All over bar the shouting. 75-78 playing possession football, knocking it around at the back. Hopefully the ref will do the decent thing and blow up early.

Better put this out there before it turns into whitewash!

I appreciate that a lot of this is about the era that each of us grew up in, but whilst the 97/98 kit is a pretty good one, it can hardly be an iconic one for the Sky Blues.

The dark blue stripe works in itself (see previous season's effort), but it's got too much going on for me.

White stripe (again, ok itself) and big crest (doesn't work at all, imo) with the sponsor (a good one), actual crest and manufacturer's logo on top just make it a cluttered mess. Less is often more. Here they've chucked the kitchen sink at it.

I like the shorts also like the Mancini chech with the navy blue instead of white, very novel.

97-98 is my era and I loved watching the likes of Huckerby, Whelan and Dublin.

But in all conscience I can't say that kit is better than 75-78.

Taken from the Cov Telegraph archives. Tragic thing is, the caption to this picture spells Hutch's name with an "n". Words fail me.

I went for 97/98 as a protest vote, because the real GKOAT (96/97) is not represented here.

Wait, is this how Reform are doing so well?

This is what you call a kit.

Sorry 97-98 is very much my team, but purely on aesthetics the old kit is the winner here.

It is looking increasingly likely that it will be left to 87/88 to put these old men in their place.

Tbf it was worth voting for 97/98 just to have the old boys reaching for the blood pressure tablets for 10 minutes yesterday morning

If nothing else it should be a pointer to future retro range I'd have thought! I'm happy with that.
