Stoke City have worn many iconic kits throughout the Clubโs long history and now we want to know which ones you like the most.
A number of standout strips have been worn by stars of the Potters over the last 150 years, with those in the 80s and 90s amongst the most popular.
Whether it be one of the multiple red and white striped concepts or vast array of colourful away designs, everyone has their favourite kit from yesteryear.
As the Club considers what products to introduce as part of a new retro range, we want to hear feedback from supporters on what strips make them reflect with fondness, and which could be seen in the Club Stores later this year.
From Monday to Thursday we will be running a series of polls via our official Twitter and Instagram accounts to gather responses, so keep your eyes peeled and make yourself heard!

The 83/85 one is surely a non starter. Who wants to be reminded of that vile time?

Excellent this
Been wanting some retro kits but either can't find them on the internet, or they're eye wateringly expensive.
For the Umbro shirts, if selected, would be nice if they could make them for us, but I suspect we will use Toffs or Score Draw.
Either way, this'll be good.

And in fairness it was a lovely kit..... I never liked it. Our sinking doesnโt help me to warm to it. Also the naff โProud to be a Potterโ banner on the roof of the Stoke end stand. Awful stuff.

If you're not picking Berry Cristal Tiles, what is wrong with you?

If you're not picking Berry Cristal Tiles, what is wrong with you? Because the "O'callaghan Ricoh" one is by far and away the best.....and quite possibly the best ever designed Stoke shirt ever...........well,so far!!!

You can basically buy the same shirt off Toffs already, and I'm pretty certain the club sold the Ricoh sponsor version of it about 10 years ago because it's what I wore to Wembley if memory serves. Just think it will be a shame if we miss out on something that's never been sold.

To be fair, they are both superb and a pity they are in the same voting group. I have a picture of two of my daughters when they were 7 & 5 in the crystal tiles top Berry is wearing so itโs that one for me!

Why not just release all 4? Maybe swap the 1983/84 for the blue pinstriped away kit which was superb, and the 1987/88 yellow away kit which was excellent as well.
They'd all sell like hot cakes.....

I suppose it depends how you define "retro" in terms of how far you go back but the blue pinstripe Umbro 1983/84 would be my favourite, closely followed by the Matchwinner yellow Fradley Homes top with the two black diagonal lines (1989/90), the Asics purple Carling top with the white sleeves (1993/94) and the green and black striped Asics top from 1994/95. All absolute quality.....

Asiscs purrple away 93 is just a top notch shirt. Ended up getting it from ebay for about 40 quid last year, but absolutely worth it.
Also got the Asiscs away shirt with STOKE written across for about 25, and the 95/96 home shirt with BROXAP sponsoring. Not the comfiest shirt in the world though.

Purple shirt white sleeve carling away top by far the best

Over the years the better retro shirts have been produced & sold in the club shop including the Crystal Tiles Admiral home & away shirts. Sure both l the 80's Umbro Ricoh strips have been done too. The 70's Stanley Matthew's & League Cup final remakes have all been done too. More accurate versions would be great but thinking retro remakes of away shirts from over the years would be better sellers. Think the green/black striped Asics top could be popular aswell as the purple with while sleeved Asics shirts.

It's not that retro, but I'd like to get my hands on the black away top from around 2009. That was a thing of beauty.

Someone photoshopped Bojan into the Green and Black away shirt once, looked bloody glorious.

The Crystal Tiles one that Judda's got on, I always thought it was a very neat and tidy design, it almost came first.... But the umbro one that O'callaghan is wearing pips it I think, that strip was something else!!! Like you say though block23, BOTH superb strips!!! ๐๐ผ
