Everything about that kit was awesome, the x111 badge, umbro kits were high quality, the oversize chevron, the shorts had that nice chequered matt/shiny square pattern one too...

[chuffer]

Was it the 88 one that had thinner blue and red stripes and the trophy sponsor on it though? Thats the one that my retro vintage top (recent purchase) is based on. Wore it at an exeter chiefs game and got loads of compliments about it, even got chatted up by a student lady in a bar who wanted to know what it would take to acquire it from my person?

[Scubby]

Loved this one from Oldham in the late 80s. One of my all time favourites.

Shockingly awful but has to be my fav shirt - Keighley Old Trafford 1995 - just summed up how exilerating it was to be swept up in the Cougarmania Era -totally and utterly bonkers but entirley in keeping with the vibe at Cougar Park in those time  -doesnt look quite as bad witout the yellow star covered shorts though Happy Days

 

[Old Frightful]

This one ain't half bad...

[absentee thoughtlord]

Seems like the consensus so far is a harking back to simplicity. Less is more.

And the sponsors (singular): ICI, British Coal, Norweb, various breweries. There's an honesty there, something tangible.

It's like looking back at a list world when Rugby League understood itself.

But, to answer the question, Warrington early nineties. Straightforward hoops.

The 2001-2003 GB classic made Jersey..

 

 

 

Yeah...I know....shut up...lol

supporters version - the cougar was smaller on the players shirt if my alcohol-fuelled memories of the final serve me correct ..

Its when you know yout teams on the up when several fans travelled to Turkey that year and found knock off versions of the shirt for sale alongside the Man Utd , Real Madrids and Barcelona's of this world

Is it just me or do they look to be wearing unusually tight shorts??

Where's the duct tape across the sponsors name?

[Lapsed Leeds Fan]

You can’t go far wrong with a 1980s three-quarter sleeve. Peter Sterling also never seemed to play in a bad kit.

[ivans82]

Bit of a traditionalist myself Aussie strip and old Hull f C strip......... .this seasons Town away strip isn`t a bad effort .

[Leyther_Matt]

A classic of the genre, Leigh Centurions away strip 1997. So bad, it's good. For reasons I can't remember, I bought it in Medium Adult when I was only 10/11 when it came out, so I've kept it ever since and now that I'm in my 30s it has become my dieting goal to fit in to it!

This is the 'best' Leigh shirt in my mind, 92/93 home shirt.

Personal overall favourite is the 94 GB shirt though, got to be said.

[Harry Stottle]

Apart from the GB shirts with the blue and red chevrons and the iconic Aussie jersey both without any advertising on them, my favourite in the advertising days is the Penrith Panthers DahDah shirt of the late 80's early 90's. 

Picture anyone?

That's always been the key for me. No advertising. I totally understand why they are put on shirts. It doesn't alter the fact that I think they look far nicer without them though.

I've always had a penchant for the rarer shirts. The tour jersey from the 1994 Kangaroo tour has always been a favourite.

... and poncy words.

This one was iconic, can't believe we have never really rehashed this one.

 

This is an alternative one from leftfield:

 

And this was my first ever shirt from Australia, a classic:

 

[Allora]

I like the classic Kangaroo Jersey.

 

 

Or the Kiwi Jersey
