Second thoughts
Both of the jerseys in this week’s Away Kit Battle qualified for the knockout stages via our second chance saloon – but the journey is about to come to an end for one of them.
There are no more potential reprieves for any defeated shirts, with each winner progressing to the next round until an overall favourite is determined.
Our latest Round-of-16 encounter pits Cliftonville’s Green & Silver 125th Anniversary strip against the Yellow & Black hoops sported on the road during the 1998/99 season.
We want supporters young and old to play their part in helping us compile a definitive of list of the Red Army’s favourites and, even if your chosen kit doesn’t make progress to the Quarter-Finals, every vote will help determine precisely where it ends up in our overall rankings between 1990 and 2020.
Our poll closes at noon on Monday, so you’ve got the rest of the weekend to make a considered decision before clicking the button.
125h Anniversary Green & Silver
Supplier: O’Neills
Sponsor: MDS Pharma Services
Worn: 2004/05, 2005/06, 2006/07
Notes: A bottle-green number adorned with a trio of silver stripes down the left side, Cliftonville’s 125th Anniversary kit was worn for the final time on the day a long overdue return to European football was secured when the Reds defeated Crusaders in April 2007.
Luminous Luxury
Supplier: Le Coq Sportif
Sponsor: KitKat
Worn: 1998/99
Notes: Worn for a decidedly unremarkable Premier League title defence in 1998/99, this kit is regarded as something of a cult classic among fans, for whom fears of potential floodlight failures mattered not a jot with this eye-catching ensemble around.
