GodlyOtsemobor 2,421 Posted August 8, 2023 (edited) 1: All time favorite shirt - very close between this and the white Colman's away shirt. 2: Favorite home shirt. 3: Favorite away shirt 4: Favorite wacky 3rd shirt. (For the mulumbu lols) 5: first shirt I ever had as a kid. 6/7: Great car boot find. 8: Sentimental shirt - my grandads shirt, wore it to every game he took me to and right through to my adults years with him, he eventually stopped going due to health yet every match day still wore that shirt. So it takes pride of place in my collection. Edited August 8, 2023 by GodlyOtsemobor 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paddycanary 539 Posted August 8, 2023 I have 4 or 5 jerseys & a number of t-shirts but the jewel in the crown is still the 92/93 vintage. It's travelled to numerous continents & is showing its age but still in the cupboard. These days it requires a chisel & putty knife to remove from torso after usage. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Barham Blitz 664 Posted August 8, 2023 It's always difficult to separate out the memories of the season from the feelings about the kit. Hence the 92/93 kit which regularly gets a mention in polls of the worst kits ever released still being fondly remembered by most including me. See also the15/16 promotion season shirt which was one of my least favourites. In terms of pure aesthetics, last seasons shirt was a thing of beauty despite the team being quite the opposite. As a slightly left field choice I also really liked the 21/22 away kit in black and turquoise with the Lotus sponsorship logo, again despite a godawful season. There is definitely some evidence that our performance is inversely proportional to how good the shirt is. Perhaps instead of playing for the shirt some try extra hard to play their way out of bad kits. Leaves me with some cautious optimism for our fortunes this season ... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shefcanary 2,468 Posted August 8, 2023 I'm plumping for the Asics kit as my ultimate favourite, but really rate the white Colman's away kit too. I do have a fondness for the Adidas kits and last years effort, wonderful pin stripe efforts. The admiral efforts of the 70's were iconic but damned uncomfortable to wear. However the Admiral track top was a thing of beauty, the mainly green one with a yellow and green striped upper chest. I saw someone wearing it in Sheffield city centre at the recent UK cycling competition, made a beeline to him and professed my huge jealousy of him having it. This link to a new version of the historic kits site will perhaps trigger a few more memories. Norwich City Kit History - Football Kit Archive 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yobocop 1,105 Posted August 8, 2023 Love the navy one with fluorescent bits on it, be good to see a remake of that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Holt 522 Posted August 8, 2023 This reminds me, i need to pick up the Leo Vegas promotion shirt as it's one I've loved but never owned. Love these threads mate - good idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canarywary 110 Posted August 8, 2023 (edited) 1: All time favorite shirt - has to be the 92-94 egg and cress 2: Favorite home shirt. see above 3: Favorite away shirt - The 94-96 blue tartan one (image below) 4: Favorite wacky 3rd shirt. I do like the Mulumbu one picked by GodlyO above (even if it looks like a rugby shirt to me), but gotta go for the 2016-17 reverse egg and cress one (image below) 5: first shirt I ever had as a kid. - found the 89-91 Asics shirt in a sports shop in Swindon in about 1994 (back when you could buy assorted shirts from previous seasons in sports shops). Was adult size and way too big so I wore it over my puffy ski jacket for my first ever visit to Carrow Road as a 9 year old in 1994! 6. Purchase - finally managed to get hold of the navy 1993-94 UEFA third shirt, which I remember seeing in the shops in Norwich in that season. Cost me a fair amount, from Ukraine of all places. (image below) 7: Sentimental shirt - the 1992-94 white and purple away and the 94-96 GK away shirts were two I had as a kid. It's fair to say I generally prefer the wackier designs, and also anything from when I first started supporting them - the nostalgic connection is too strong. I also like that we pretty much never wore the UEFA one, nor the white and purple away (apparently worn just once in 2 seasons, against Wolves in a cup match?) Back in the days when you only wore your away shirt if you had to. Edited August 8, 2023 by Canarywary 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robert N. LiM 4,545 Posted August 8, 2023 The adidas pinstripe one from the early 80s is probably objectively the best kit, and I loved last year's homage to it. The asics one with the diagonal stripes runs it close - would love to see a similar homage to that. One that hasn't been mentioned above which I have a fondness for is the 86-87 hummel shirt with the green sleeves. Think of it as the Kevin Drinkell shirt. Probably more to do with that being the first season I saw City in the top flight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Faded Jaded Semi Plastic SOB 1,042 Posted August 8, 2023 (edited) No real favourite home kit. Favourite away kits are the green shirt with the Lotus logo and the blue tartan kit with marginal preference for the blue tartan kit.......
