New video footage of the leaked kit surfaced online this weekend after images came to the fore on Friday morning. This unexpected glimpse has sparked a wave of nostalgia and debate among the fanbase, particularly surrounding the design elements that pay homage to past eras.
The leaked images reveal a design that largely adheres to Celtic’s traditional aesthetic, featuring the iconic green and white hoops. This year, however, the hoops on the arms are notably broken, a slight departure from the fully continuous hoops of traditional designs. This detail blends a modern flair with classic elements, reminiscent of designs by New Balance and the 2003/04 kit by Umbro.
The excitement over the new kit comes amid a flurry of significant announcements from the club. Earlier on Friday, Celtic released information regarding next season’s tickets and confirmed a contract extension for player Liam Scales, underscoring an eventful period for the club.
Being potentially the last designed under Adidas’ five-year contract with the club. With the current deal set to expire at the end of next season, the future of Celtic’s partnership with Adidas remains a topic of much speculation.
Historically, Celtic has revealed their new home kits around the end of June, and the club is expected to follow a similar schedule this year.
