The one Robinho is wearing is the best Umbro shirt for me

Has to be the 2009/10 home shirt for me. Simple, but classic and elegant. I think Umbro's problem once they started doing our kit again was that they did the first one too well. Obviously the kit needs to be sufficiently different each season to encourage people to buy it, but you can't really improve that one.

This to me is our ultimate kit. Not only the best Umbro have ever done but our best ever kit, everything about it was perfection.

THANK YOU UMBRO. Best 3 seasons of shirts I can remember.

Is that not 4 seasons worth of kits?

Wahaay! My thread has turned into a poll...happy days!

The white 3rd kit for me. It pains me not to pick a home shirt and the 09/10 is near perfect. BUT.. the sash is fucking sexy. I still wear it to this day. Beautiful.

Twas a beauty. I did a "Best City away shirt" contest a while ago.

I think in that contest (which was enjoyable by the way!!) The all maroon away shirt from circa 90-92 done very well.

Yet it isn't included in the poll??

Paul Lake stated it was his favourite ever City kit.......and I'm with Lakey on this one!!

I think it could be the only shirt that gives most peoples favourite in this thread, the home 2009/10, a run for its money

how that 09/10 home is winning I don't know, looks odd without matching sleeves, the 10/11 looked much better.
