The fourth installment of our Away Kit battle today sees Cliftonville’s two most recent reverse strips go head to head.

Both made their debuts in European competition, with the green-shade shirt worn for the first time when the Reds drew 1-1 with Differdange in a 2016 Europa League encounter in Luxembourg, while the same competition provided the backdrop for the shamrock-clad jersey’s bow in a 3-1 loss to FC Nordsjælland of Denmark two years later.

In our bid to determine the Reds’ best and worst change strips of the last 30 years, we’re sending our fans to the polls to decide which weekly nomination makes progress to the competition’s next round – with a special second-chance saloon offered to all of the shirts which lose out in the opening phase, just to be absolutely sure that none are discarded through sheer misfortune of the draw.

The motivation behind your vote rests entirely with you. Perhaps it was the away strip Cliftonville wore in your first season following them across the land, or maybe there’s a favourite player from that era who’s synonymous with a particular kit in your mind’s eye.

Did the Reds surge to trophy success while bedecked in a certain top or, from a purely aesthetical point of view, do you just happen to like the colour and design more than the others?

Whatever your reason, we want supporters young and old to play their part in helping us compile a definitive list that stretches all the way back to 1990.

As part of the draw process, all of the jerseys in contention were divided into colour-coordinated pots (thus ensuring, for example, that no yellow kit would face off against another in the opening phase) before random pairings were conducted to produce 10 head-to-head battles – the fourth of which you can vote on below.

Our poll closes at noon on Monday, so you’ve got the whole weekend to take your time and make a considered decision before clicking the button.



Green Shades
Supplier: Puma
Sponsor: Sean Graham
Worn: 2016/17, 2017/18
Notes: Though it was worn for the first time in the Europa League tie with Differdange in Luxembourg, this kit was – in a potentially fate-tempting move – unveiled just days before the Reds faced Glentoran in the inaugural Euro Play-Off Final, victory in which saw supporters flock to place their orders for some coveted continental kitwear.


Shamrock Fades
Supplier: Puma
Sponsor: Sean Graham
Worn: 2018/19, 2019/20-present
Notes: The current away strip was marketed to recognise the 140th season of Ireland’s Oldest Football Club and such has been the global popularity of the jersey sporting a chest-panel of shamrocks that stock has consistently sold out in all sizes.
