I remember chatting with my mate between the barbecue finishing and the match build up starting on champions league final day last summer at mine, about the player you immediately associate with any given shirt.

 

not necessarily the best, or even the player you most liked, but the one that just straight away jumps into mind when you see it.

 

for example, the 93-95 kit above screams Nigel Clough at me straight away. I want it to be Fowler, or Rush, but it’s not. It’s Clough.

 

So here’s some more from the nineties into the early 2000s...

 

 

 

Ronnie Rosenthal.
 

 

this should really be the diamond one, but still... John Barnes.

 

Rob Jones

 

 

Mike Marsh

 

 

Don Hutchison or Torben Piechnik

 

 

Steve McManaman

 

 

Nigel Clough

 

 

Robbie Fowler

 

 

Stan Collymore

 

 

Patrik Berger

 

 

Michael Owen

 

 

Vegard Heggem

 

 

Gary McAllister or Vladimir Smicer

 

 

Stephane Henchoz

 

 

Steven Gerrard

The green on it just stinks of mediocrity of the 90's. Get rid.

And that's the very goal you associate with him too.

 

I can't remember another.

West Ham at home,just after his Dad died,I think?

[Grinch]

He scored a few belters.   Fucked if I can remember who they were against. 

[Pete]

It'd look better if the green was replaced with yellow. 

I do think NB got it just right this season though. 

[No2]

Where the kits always shit when we were shit or do we just associate good times with good kits? If we won the league in 1993 would we all love that monstrosity? It can't be just a coincidence that all the kits we won things in are boss ( apart from 2005, that was rank).

The internet is awash with people moaning about generic template kits. Well, our great kits of the 60s, 70s and 80s, 1984 included, were exactly that.

I'd rep this all day! As Pete posted, yellow - yes. They can repackage it as 'teale' but it will always represent '90s mediocrity green, and shit beer, for me.

Come on, Tony, there was only so much they could do with a sewing machine and a bucket of dye back then.

Ha ha. My point is, mate, unique doesn’t necessarily mean good.

[Bjornebye]

The stripe down the sides can fucking fuck off 

[Grinch]

Every kit with standard chartered plastered across the front looks shite. 

 

Kids and morons will buy it regardless what it looks like.

Yeah can picture myself wearing that around the house this time next year. We will be 35 points clear but there's concerns that an asteroid will hit the earth. Mancs and the Ev will be hoping it's a full on collision though.

And yet it is still miles better than the centenary shirt from 1992/93, which is the worst home shirt ever.

Nah. The earlier one is a bit better, by virtue of the fact that there's a greater proportion of red to stripes. I barely even accept that mid-90s abomination as a Liverpool shirt: it's an Adidas shirt, with a Liverpool badge chucked on as an afterthought.

Is that supposed to be pukka or another made up design? Looks incredibly similar to last year's NB strip Im surprised if NB dont sue them for copyright!

Same, however he was so shite I could picture him but couldn't remember his name.

Loved that Candy kit. Reminds me of John Barnes.
