Reigning Scottish Premiership champions Celtic FC will add another new kit to their rotation for the coming season, an all-white third kit that pays tribute to history while looking to the future.
The beloved Scottish club debuted their first ever white shirt back in May of 1888, and this latest look hearkens back to that time, honoring the club’s founders in the process. The white shirt is offset by a green-white-gold band through the chest, a modernized take on the Irish tricolor designed to celebrate the Irish Marist priest Brother Walfried, Celtic’s founder back in 1887.
The shirt’s deep cuffs, meanwhile, sport a bright green that sharply juxtaposes the lighter palette, while the constructed V-neck adds a certain fashionable bent. Inside the back of the collar is a gold band, a pop of unseen color, just above the motivational phrase: “A Club Like No Other.”
Completing the new Celtic third kits, the shorts are crisp, clean white, with a thin green stripe running up each leg, while the socks feature a green band along the top of otherwise white coloring.
The new Celtic third kit will be available on Nike.com beginning July 11, an will be worn throughout the season as Celtic looks to defend their league championship.
