It's up there. The one just before that was nice too. The one that came after just looked like a Chelsea kit.

The later version, as he's wearing in the picture, with the Umbro badge on the sleeves, is better than the first.

The Jack kit?
Never owned a City top but my youngest is interested in all the old tops, hence the link. Some great kits in there with great memories. Also there’s some atrocious ones.

Personally think our best kits have always been away ones where we take a bit of a risk. The yellow Joma is up there for me.
If we’re talking home kits only probably 17/18 05/06 and 93/94 are my faves

Absolutely and don’t forget the badge. Simple design. Top notch

The colour of the socks might be an age/generational thing as I always feel City should have blue socks? I'm a 70s/80s kid.

Looking back at Mozzers original pic there was never any yellow until 1977 do must have been Umbro marketing or jazzing up the kit.
It's an iconic kit for City but now the yellow stripe is moithering me for some reason?

The thread title doesn't state 'in the last 40 years' and the 'last 40 years' reference seems to be related to Linden Jones (and I'm not sure what kits he has modelled in those 4 decades). :-)

Dalman is doing a lot right lately, I think he may bring in a modern variation next year.
Not sure if it's the best but it is iconic!

Re: Was this the best kit we have had ?
I like the 91-92 home shirt especially how cool Eddie Newton and Nathan blake looked in it.
Also the sports café 98-99 ome

Shirts with sponsorship logos on them are pretty vulgar, methinks. It's comical how fans pay huge amounts of money for items that are made quite cheaply and then walk around as a free advertising device......

I always turn my Home Bargains and Poundland bags inside out:thumbup:

Re: Was this the best kit we have had ?
In my lifetime, the 1993 kit. Iconic. Also had a soft spot for the gilesports kit of circa 1996.
Oh and the red one, obviously

I had a replica of the gilesports one, what shocking quality. The arms basically fell off! Remember having to ask my gran to sew them back on!

Re: Was this the best kit we have had ?
The 75 to 77 one for me. The first in the series featuring the white and yellow stripe that ran from 75 to 80. It had the strips on side of shorts too. Great kit.

I've still got my scarf from that era. In fact, I wore it yesterday. It's unusual in that the stripes are horizontal. I got it in 1976.

Any kit with yellow on it is immediately one of the worst, after the red kits. It has bugger all to do with Cardiff City, was unpopular at the time and we only had it because it was cheap dead stock from Umbro

The first blue city kit had black socks I believe, then blue. Predominantly white socks didn’t feature for over 40 years.
