seeing as how this is a topical subject at the moment i thought i'd list my 3 favourite kits and the 3 i really didn't like

so ...

best

1) original penguin 71-75
2) Adidas 79-81 yellow away
3) last years sequoia away

worst

1) 92/93 triton paint splash abomination
2) 85/86 red ? in the home kit ????
3) 19/20 home shirt


what's yours

Any of the original home/away adidas shirts late 70's/early 80's

Worst

1) The 1885-90 gold and black kits
2) The 97-98 Penguin shirt - it was made of horrible material
3) The 1999-2000 striped kit.

Best
1) The 1983- 85 Ansells kit with thin stripes and red socks
2) The 1945-1962 kits with the City coast of arms on them. I really like those
3) The white kit worn at Shrewsbury

Best :
Late 70’s round neck silky adidas
80’s patrick white ansells
Mcleish era black f&c kit

Honourable mentions:

15/16 cabrini blue with white sash
This seasons home kit.

Worst:

Triton dolly mixtures
Any penguin style shirt

Best three for me were probably the original penguin (and I like the latest limited edition), the Triton (I think) kit of the 1994-95 season, the bue-blue-white of the late 60's and the first Premier League it.

Dishonourable mentions to the dolly mixture kit, the Karanka-era thing with the white sleeves and the vicar's collar shirt of the 1995-96 shirt,

In passing, I wish we'd stick to a theme (with variations, of course, to sell more kits) - the 'big' clubs tend to and we're on the way there too.

69,all blue white socks proper

1) 94/95 away shirt
2) 93/94 away shirt
3) 2002/2003 home and away

Not sure about best, but I think the 16/17 Adidas home kit is very underrated. Probably due to its associated with the zola era, but that was everything id want in a blues kit.

Only correct answer for worst kit is the 13/14 diadora penguin.

albi

Any of the original home/away adidas shirts late 70's/early 80's

This is 100% correct and far and away the best we have ever had.

Best
Yellow with blue stripes away, think it was 93/94
Red away 94/95
The phones 4u home (first season back in prem)

Worst
Any of the Lonsdale ones
The nicolites penguin
The F&C investments penguin

You know what's an underrated Blues shirt- the blue/dark blue Adidas with the yellow trim. 18/19 I think.

Might have been 19/20 not sure.

Bellingham Kit was 19/20

Add to worst anything with Zapaygo or Nicolites on the front

Dark times

Personally, I absolutely hate the 20/21 home shirt - a mix of the design and the quality being honking.

Loved the 02/03 away, last seasons away, and the new penguin is really up there for me

For me...

Best:

1) 77-82 Adidas Home shirt
2) All versions Ansells shirt
3) 18-19 Yellow Adidas away kit

Honorable mentions...

2011 Cup winning kit
This season


Worst (and there are many!):

1) 13-14 Diadora Nicolites yellow away kit
2) 99-00 Le Coq red stripes away
3) 92-93 Triton Dolly mixtures shirt

Dishonorable mentions:

89-92 ALL the Mark One shirts!
96-97 Pony Red/Black stripes.
