Sounds fun indeed.

Not a kit junkie to know them by date. Photos of the kits, without a player wearing them or the years would work better as prompts.

Thanks @Nanook - The outfield player kits never remind me of keepers, would we useful to see keeper kits, too, but can’t be bothered to search those. Same with away kits, would probably end up in very different players.

Strangely when I try to associate the Chevrolet logo to anyone at all I get Schweinsteiger, then Rooney, no one else comes up naturally. Blind actually.
 
Literally the first names that came to mind looking at the shirts in those pictures>

92-94 - Cantona
94-96 - Lee Sharpe
96-97 - Poborksy
97-2000 Europe - Ole
98-2000 - Roy Keane
200-2002 - Veron

2006-2007 - Cary Neville
2007-2009 - Ronaldo

2010-2011 - Bald Rooney
2011-2012 -
2012-2013 - RVP
2014-2017 - Nobody

If we're talking away kits, that Black Sharpe Viewcam is obviously a Cantona shirt... because it just is.
 
Weird that 2009-10 is so commonly associated with Owen and that was the first name I thought of too. Is that solely because of the goal he scored against City?
Yeah, probably the most famous part of that season really, will go down in memory for sure.

Also got a nice hat-trick away to Wolfsburg.
 
1992-1994 - Paul Ince
1994-1996 - Eric Cantona
1996-1998 - David Beckham

2004-2006 - Wayne Rooney
2006-2007 - Nemanja Vidic
2007-2009 - Cristiano Ronaldo
2009-2010 - Wayne Rooney
2010-2011 - Dimitar Berbatov
2011-2012 - Danny Welbeck
2012-2013 - Robin Van Persie
2013-2014 - Robin Van Persie
2014-2015 - Falcao
2015-2016 - Anthony Martial
2016-2017 - Zlatan Ibrahimovic
 
92-94 - Hughes
94-96 - Cantona
96-97 - Beckham
97-2000 - Jesper Blomqvist (WTF :confused:)
98-2000 - Ole
200-2002 - Beckham
2002-2004 - Ruud
2004-2006 - Rooney
2006-2007 - Ronaldo
2007-2009 - Hargreaves (feck off)
Munich Memorial - Giggs
2009-2010 - Owen
2010-2011 - Berbatov

2013-2014 - Ferdinand
2014-2015 - Falcao
2015-2016 - Schweignsteiger
2016-2017 - Ibra

Wow, I'm surprised that Scholes or Keane didn't feature in my first thoughts on any shirt. I mean, Blomqvist wtf? :lol:
 
1992-94 - Hughes. I think because he was quite a big deal especially following the ECWC final and probably edged the replica shirt sales at the time.
1994-96 - Cantona
1996-98 - Split between Cantona - distinctive collar, iconic Sunderland goal - and the emergence of Beckham.
1997-2000 CL- Beckham
1998-2000 - Giggs
2002-2002- Keane looking like he means business with his shaved head and becoming increasingly less tolerant of everything
2002-2004 - Ruud
2004-2006- O'Shea
2006-2007- Scholes

The others haven't really crystallised in my memory in the same way, probably because they've been changed every season.
 
94-96 makes me think of Beckham
97-00 - Solskjaer
02-04 - Ronaldo
09-10 - Scholes and Owen
10-11 - Berbatov
12-13 - Van Persie

Pretty much it.

2009-2010 - Micheal Owen (hate this jersey)
2010-2011 - Hernandez/Berbatov
2011-2012 - Pogba/Rooney (given the amount of times a picture of Pogba in this jersey was used recently, also hate this jersey)

2013-2014 - Mata/Robin Van Persie
2014-2015 - Falcao
