Decide the worst EFL kit of all time

The moment you've been waiting for has arrived...

A few weeks ago we asked you to get in touch with your suggestions for the worst EFL kit of all time.

It was inspired by the launch of a new collection by Championship leaders Coventry City, proudly taking inspiration from a kit widely dubbed "the worst of all time".

A take on the club's infamous brown change strip worn away from Highfield Road from 1978 to 1981, the modern reinvention features what the club calls "a deeper chocolate-plum colour with sky blue elements". Yum.

Since then we have been poring over hundreds of your suggestions, counting the votes, and we finally have a mouth-watering range of specials for you to choose from.

We've ruled out the (many) suggestions of Premier League and SPL teams and have also not included keeper kits (they're a different breed, as we all know).

Recency bias was in full swing as three current change strips were among those suggested, while more than half the clubs in the 72 had at least one shirt nominated, and the likes of Preston, Notts County, Northampton, Barnsley and Shrewsbury can count themselves fortunate to have missed the final cut.

So, look below, if you dare, and pick from our "six of the worst"...

Clearly yellow and green are not for everyone. Norwich City had FIVE different home shirts suggested, from various years and mostly in the EFL, but there was one overwhelming "favourite" - from 1992-93, the only one we've let sneak through with a Premier League badge, as it's so special (and this is only supposed to be a bit of fun, anyway).

Some said it resembled "a 1980s arcade Flotex carpet", but most of you referred to it by the evocative nickname of "the bird poo kit".

What is it about the early 90s?

"It's not a football kit; it's a GCSE art project titled 'Energy'. The way the shorts continue the assault on your eyes is a crime."

1992-93 was a strange season at St Andrew's, with Blues sold to David Sullivan midway through the campaign, 23-year-old Karren Brady installed as managing director and a dramatic escape from relegation from the First Division on the final day of the season, despite playing in a kit which you suggest took inspiration from a bus seat.

Another from the 1992-93 season, though we had suggestions for several distinctive Tigers kits from that era, which may not surprise you.

The most popular nomination was for this "car seat cover" from Hull City's campaign in the Second Division, which saw them finish one place above the drop zone.

Described by you, among other things, as a "sartorial monstrosity", this Sheffield United home strip is a world away from the red and white stripes you would normally associate with Bramall Lane.

"It looks more like a Power Rangers costume... what were they thinking?"

The Blades wore it en route to a ninth-place finish in the First Division, their second campaign following relegation from the top-flight.

Black and yellow checks with a hint of red trim, big red numbers on the back, plus a 'bib' under the chin. What more could you ask for?

"It was said that Town looked like bruised bananas when wearing it... we also got thrashed 10-1 at Maine Road while wearing it, which adds to its hatred among Town supporters."

That humbling at Man City in November 1987 was par for the course in a season which is statistically the Terriers' worst ever.

Town won only six league games, suffered that club-record defeat, conceded 100 league goals and finished bottom of Division Two, 19 points from safety and 14 shy of second-bottom Reading.

Despite all that, the club does, however, still sell the shirt in its retro range.

The one that started it all... Coventry City sported a "chocolate and sky blue" number on the road from 1978 to 1981, the era of big facial hair, slim fit and tiny shorts, of course.

"So bad it's good" seems to be the consensus, and the Sky Blues certainly think so, using it as inspiration for a new range as they try to return to the top flight in which they once wore it.
