Celtic FC currently plays in the Scottish Premiership and is one of the most dominant clubs in the said league. Celtic wear green and white hooped home shirts and a variety of green, yellow, white and black away and third kits. The club is also one of the few to breach the ‘100’ mark in terms of total trophies won, besting even some of today’s recognised strong teams like Bayern Munich and Manchester United. A Celtic kit, with its bespoke hoop design, is seen in action most especially when the club host their home games at the over 60,000-capacity Celtic Park.

Purists of the Hoops appreciated the treatment of the bespoke design in 2024/25. Green rectangular bands formed unadulterated, showcasing the pattern in its glorified simple construction. This also helped make the secondary accent compliment the overall design. Black curving trims toward the sides of the shirt added understated elegance. Besides the black stripes around the shoulders, the black rear half of the collar also contributed some visual activity, courtesy of the green Celtic knot design that it housed.

The Celtic FC 2023/24 adidas home stayed true to identity, running a hooped design in green and white. But the green hoops for this edition of the primary strip incorporated a modern element, suiting up with ragged edges and with aesthetics inspired by the stained glass window around the original entrance to the stadium. Black accents from the sleeve cuffs, extended template shoulder stripes and collar, along with a Celtic cross on the back neck of the jersey, signed off the look of the shirt.

The familiar hooped home shirt of Celtic FC in the 2022/23 season saw the traditional design filled with waves of triangles on the top and bottom edges. It was consistent with the other adidas shirts of the season that also had some triangular patterns. Touches of fade effects were added to the green hoops, giving them more life and activity. Silver shoulder stripes provided some glitter effect.

The green and white hoops of the Celts’ home were back for the 2021/22 season. Kit maker adidas added parallel pinstripe borders to the traditional design covering every inch of space on the shirt. The German brand also included its trademark shoulder stripes in green against a white panel, mirroring the colour combination of the hooped pattern. Completing the construction of the jersey were the sleeve cuffs and round collar in white.

Scottish giants Celtic FC’s adidas 2021/22 home kit featured their iconic hoops design, a look wherein green and white stripes went around the entire shirt, including the sleeves, horizontally. The design was crispier and cleaner compared to that of Sporting Lisbon’s. Yellow pipings appeared on the edges of the sleeves and the round neckline. White hoops fell on the shoulder to highlight relatively narrower green stripes, an element seen in other recent adidas kits. A gold star shone above the team symbol to commemorate the club’s record as the first British club to win the European Cup.

From the active design of the home shirt came the relatively plain look of the Celtic’s 2023/24 adidas away. It was black from front to back, and the template extended stripes on the shoulders had a dark toned viridian shade. Because of the dimmed aura of the shirt, much visibility was afforded to the sleeve cuffs and collar’s makeup, comprised of two rows of repeating micro diagonals, with each line divided into white and the abovementioned shade of green.

The predominantly black away of Celtic FC in the 2022/23 season was based on the Scottish club’s 1992/93 alternate shirt. This was evident with the dark base and the white borders of the thin green vertical stripes, as well as the shield surrounding the Celtic crest. Adidas gave additional green details to the round collared jersey, such as the template shoulder stripes and sleeve cuffs.

The Celtic 2021/22 adidas away shirt opted for a classy dark green look that was consistent throughout the entirety of the jersey.

Instead of the usual team crest, the shirt employed the Shamrock symbol surrounded by a tonal green laurel wreath to represent the Bhoys.
2020/21 Celtic Away Shirt
The away kit of Celtic FC for the 2020/21 season was a clean light green-based shirt that used dark green to contrast the elements such as the sleeve cuffs, shoulder stripes, v neckline, and adidas’ branding on the right chest. Two light green hoops appeared on the opening edge of the cuffs. Similar to the home kit, the away kit also had a lone star above the team symbol to commemorate the Celtic’s European achievement.

The first striped green and white shirt was first worn in 1889 where it lasted until 1903. In 1903 they went to hooped shirts and have not changed since.
