Fave and fortune
They’ve both been strongly tipped to go all the way in our Away Kit Battle but one all-time favourite is about to reach the end of the road – but which one will you save?
As we continue to whittle our fans’ top choices down week by week, it’s increasingly inevitable that two stand-out candidates will eventually go head-to-head and that’s precisely what’s happening in the fourth of our last-16 showdowns, where the Yellow & Black ensemble sported on the road between 2014-2016 goes up against the iconic Shamrock Fades strip worn from 2018 until earlier this year.
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.
There are no more potential reprieves for any defeated shirts, with each winner progressing to the next round until an overall victor is determined.
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.
Yellow & Black
Supplier: Puma
Sponsor: Sean Graham
Worn: 2014/15, 2015/16
Notes: Supporters around the world couldn’t wait to get their hands on the Borussia Dortmund-style 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.
Shamrock Fades
Supplier: Puma
Sponsor: Sean Graham
Worn: 2018/19, 2019/20
Notes: This strip was marketed to recognise the 140th season of Ireland’s Oldest Football Club and such was the global popularity of the jersey sporting a chest-panel of shamrocks that stock has consistently sold out in all sizes.
