Worst Villa kit?

[Deano's Mullet]

I know we've done favourite kit a million times but I don't think we've ever covered the WORST one ever! This is sparked off by me putting on the green/black/asics away kit yesterday and the missus going "ewwww gross." Unless she was talking about me of course.

Anyway, which are your least favourite kits (both home and away)?

Away kits

Home - Easily the 99/00 top we wore in the FA Cup Final. It wasn't traditional,  it had way too much blue on it and the Final itself obviously leaves me with very sour memories. Its not because its stripes because I loved the 93/95 one, I just hated the way it looked and everything about it. Claret shorts too! Urgh!
I didn't particularly like either of the LDV Vans home kits strangely enough. The one that everyone dogs on, the hummel halved kit worn by McInally and Platt etc, I don't actually mind that one. I should hate but its the kit we wore when I first got into the Villa so I have fond memories. In recent years the only one I am not too keen on is the Nike top from the McDonald/Houllier season. V bland.

Away kit - not keen on last seasons green kit but for me the winner again is a kit that sported LDV Vans logo, the blue kit we wore in Gregory's first full season.

Whatever anyone thought of the green/black Asics kit as a shirt it made a fantastic waistcoat.

I loved that one. Two wins at Highbury in the same season come to mind about that kit.

Without a doubt the Henson home and away shirts from 1985-87. I hated them from the start with no badge on the shirt and the way we played in them for those two seasons didn't help. I don't think we can be too proud of the away kits for the '83-'84 and '93-'95 seasons either. I'm not a fan of black away kits in general either.

I would second that, I just visualise Steve Hodge in that kit and all those dreadful mid 80s perms and mullets too. When I also think that my favourite kits remain the late 70s home and all white away ones, it makes you wonder if it is linked to your memories of a particular time as much as anything

I think the home Muller shirt in 1994 was atrocious and not keen on any of our yellow kits.

There is definately something in that. I don't think the home or away kits from '87-'89 are particularly great but I love them because they remind me of the promotion season and a lot of memorable away days.

The worst had to be the yellow Hummel one in olearys last season

[Meanwood Villa]

99/00 home, blue away 95/96. Happy memories associated with both but just wrong.

Away was last seasons horrific "Glow in the Dark"

Home was the 2010-2011 kit, was not a fan of the chequers

Agree.  Hokme 2010-2011 was awful.  I hated the chequers.  The  Hummel early 2000's kits were also just wrong!

I loved the green, black asics away. I got outbid on the waist coat on eBay last week. God knows where I would wear it though. Our away kits have been a bit crappy the last few years.  Still think white or yellow is best for us.

I hated the Henson shirts & associate it with a shit time

My favourites are the Umbro shirts, winning the league, 1990/91 & 92/93 & the yellow away kit
