in an annoying set-up where the home team wore their away kit to avoid a clash of colours.
98 / 00
Bit different, and would hide spilled beers, blim holes etc a lot better in ongoing use.
Same - 98/00
98/00
Loved that jersey but it was never worn. Cos it was never needed unfortunately. Think we nearly always wore green in that period due to our opponents
1998 for me
Round 1: 92-93 for me
Round 2: I’d go with the current jersey, just because the other wasn’t worn, doesn’t really feel real to me until it’s been used
current away kit
Current away.
Current away though it was the toughest call yet for me.
