Loading ...The Decade Of Kits took a brief international break yesterday, but it’s back today with another strong line-up. Take a look through the kits above, expertly captured by John Devlin, and let us know which one you think is the finest. If you need to jog your memory about what exactly happened that season, here’s a quick recap of the big events in football during 2004-05.
The biggest result of this season was probably Liverpool’s famous Champions League win in Istanbul, while back in the Premiership Chelsea secured their first title in fifty years. The Londoners also won the Carling Cup, while Arsenal won the FA Cup, beating Manchester United in the final on penalties. Everton finished in the Top 4 above their city neighbours, the last time a team outside of Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United did so.
At the other end of the table, Crystal Palace, Norwich and Southampton dropped out of the top flight, and none of the three have since returned. Replacing them from the newly-named Championship were Sunderland, Wigan Athletic and West Ham, who beat Preston North End in the play-off final.
England began their campaign for the 2006 World Cup in this season, in a group that contained British neighbours Wales and Northern Ireland. The campaign went well, with five wins and a draw from their six games so far.
The biggest transfer this season was Wayne Rooney’s £27million move to Manchester United from Everton. It was a season for big money moves – Didier Drogba joined Chelsea for £24million, while Michael Owen moved to Real Madrid for £17million.

The results for this show just how worthless these kind of polls are. Some forum picks up on it and throws the voting off massively. At least it’s not like all the other ones where everyone votes for the England kit regardless of the actual design though…

Nonsense, Tim. It’s just that, deep down, everyone is a closet Morecambe fan and this is how they get their chance to show it without giving it away to their fellow ‘other team’ supporters. Upwards the Mighty Shrimps!

Cheer up Tim. Morecambe has been voted the friendliest club in football and also the most popular second club. Is it any surprise then that Morecambe is everyone’s favourite kit?

I’m not annoyed or upset, it’s just that these things are often a pointless excercise. If the actual designers want to know how well their shirts are remembered, they will not do so with this poll.
Out of interest, I voted for the following:
2000-01: ROI home
2001-02: United reversable away
2002-03: No vote cast (most kits are the same uninspiring template)
2003-04: Chelsea home
2004-05: Celtic home
2005-06: Northern Ireland home
