Well now the season's ended, we can tell you which shirts were the most popular amongst you, our fine and, may we say, rather smartly-dressed audience.
You'll recall we featured one new shirt per Premier League team so as to provide a fair balance throughout, and you were given the option to vote for either 'Excellent', 'Good', 'OK', 'Poor' or 'Terrible'.
All that taken into account, it gives us great pleasure to announce that on 'Excellent' votes alone, your favourite shirt was this one worn by Aston Villa away from home:
Out of all your votes for this shirt, 66% of you said it was 'Excellent' and based on 'Excellent' and 'Good' votes combined, it picked up 85%.
For your reference, here's the top 3 shirts in the 'Excellent' category:
1. Aston Villa (away) 66%
2. Portsmouth (3rd) 61%
3. Man United (away) 59%
...and in the 'Excellent' and 'Good' combined votes category, things were a little closer:
=1. Aston Villa (away) and Portsmouth (3rd) 85%
2. Tottenham (home) 74%
=3. Derby (home) and Man United (away) 72%
At the other end of the scale, Chelsea's new flourescent yellow away shirt proved to be the most unpopular. Out of all your votes cast, 56% said it was 'Terrible'. It also cleaned up when adding the 'Terrible' votes to the 'Poor' ones. Again, it was the least liked with 67% of the vote share.
Here's the three least liked shirts in terms of 'Terrible' votes:
1. Chelsea (away) 56%
2. Manchester City (home) 28%
3. Reading (away) 25%
...and when adding 'Terrible' votes to 'Poor' ones...
1. Chelsea (away) 67%
2. Reading (away) 41%
3. Manchester City (home) 40%
So congratulations to Nike who obviously tapped into the wants and needs of the Villa fan market perfectly, if not the Man United equivalent too. Points deducted for Adidas who thought a luminous yellow shirt would be highly popular outside of Stamford Bridge, and as for Puma, we have one piece of advice: 'Battleship Grey' is only a good colour for battleships.
Thanks to you all for voting and look out for some 2008/2009 shirt votes coming very soon...

I think we can all be thankful that the early to mid-90's are behind us. We're also lucky to avoid the assaults on the senses offered by the continent. All considered, English kits, while a bit boring at times, aren't that tough to swallow. I know I'd be embarrassed to sport a Marseille away kit around town, but that's just me.
My nightmare would be if Hull make it up (and it looks like they might) and that they go back to that awful 'Tony the Tiger' kit they had back in early 90's. I'd post a link to a picture, but it'd put your readers off. Funnily enough, Toffs dont sell that particular one. I wonder why ...
lol... I take it you're not a fan of 'salmon pink' then, Chris?!!
Ah yes, insideleft, the infamous 'Tony the Tiger' kit!!! I'd forgotten all about that! I reckon they're missing a trick if they can't even bring that back for their first Premier League season... :-)
