This is the new Celtic strip 2017/18, Scottish champions Glasgow Celtic’s new home kit for the upcoming SPL season. Made by New Balance, the new Celtic top was officially unveiled on May 4, 2017, exactly a week after NB released Liverpool’s 2017/18 125th anniversary home kit.
The kit celebrates the 50th anniversary of Celtic’s famous European Cup win, where Jock Stein’s Lisbon Lions got the better of Inter Milan in the Portuguese capital (they won 2-1 on 25 May, 1967). Goals from Tommy Gemmell and Stevie Chelmers saw Celtic become the first British team to lift the European Cup.
New Balance have introduced a special commemorative gold crest for the 17/18 season and inside the neck is a band that combines the famous green and white of Celtic and the blue and black colours of Inter.
Dafabet are sponsors of the new Celtic shirt, as can be seen in the pics below.
The band inside the neck and the Portuguese wording on the crest are both nice touches.
Very nice shirt.
