Leicester City’s 10 Best Away Kits of All Time – Ranked

Many teams have become synonymous with the colour they play in. Whether it be Newcastle's black and white stripes, Aston Villa's claret and blue or the deep red of Liverpool, often you can look at a shade of colour and instantly see a certain football club.

Not many football clubs however, have become widely associated with a brand of crisps.

It's almost impossible to look at a packet of Walkers and not see Leicester City's glorious shirts of the 90s. The huge logo should have looked a bit naff, but of course, it actually looked really good.

There's more than their fair share of those Walkers beauties in this list, but will one make it to the top spot? Crisps/popcorn at the ready, as we count down the greatest Leicester away kits of all time.

10. Fox Leisure Half and Half 1995/1996

It may look like the sort of thing a clown would turn up to a kid's party wearing, but there's something fantastic about this effort from 1995/96.

Everyone loves a central badge, throw in an 80's style deep V-neck and weird print and you've got yourself a winner.

It was also a memorable season for footballing reasons. Having endured their first relegation from the Premier League, the Foxes bounced back at the first time of asking after Garry Parker grabbed the decisive goal in their play-off final triumph over Stoke City.

9. Championship Winning Puma 2013/2014

Often shirts are remembered more fondly if they come from a special era for a football club, and this certainly falls into that category.

Having said that, it's still a very smart design, with the yellow trimmings down the side and on the sleeves a nice touch.

Leicester would go on to win the Championship in 2013/14, and just two years later were crowned champions of England. A special kit for a special period in the club's history.

8. Fox Leisure White 1992/1994

Teams try all sort of quirky designs and colours on their away shirts these days, but you can't beat a simple, smart, white shirt.

Leicester's effort from 1992/94 is a classic. Nothing flash, not too over the top, but very stylish.

The club's initials below the collar are a quality touch, and even the Walkers logo doesn't look out of place.

Leicester wore this shirt for both the 1992/93 and 1993/94 season, finishing in the playoffs both campaigns and winning promotion in the latter.

7. Orange and Black Adidas 2018/2019

In 2018 Leicester cut ties with kit manufacturers Puma and signed a deal with Adidas, and their first attempt at an away shirt was a beauty,

The simplistic design with orange stripes against a grey background offers a refreshing change from modern-day kits covered in patterns with overbearing sponsors.

Not an entirely memorable season for the Foxes, though a solid ninth-placed finish is not to be scoffed at.

However, their summer acquisitions of the likes of James Maddison, Jonny Evans and Ricardo Pereira saw them laying the foundations for the top-six side they've become.

6. Le Coq Sportif and Walkers 2000/2001

Remember Le Coq Sportif?

The French kit manufacturers produced some great kits and this was one of them.

The oversized collar and ill-fitting shirt screams 'early noughties', and those silky shorts are a joy to behold, but nonetheless it's a quality kit.

The giant yellow Walkers logo finally makes an appearance on our list, though it's not a kit Foxes fans will have fond memories of, as the club finished rock bottom in the top flight as they suffered their second relegation from the Premier League.

5. Fox Leisure and Walkers 1994/1996

The first words that spring to mind when looking at this beauty are 'Golden Wonder', but saying that would be like swearing at a Leicester fan! (Get it? Like the crisps? But Leicester were always sponsored by Walkers? Alright, forget it).

There's just something brilliant about a ridiculously bright away kit.

The blue and white trimmings along with the faded pattern that looks like your Grandma's wallpaper make this a truly unique effort, but for some reason it looks amazing.

The club were embarking on their 'yo-yo period' when this shirt was released, as they were relegated from the Premier League in 1995 before being promoted the following season.

4. Red Walkers 1988/1990

It looks a little bit like a Nottingham Forest shirt, but the fact it's such a random shirt is why it's pretty cool.

There's just something not quite right about Leicester wearing red, although they've donned the colour more than a few times since this was released in 1988.

The simplistic badge and kit manufacturer logos on the sleeve are a throwback to times gone by, with very little detail of note.

It's not the most extravagant of kits but it's certainly effective.

3. Premier League Champions 2015/2016

We couldn't possibly make a list about anything remotely connected to Leicester and not mention 2015/16.

Premier League champions just 12 months on from looking certainties for relegation - undoubtedly the greatest story since the Premier League began.

Not only is it memorable for their achievement that year, it's also a snazzy kit, with the low V-neck a throwback to kits of old.

Arguably the biggest win of their title-winning campaign came in this beauty, as they defied the odds with a superb 3-1 win over Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.

2. Pink Adidas 2019/2000

Come on, admit it - the first time you saw it you were repulsed and then by the end of the season you didn't want to admit how much you liked it, right?

This pink number is definitely outrageous, but it's a quality shirt.

Brendan Rodgers' side looked imperious early on in the 2019/20 campaign and looked to be Liverpool's nearest challengers. However, lack of squad depth cost them and they ultimately failed to record a top-four finish.

However, regardless of their end-of-season collapse, 2019/20 can be looked back on as a successful year for the club, and if nothing else they fell apart in style.

1. Admiral Pinstripes 1983/1985

Green? Yellow pinstripes? First of all how on earth is this number one? And secondly, where can this shirt be purchased?

If you were to describe this kit to someone it would sound utterly horrific, but when you see it, you realise how brilliant it looks.

Quintessential 80s with its Admiral badge and deep V-neck, hipster clothes shops all over the country would do anything for a shirt like this.

The two seasons Leicester wore this number weren't exactly stellar campaigns as they struggled to stay afloat in the top flight. However, not even a struggling team can sully the memory of a truly beautiful kit.
