Nothing like a bit of replica kit porn!

Admiral kit was fab, the centenary kit is a disgrace to the club

Hated the fabric on the Centenary shirt. Really horrible itchy fabric so much that I barely wore it.

Mine never made it out of the box. Should really try to sell on the ones I have left. Too old these days and fortunately they would be too big.

the yellow kits were always a thing of beauty.

looking back, the centenary kit is up there with the worst - such a shame it was so terrible given it's significance

What made the centenary kit worse was that Derby had the same design for their home and away kits, which made it nothing special for us.

I had the Centenary shirt, but the quality of it was truly awful - one of the worst I have ever owned. The printed vertical numbers rapidly started peeling off after even careful, non-aggressive washes. As a result, never ended up wearing it again after that and sat in the wardrobe until I eventually got rid.

Such a massive shame.

Their 3rd shirt was the same as our centennial GK top.
