Greatest ever City shirt

[AlansEyes]

My life has clearly become more pathetic over the last couple of years as I have invested a fair bit of time picking up old Cov shirts, with particular attention on the PL-era shirts. Just been sorting them out and was thinking about my favourites and wondered what others thought...

For me, I think the 98/99 shirt is my favourite home shirt. Maybe it's nostalgia or maybe it's that it is just an absolute beaut.



More recently, I'd say the 2019-20 home shirt is right up there as a favourite. I think we are so lucky to have had such varied shirts over the years, would hate to be someone like Everton who just get a plain blue shirt every year.

As for away kits, there's so many great ones. The red 92 shirt, the green and black stripes, that awesome/awful mix of purple and yellow. Stunning.

Anyone else have any thoughts...or is it just me who cares about this?!

I can’t tell you how much I wanted this beauty but sadly my parents couldn’t afford it at the time.

Still love it now.

I go back years and dozens of kits but one of my favourites is the Specials one a couple of seasons ago takeing away the nostalgic angle it’s just a smart shirt design.

Don’t even bother suggesting any other kit from our recent history.

The Umbro Glazepta shirt circa 84. Hummel Granada Bingo away kit 88 Yellow. Asics home Peugeot 91-92. Asics away yellow 1990 ish with the black diagonal stripes The yellow asocs kit which followed. Pony 94 green and black stripes. Le Coq Sportif 98, Subaru, with the outline of the badge on the stripes. Probably my fave kit ever. Goes without saying, the efforts from Hummel over the past couple of years have been amongst the best.

I’ve still got this one. Can’t remember if it’s here with me or at my folks.
Think my favourite is Huckerby’s first season (96-97?). I know it had the dark blue stripes, I just like it!

I wouldn't dare. Best kit of ANY team EVER.

My favourite, think its the shade of blue. Everything after that just seemed a darker skyblue for whatever reason.

I had that one and wore it every day for a fortnight in tenerife. I washed it a bit but it was still crawling by the time i got home.

Our first recent hummel shirt and the 80s one it was based on are up there, otherwise these three

I had the yellow/black away and wish I'd asked for this, ideally massively oversized so that I wouldn't have been able to wear it but could now

Prefer this one to the Subaru one the year after

It was a terrible season and if you don't go a size up the collar will strangle you, but absolutely love it

That middle one was always my fave.

When the subject of coventry city shirts comes up ...it always takes me back to Coventry playing away at Blackburn in 1993 ( please correct me if im wrong - but this always stuck im head ) listening on the radio the Blackburn commentary were saying there shirt is best described as a pink thing & giggling at them selves .....we had the last laugh ...smashing them 5 - 2 .........did we rely on the other commentary away from home in them days ?

Yep, this is the best Cov shirt ever.

I also loved 97/98.

Please see avatar...............end thread (ask @Grendel for confirmation)

I'd love another sky blue and dark blue striped home shirt in the next few seasons.
Last one was that weird puma one

Remember as a youngster the old club shop outside the main stand at Highfield Road having a load of these laid out and selling them for £5.

The first one was my first ever kit, loved it...late 80s?

 

[Skyblueweeman]

This was the 2nd kit I ever owned and probably my favourite. Closely followed by:



The same season that a certain MR was wearing a yellow and green version at Norwich.

Yep, covered the 89/90 and 90/91 seasons

 

[Liquid Gold]

This is just an indication of how old everybody is. Always a kit based in the nostalgia of childhood.

wouldn't mind Pearce in PMQ's

That was my very first kit - it’s definitely up there. Controversial suggestion but I really liked last season’s shirt.

Same here - the 89 90 season

Should always be a contender but my personal favourite - I have a long and short sleeved version (both remakes) is the shirt we wore from 1969 - 1972.
If I knew what I was doing I'd post a pic.

Still got mine. Had my own name put on the back. Person doing it was surprised as at that time no-one had ever asked for anything other than a player name and number
