Celtic FC' black and yellow tradition

Such a bizzarre combination of colors, and yet used very frequently

Celtic FC' black and yellow tradition Such a bizzarre combination of colors, and yet used very frequently

After launching the home and away shirts, for New Balance, it was the time to announce the Celtic Glasgow's third shirt for the 2018/2019 season, with the campaign called 'Only the bold'. The main colors are yellow and black, as has happened several times in the more than 100-year history of the Scottish club. The jersey, however, at the time did not make a great appreciation from the fans, but his original fantasy still deserves a second chance. But where had we already seen a similar color combination, looking Borussia Dortmund style?

 

1996/98 Away

 

Although the yellow color officially appeared for the first time on a Celtic shirt in 1970, it was in the two-year period 1996-1998 that a 'bumblebee' uniform was adopted: two similar jerseys with horizontal stripes, signed by Umbro, which were also worn from two old representatives of Italian football like Enrico Annoni and Paolo Di Canio and a young Henrik Larsson.

 

2009/12 Away-Alternate

After a few years, the yellow shirt was back as an auxiliary jersey: first as an away shirt, then as a shirt to wear exclusively for the European campaign, then as a third jersey. Also, this time in a very simple horizontal striped version, even if produced by Nike and sponsored by famous beers companies such as Carling and Tennent's. A little more particular is the jersey used in the 2011/2012 season, created on a pattern made up of irregular and symmetrical lines.

 

2015/16 Third

The latest version dates back to the 2015/2016 season, with Celtic working on two fronts: Scottish Premier League and Europa League. This shirt produced by New Balance is structured on a yellow base with black horizontal stripes of decreasing size, starting from the chest and going down.
