Hi blades fans

I though id do a poll to find out the best home kit of the past decade or so the mighty Blades have had. I cant get pics on so ill call then by the year(s) they were worn and i'll try to describe them the best i can!

90-92 (thin red, white, black stripes - laver shirt, blk srts & scks
92-94 (stripes with lace near collor, white shorts & socks)
94-95 (stripes red shoulders, blk shorts with srtipes at bottom)
95-96 (the very unpopular diamond shirt!, blk shorts & socks)
96-97 (playoff season kit - plain red and white stripes)
97-99 (thick stripes - one bold red stripe, black shorts & socks)
99-00 (millennium season kit sponsored by blades)
00-02 (plain patrick kit sponsored by midas)
02-04 (white arms and chest with stripes wht shorts & socks)
04-05 (plain striped shirt, red shorts & and socks)

happy voting!
personally i think the desun kit 02-04 was the best, i partically liked the white shorts and socks!

yeah!! got to agree the 04-05 home kit leaves the others standing!---by the way this seasons looks good also!!

mikeyspikey · 26-08-2005, 18:31

sorry got that wrong!!---i meant to say 02-04!!

smelley_cat1 · 26-08-2005, 19:31

yeah this seasons is a good one - way better than lasts. Its a shame i couldn't fit it on. Thanks for voting mikeyspikey!

Just to be awkward my vote goes for the luminous yellow away kit of around 1990ish. You know the High visibility number much favoured by security, construction workers, stewards and the police. I heard a rumour that at one stage it also took off and was the best selling strip in the far east?

hi frenchfire

i too liked the luminous away kit and i was thinkin of doing an away kit poll shortly so i already know what you wud vote for lol

smelley_cat1 · 29-08-2005, 12:42

not many viters!!!!!!!!

looks like 02-04 will win if no-one else votes!

last season was very nice, and is my choice

did like the desun one though

i think this seasons is awful to be honest.

Can't vote because this seasons is the best looking kit by far

Don_Kiddick · 30-08-2005, 08:35

None!
Call me a triditionalist, but they should have stuck with the 30's-40's style & design

Class, pure class.

That goes for every team with history.

Im gonna go with there really thin red and white stripe one, when we had deano and agana scoring 30 each a season upfront- no idea what year it was im afraid!!!

1988/1989 season. Dave Bassett decided to ditch tradition and go with the thin stripes.

You're right Scott, it's nice to reminisce about this kit and recall some very fond times. Deane and Agana were a class act.

any more votes???

im sure theres more blades out there!

duffman · 01-09-2005, 19:18

Has to be the thin stripes for me only because it was the first shirt I had, was given as a birthday present

I also have a signed photo of the team from that era sent to me by Dave Basset himself with a certain Vinnie Jones's autograph on it

Best home shirt- this season;followed by 96-7.Worst - any between 87 and 92 (narrow stripes).

As I said - I cant vote because you didn't include this seasons kit

LACES looked terrible but cool at the same time.

If I had to stick to the last decade, I'd say the 'Midas' one . The one we wore when we won away at the sty last and when Santos tried to snap Andy Johnson (the crap Welsh West Brom one) in half.
The best ever is my lovely sixties home shirt (from TOFFS) with the Sheff coat of arms & V-neck.
