They’ve had some high-profile clashes on the European stage and today two giants of the continental game go head-to-head in the fifth installment of the Cliftonville Away Kit Battle.

Though the Yellow and Black strip sported on the road between 2014-2016 drew obvious comparisons with Borussia Dortmund, what’s perhaps not so well known is that the Reds’ reverse jersey from the 2007/08 season was loosely based on the traditional Ajax design – albeit with a Mint Green centre.

In our bid to determine Cliftonville’s 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 – although the most recent addition to the collection will not be included.

The motivation behind your vote rests entirely with you. Perhaps it was the away strip the Reds 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 team 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 most recent 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.



Ajax Amendment
Supplier: O’Neill’s
Sponsor: MDS Pharma Services
Worn: 2007/08
Notes: Sported for a single season, this shirt (one of just two from the last 30 years that saw the Cliftonville badge placed centrally) was traditionally accompanied with White shorts and socks, however it was not unusual for Green shorts to be worn from time to time, including the Club’s memorable Setanta Sports Cup debut against Drogheda United.


Dortmund Duplicate
Supplier: Puma
Sponsor: Sean Graham
Worn: 2014/15, 2015/16
Notes: The most recent Yellow strip prior to this week’s new release, Reds supporters around the world couldn’t wait to get their hands on a shirt which made its debut in the Champions League clash with Debrecen in Hungary and which was also worn on the night that Cliftonville made League Cup history by beating Ards to secure the trophy for a fourth consecutive season.
