Celtic unveiled their new 15/16 Home football kit by New Balance.
In the newly designed home kit, New Balance has maintained the club’s illustrious traditions, while incorporating a modern twist.
In keeping with the team’s tradition and identity, solid green hoops circle the bright white shirt, which are framed by finer hoop detailing to give the design additional depth. The clean sharp look is complimented by an integrated V-insert collar.

Celtic’s rich heritage is also celebrated with the inclusion of club message “A Club like no other” to the inner back neck and an external Celtic cross sign off. The kit is completed with crisp white shorts and white socks with green hoops.
Club captain Scott Brown said: “All the players were excited to hear New Balance would be making next season’s kits and the designs were popular from the moment we saw them. We can’t wait to wear them on the pitch.”
The kit incorporates NB Dry, technology that helps keep the body cool and dry whilst being active. The moisture wicking fabric releases moisture away from the body, making it fast-drying and it is anatomically fitted to form around the player’s body shape for ease of movement. NB Flex technology, fibre construction that provides enhanced stretch for a less restrictive garment, is incorporated into the goalkeeper kit to help with motion and fit.
Chief Executive Peter Lawwell said: “The kit looks and feels modern; yet the traditions that bind this club and its supporters have been completely respected.
“We are delighted to enter this great new partnership with New Balance and we are confident our new kit will be a winner both on the pitch and with our fans.”
Richard Wright, General Manager of New Balance Football, said: “New Balance has big ambitions and we can learn a lot from one of Europe’s most prolific and successful clubs.
“Being able to design the home kit for Celtic FC and to include New Balance features NB Dry and NB Flex into the design; we know we have given the team all the tools they need to remain successful for years to come.”
Paul Condron, Marketing Director of Magners Irish Cider, added, “The launch of any new Celtic kit is always a time of excitement and anticipation among the Celtic support.
“We are delighted that this kit will carry Magners Irish Cider branding and look forward to working with New Balance and Celtic on some exciting projects in the season ahead to benefit the club and Celtic fans at home and abroad.”
