The 90s were a funny old time for fashion, and that didn't stop when it came to the football pitch.

Cheap material, massive sponsors, and designs that looked like they had been painted by a blind person were the norm, but looking back, you can't help but admire the decisions that were made by the likes of Adidas, Umbro, and of course, Le Coq Sportif.

We love a good retro jersey here at Balls.ie, but we also love a bad one too, and we've had a dig for some of the the more noteworthy League of Ireland jerseys from the 1990s, and while some are good, some are very, very bad.

Galway United - 1995

Not entirely sure what 'Digital' did at the time, but they sponsored Galway and that template is a 90s Adidas classic. Works well with those colours too, a cracker for the time.

Derry City - 1991


When you think of Derry City in the 90s, you think 'FRUIT OF THE LOOM'.

Shamrock Rovers - 1999

This won't be the last time Rovers feature here, but they outdid themselves with their kits in the 90s. Umbro were taking the piss a bit here.

Cork City - 1992


Another gem here, the Cork colours looked great with that Adidas template, the 90s really were a good time for the German sportswear giant. Special mention to Bohs' absolutely gigantic 'BASS' sponsor too.

Drogheda United - 1999

An absolute monstrosity. McDonalds logos do not work as shirt sponsors.

Shamrock Rovers - 1993


We know Rovers like a bit of purple, but jaysus. Also worth noting this jersey was made by "Matchwinner", whoever they are.

Cork City - 1999

Sometimes a sponsor just works on a jersey. Even better when the sponsor is Guinness and the jersey itself looks like the head of a pint of Guinness.

Sligo Rovers - 1994


Sligo won the FAI Cup is this headache of a football shirt.

Shamrock Rovers - 1995

Shamrock Rovers again thinking outside the box, this time with an improvement in terms of results.

Finn Harps - 1999

Finn Harps reached the 1999 FAI Cup final and were spotted easily by motorists at night in this luminous version of Brazil's 1998 World Cup jersey.
