Just made a comment on another post here but thought I'd start a post on favourite QPR kits. Personally, I like the larger hoops ........... we are looking too much like Reading at present. The 1989-90 is my favourite. please log in to view this image Here is a link to some old kits ....... http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=...3_ZH1FkogdExhgnXQ&sig2=Imgt1w_PRe8uhB4-bOEhAA Also ....... http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=...ILrgV_xuOvNpLUXzw&sig2=CpgD4g9h6mykRll4I2xUjw
We've done kits a number of times on here. I'm not a big lover of sponsor's logos across the front - seems kinda strange to me to splash out £40+ to be a free advertising board for some product you have no personal inclination to use or endorse - so I'd have to go for most of the Adidas range of the mid-70s and early-80s. If I had to go for a logo, then it would have to be Guinness. [of course, I acknowledge that I'd be endorsing Adidas too. Oh, the irony] http://www.historicalkits.co.uk/Queens_Park_Rangers/Queens_Park_Rangers.htm
Last season's would have been spot-on if the logo was properly incorporated. The 83-85 Guinness with the blue-topped socks was the best of the sponsored era. The 75-76 change kit with red/white quarters and black shorts is my favourite 2nd kit...
the brooks was my favourite, I liked the lighter blue, the thicker hoops and even the yellow bit And the QPR markings throughout it which does not show up on a photo
Thicker hoops - four including blue shoulders. Traditional white shorts and socks for me. Denis the menace second strip and green and white hoops third option. Same every year for brand recognition, that's Queens Park Rangers, no ****ing around!
I agree with you to an extent, Brix. But I'm not a great fan of the green & white hoops, if I'm honest, although I acknowledge that the Rs had the green before the blue. I quite like the red & black halves with the black shorts that were sported for the away kit some years back (didn't mind those as an alternative to the Denis). In many respects, it seems daft that there should even be a third kit these days. I could understand it when there was B&W TV, but surely there can't be that many occasions when even the second strip clashes? P.S. please, please, please let's not ever see the mango again.
Has to be the 83 - 85 Guinness one for me, do not like very much my 2nd one from 92-93 season (don´t know know why I bought it at that time). Also really love the 82 Cup Final Track Top (Retro) which I recently bought. Has to be with the old badge anyway, will never buy the new ones....
White away kit we wore in the play-off final against Cardiff thanks...or the navy with pin-stripe of the same year.,.
Could not agree any more .............. with the shirt, white shorts and socks - same year in, year out.
Guinness kit for me too, both home and away. And feel the same about the badge, it should be brought back for the next kit...
Really liked last years kit (without the horrible logo job), a modern classic as it says below: please log in to view this image But best set (home and away) was the 2009/10 season imo. please log in to view this image please log in to view this image My fav third kit: please log in to view this image Kiwi, I still have my Brooks shirt, still fits, just a bit worn out And to all that have chosen the Guiness shirt, that's just plain cheating! Have som imagination ffs
Cheating? What a stupid thing to say! I have a wonderful imagination thanks. Name your favourite kit, oh, but leave out your favourite and choose another one??!! Doh....
See the link on Jongleurs' post on the Wayne Fereday thread. 1952-53 shirt, even before my time, but excellent. http://www.qprprints.co.uk/football_league_division_three_south_queens_park_rangers_photocall/print/1982441.html
Are you serious here??!! Lighten up mate, I know it doesn't always come across well on the net but I was clearly joking. Apoligies if I offended you.
