Excuse the lousy pun.

Common knowledge now that Errea are in their final year with us and Adidas/Nike are taking over, so what's been your favourite Errea kit from the last 15 years? And what's your most despised?

I suspect for many the most revered will be the first they produced with Skint as the sponsor, which coincided with our return to Brighton.

My personal favourite was the special kit we wore against Doncaster in 2007 to commemorate 10 years without a ground

Special mention to the home shirt we wore during the first season at The Amex, which I thought was the best since the aforementioned original Skint one. The current kit is possibly my most disliked, though the 'Argentina' kit runs it close.

Yours?

For me it's got to be the Centenary shirt - loved the quality crest :

The navy Palookaville shirt has somehow managed to stay in touch with my adonis like torso so i think thats my fav , apart from the 40 thousands volts it ommits when you take it off

My favourite was that light blue striped home shirt, least favourite that was that awful mauve coloured away kit. It was made of awful material as well.

For me the favourite was the shirt we wore in the play off final, also loved the Palookaville shirt. Maybe an honourable mention to the Errea shirt that never was...

First definitely the best. That light blue one was my least favourite.

I liked the all white kit we wore memorably at Selhurst in 2005.

I'm quite sad by the change. Errea have produced a few good looking shirts and, given we have virtually zero TV exposure, I struggle to believe that the commercials from Adidas/Nike or whoever are much better.

This is for me the correct answer.

Loved that kit, think it was the crest that really set it apart...I'd love a return to it one day (ideally before the bicentenary).

Which would just fit in with my 'no football shirt wearing after 40' policy. A good plan!

I never heard so much enthusiasm for paying to wear something carrying a advert, If Macs Caff want to give me twenty quid I'll iron their logo on the back of my best Fred Perry
