Celtic have released a teaser of an announcement this coming Friday about the new Celtic home kit. After the release of the new away kit which has gone down a storm it has to be said, this latest one has caused a bit of a stir as many have been slightly unimpressed by the new-look Hoops.

The Hoops is an important feature to the club and is a famous hallmark of the institution for some years. This latest one by Adidas has the hooped shirt but its internal design seems to be a considerable departure from the traditional Celtic mould. Likewise, the black stripes down the the arms seem to be considerably different and it’s causing a few raised eyebrows.

Nobody is ever going to love every Celtic strip universally and unconditionally of course, so it is a matter of taste most of the time. However, the reaction it has created online in the comments section of this latest instalment is quite revealing. Have a look at the reaction to the newest strip teaser below…

What an absolute mess, never a Celtic top. @adidasfootball stop messing about with one of the most iconic and instantly recognisable football tops in world football. @CelticFC stop letting them do so.

Safe to say Adidas might have some explaining to do or maybe when everyone sees it for themselves opinions might change. It might not be the best strip yet but it’s certainly not the worst! Have a look at this…

Apply this to the new home kit and the controversy around it and heres my thoughts. “I think it’s beautiful, its dead different an awe that”

Future classic, i can give you 10 homes recently that are under it. 🍀 pic.twitter.com/05lxX9TL4k
