The jersey is grey with a striking berry chevron on the front – one hundred years on from this graphic first being used on a Celtic shirt in 1919/20. Grey and berry shorts and socks complete the bespoke kit.
Rising Celtic FC star Ryan Christie said: “All the lads love the third kit because New Balance always do something different with the design. This jersey looks really modern, but there’s also a big nod to the club’s history, which is always a nice touch for us players and the fans.”
New Balance Football General Manager Kenny McCallum added: “Celtic have a long and special history and we want to celebrate that in our kit designs. Although the colours here are contemporary and the performance technology is pioneering, the inspiration for the design goes back into Celtic FC’s illustrious and proud history. I hope the fans like it as much as we do.”
New Balance has employed the same cutting-edge technology across all three of Celtic FC’s kits for 2019/20. The jersey is developed using innovative NB DRY technology, a moisture wicking fabric that helps keep players fresh and dry from the first to final whistle. A bonded chest seam, mesh top yoke, engineered ventilation and a back body map and construction are also included to promote freedom of movement on the elite jersey.
The strip is part of New Balance Football’s ‘On To Victory’ campaign for Celtic FC in 2019/20 which embodies the Club’s constant quest for success.
The full range of New Balance Celtic FC 2019/20 kit products, including the elite player jerseys and replica jerseys, are available to pre-order now, and will be available at www.newbalance.co.uk/football, in New Balance stores worldwide and from Celtic FC’s megastores and online store from Tuesday 6th August 2019.
