Celtic officially revealed the new 2016/17 home kit by New Balance. The shirt has been launched as part of the ‘Like No Other’ campaign for the 2016/17 season.
The legendary Celtic Hoops have been refreshed in Fern green and Optic white; finished with gold trim around the sleeve cuffs and shoulder seams.
The green gradiant Hoops are designed to evoke the nostalgia of the 2003 UEFA Cup final. The iconic words ‘A club like no other’ as spoken by legendary Celtic player, coach and manager Tommy Burns are displayed on the back neck tape and to the inner hem.

Richard Wright, General Manager of New Balance Football said: “This new kit combines the history of Celtic with the modern advancements of New Balance’s research and development.
“With our NB Dry technology, the players can rely on the fact they will be comfortable on pitch while they are competing at the highest levels.”
The kit has been developed using NB Dry technology, a moisture wicking fabric that keeps players cool and dry while wicking sweat from the body, making it fast drying.
The shorts feature a classic all-white design trimmed with gold piping, paired with socks in white with a green gradiant Hoop.
To offer added support to the ankle, the socks have built in comfort zones while the footbed has been developed with polypropylene to alleviate excess moisture when the foot makes contact with the boot.
Celtic also announced the further strengthening of their existing partnership with leading company Dafabet, as the company was named a new ‘Main Club Sponsor’.
As part of the new four-year agreement, the Dafabet name will be featured on the front of the club’s shirts from the beginning of season 2016/17.
