OPINION
Celtic’s kit for the 2019/20 season is an absolute eye-sore, so as expected, there are many fans on Twitter complaining about New Balance’s latest shocker. Celtic announced their new kit via their official Twitter account on Wednesday, but the hideous collar and the weird white bit around the shoulders just makes it look like a mess. Have New Balance forgotten to add an extra green hoop at the top of the design? Because that’s how it looks. It might not look that bad if there wasn’t that strange-looking white part on the shoulders. It just doesn’t look like a Celtic kit for whatever reason, it looks like it’s a Yeovil Town kit with the Bhoys’ badge slapped on it. Celtic fans are understandably praying for the club’s deal with New Balance to end after this poor effort of a kit. It really isn’t difficult with Celtic to make a nice kit. Just keep it simple, keep it green and white, and keep the hoops.
For the victories ahead.

I like the collar but it’s not hoops & that is pretty insulting.
