Rubbish kits

[albie]

Entertaining piece in the Star about the crappest kits worn by local clubs;
RUBBISH KITS: As Sheffield United’s effort is blasted the ‘worst ever’, we take a look at fashion disasters from Blades, Owls, Millers, Rovers, Reds and Spireites - The Star

To be fair, none of them light a candle compared to Coventry's famous turd brown change strip from a few years ago.

That Rovers one they have picked is pretty naff though!

[the vicar]

that rovers strip was ok i liked it

[Lincoln Rover]

It's a Rovers kit..... Leave it alone.

[The Red Baron]

I liked that kit. The one I hated was circa 1986-7 which made us look like Rotherham. Though I think we thought it made us look like Arsenal.

Who's the Rovers player " modelling " the kit

I didn't remember him, had to  look him up

[Mike_F]

That's one of my favourite Rovers shirts ever!

[keith79]

I had that kit

[GazLaz]

The only old shirt I've got and wear is the East Ridings Sacks one. It was from 97 I think, the season I started going regularly.

[DonnyBazR0ver]

What about the one in the Carl Alford era when we ditched the badge, adopted blue shorts and white socks!

[BobG]

I've still got that shirt too Gaz....

The yellow away one from that season is for sale on eBay, £75 they want for it which seems like a lot.

Yes.  That was horrendous.  Looked like it had white epaulettes.  Pilkington Glass might have been the sponsor.

Pilkington Glass was 84 to 87, according to this;
Doncaster Rover - Historical Football Kits

I liked the 2 hoops version in 74/75, but that might be because of age at the time, memories etc.

Like with the football, we all see something different. One fans fashion crime is somebody else's definitive Rovers.

[Lincoln Rover]

With my extensive knowledge of fashion.... Not.
The 74/5 kit was the best for me

It was the white sleeves I disliked, Rob. I didn't think we had those in 1984-86, but we did in 86-7. I thought the epaulettes (87-88) were a marginal improvement because we went to predominantly red sleeves.

Shame we abandoned the hoops straight after winning promotion with them in 83-4.

I gave away my "East Riding Sucks" shirts when the BBC did a shirt amnesty. I can picture some lad in Africa running around in the yellow one, presumably claiming it is actually a Brazil shirt!

Someone had one on for £75 a year or so since and as I had one for sale I chucked mine on for £55 I think it was and next time I looked at my E-mails it had "PayPal instant payment" £55 !

WTF is that I thought and sure enough it had been snapped up by a Donny Fan and I delivered it the next day !
I took it to Wembley (M1) just so I could display it all the way home to signify how low we had been and (if we had won) how high we had now got in contrast !

[Donnywolf]

I agree that was naff as was the home kit too but I still reckon th worst kit ever in England had to be the Eddie Stobart Deck Chair cover Carlisle used to wear !

[Sammy Chung was King]

The 1990's era was one of the worst for kits, our was not too bad compared to some that one was one of my favourite's, never got it though.
I seem to remember an Everton salmon coloured one being one of the worst.

You are right, a year out.  I hated those epaulettes though.  They looked like we had a sheet of A4 folded over each shoulder.

[Orlandokarla]

The Hull tiger-stripe kit has to be up there with the worst of them.
