Celtic 08/09 kit Home nike launched
We already showed you a leaked picture a while ago, but today Celtic officially unveiled their new home kit. The new Hoops will go on sale officially from Thursday, August 21, 2008, but supporters can pre-order the kit today.
The kit uses Nike Sphere Dry fabric technology, first used by Nike in national team kits worn in the 2006 World Cup. This technology is designed to enhance player performance by wicking sweat through the material and away from the skin.
The fabric has a three-dimensional design with raised nodes on the underside that lift it away from the players’ bodies to reduce ‘cling’ and allow air to circulate, assisting the body’s own natural evaporation process.
On the inside collar of the shirt, similar to the new gold away kit, are the words: “It’s not the creed nor nationality that counts. It’s the man himself,” a quote from Willie Maley, one of the most iconic figures in the club’s history and words which proudly demonstrate Celtic as a club open to all.

Nicest Celtic kit in a long time... better than the new Rangers kit.
Hartley looks like a Gypo... appropriately
The great un-washed will soon have the white hoops turned into grey.
Whereas Rangers new kit, although stil obviously blue, its a different design and better.
1. gold nike swoosh
2. no lisbon round da celtic badge
3. v-neck (green) coller
4. celtic n nike on green hoop(usually da white)
5. gold trim on sleeve
so obviously rovers92...u havent even compared the rwo tops coz i have given u 5 differences :angry:
I think this one\'s OK, the gold does give it a bit of a different look. Hopefully, the European version of this one won\'t have the hoops completely cut off the back, like last season. That looked weird.
Its 08/10 Though Lol
the kit is fantastic and it keeps in tone with tradition so its good, im sick off people saying \"it\'s just the same\" because its the hoops and we would loose it if they changed it.
although our kits tend to look the same at least they are individual, I can thank of quite a few shirts using the same as the rangers kit and no doubt there will be more coming before the new season, how many other teams have nike given our kit to???????????
I have last years Celtic shirt and I wont buy this one because they\'re too similar, but that\'s a good thing, I can spend money on a couple other kits this year.
Plus, the Leoes de Lisboa thing last year was hella sick.
Anyways I\'m going to shut up now before I get clubbed round the head for talking NFL on here
It\'s the same template as used for Villa\'s and Porto\'s kits this year. I do see your point though, as a Villa fan there\'s only so much you can do with claret body & blue sleeves.... Green and White hoops is the same IMO. Change and the team loses it\'s identity :huh:
Take the new Arsenal shirt. They tinkered with the red body and white sleeves and ended up making a shirt that many fans aren\'t happy with, becuase of the lack of all white sleeves
Anyways, I do like the gold on the jersey it adds some pop being that there is only a little bit of it. I think the gold was borrowed from Celtics UEFA jersey a year or two ago, the white one with the green and gold verticle stripe.
One major reason why I like Celtic is because their home kit is always consistent with the prior years, I feel bad for all those Arsenal fans who gotta deal with their new home kit, it\'s awful.
altho i must admit that i prefer the colour of rangers shirts more than celtic and personally i don\'t give a f@ck about religion...
the biggest disgrave imo is a scottish team that has the union jack on its shirts and supporters that wave union jacks and give hitler-salutes...
I am a Livingston fan I just hate Celtic.
4-2 4-2 4-2 4-2 4-2 4-2 4-2
Whens carling getting replaced as sponsor? Their logo spoils celtics top more than rangers cos of the clash of direction.
Btw re above, celtic have no obligation to put any reference to scotland on their kit. But i wish their fans (those who are born and raised in scotland at least) would wave a few more scotland flags (the lion rampant if they dont like the blueness of the saltire) and less Irish tricolours. Cos that IS an embarrassment.
