Title: Favourite kits of the past decade?
Post by: BrightonRed on Sunday, June 5, 2005, 13:52:46
Seeing Whits' signed Mizuno kit from 96 has made me think about my favourite kits of the past decade (ie 94/95 and later).

For the home kit it's a toss up between last seasons and the 02/03 one, although the 02/03 kit felt like you were wearing a jumper so i'll plump for last seasons.. there was something classy in it's minimalism! Although it had to be worn with the red shorts..

For the away I'm gonna go for this blue and black number from 95/96 & 96/97. I wore this shirt absolutely thread bare!

And for the 3rd I'm gonna go for the lovely petrol green from 96/97, gutted I never bought it to be honest.

I have got both those away kits. I had 10 Allison on the back of the blue and black and thorne 9 on the back of the green! I also had the home one in our championship winning season with 6 Horlock.

Quite like the black and blue striped away one as well!

last seasons home kit was best. IthinkIt looks a little better when they wear RED shorts instead of white.

I still have the red & white pinstripe effort that fits me as well as the day I bought it.  Still wear it to play footie.

How many times did we wear the green castrol kit with the Div 2 Champions on it.  I recall us wearing it as Selhurst Park when we beat Palace that year.  Mainly remember that match for Talia sprinting 60 yards to get involved in a punch up near the halfway line.

I have the bright yellow GWR kit somewhere.  Also have the old home kit with the Div 4 Champs crest on it.  Sadly it no longer fits.

Can someone remind me why Lotto once manufactured the kit of Swindon Town?


Title: Favourite kits of the past decade?
Post by: Simon Pieman on Sunday, June 5, 2005, 21:43:45
I believe Billy Connelly had something to do with it. When lotto withdrew from being the kit manufacturer he dyed his beard purple in protest.

Personally I think that pretty much none of our kits, since probably the GWR one, can get anywhere near last seasons.  The cut was nice, the colour was good, and the overall style was just lovely.

When you compare it to, for example, the one Cuervo is wearing in LGC'c current avarter, there is no contest.  That shirt was horrid to wear.

yeah that shirt was crap. it was really itchy & heavy & the tips of the collar always started curling back (like in my avatar). i hated the one from a few years ago with a really low neckline aswell. gay.

The 'Cuervo' avatar one was my first kit, but I agree it was poor.

The lotto away kit was the best, I had Grazioli 10 on mine!

Will have to go for last season's home kit as no other comes close really!

For some reason I always think of either Keith O'Halloran or the Rotherham game where Danny and Woan scored great goals and we won 2-1
