Scottish Premiership champions have released their 2015\/16 home kit from new technical sponsor New Balance. In the famous green and white hoops of The Bhoys, it is the first Celtic NB shirt following the end of their ten year association with Nike. It will be on sale at UK Soccer Shop<\/a><\/strong>,\u00a0Kitbag<\/a>, Subside Sports <\/a><\/strong>and World Soccer Shop<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to New Balance: For over 100 years, the iconic green and white-hooped kit has been a symbol of passion and pride for the faithful supporters of Celtic FC. In the newly designed home kit, New Balance is maintaining the club\u2019s illustrious traditions, while incorporating a modern twist. The kit is presented as part of a New Balance \u2018Live For Celtic\u2019 campaign, highlighting the passion all those associated with the Club have for it.<\/p>\n

In keeping with the team\u2019s tradition and identity, solid green hoops circle the bright white shirt, which are framed by finer hoop detailing to give the design additional depth. The clean sharp look is complimented by an integrated V-insert collar.<\/p>\n

Celtic\u2019s rich heritage is also celebrated with the inclusion of club message \u201cA Club like no other\u201d to the inner back neck and an external Celtic cross sign off. The kit is completed with crisp white shorts and white socks with green hoops.<\/p>\n

\"Celtic<\/a><\/p>\n

Celtic FC\u2019s captain Scott Brown said, \u201cAll the players were excited to hear New Balance would be making next season\u2019s kits and the designs were popular from the moment we saw them. We can\u2019t wait to wear them on the pitch.\u201d<\/p>\n

The kit incorporates NB Dry, technology that helps keep the body cool and dry whilst being active. The moisture wicking fabric releases moisture away from the body, making it fast-drying and it is anatomically fitted to form around the player\u2019s body shape for ease of movement. NB Flex technology, fiber construction that provides enhanced stretch for a less restrictive garment, is incorporated into the goalkeeper kit to help with motion and fit.<\/p>\n

Celtic Chief Executive Peter Lawwell commented: \u201cThe kit looks and feels modern; yet the traditions that bind this club and its supporters have been completely respected. We are delighted to enter this great new partnership with New Balance and we are confident our new kit will be a winner both on the pitch and with our fans.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Celtic<\/a><\/p>\n

Richard Wright, General Manager of New Balance Football, said, \u201cNew Balance has big ambitions and we can learn a lot from one of Europe\u2019s most prolific and successful clubs. Being able to design the home kit for Celtic FC and to include New Balance features NB Dry and NB Flex into the design; we know we have given the team all the tools they need to remain successful for years to come\u201d.<\/p>\n
