Nike go back to 1888 in new Celtic kit design.



We at Total Digital Football are big fans of a kit launch. So when we noticed Celtic & Nike had teamed up to create Celtic's new 125th anniversary kit we got a little bit excited. Of course, this is not the first time Nike and a football team has linked up to create a special anniversary kit, Arsenal only last year was given the similar treatment from the American sporting behemoth. 




A replica of the kit worn by the Celtic players in the very first match of the club in 1888, the 125th anniversary kit features a white shirt with a black collar backed with green, black shorts and green and black hooped socks.

The very first Celtic cross club crest has also been redesigned representing the club’s origin and Irish heritage. To go along with the stylish retro kit, the club has also created a smart promo  video highlighting the clubs history ending in a retro photo of the current team (see below). Celtic who have won a total of 43 Scottish league titles, are odds on favorites to win a 44th. With Old Firm rivals Rangers banished to the third tier of Scottish football following liquidation. 
Non the less the Celts who are currently placed 3rd in the SPL will be looking for a big season. After returning  to the Champions League after a four year wait, Celtic are set to play glamour ties against Barcelona & Benfica. 

Also a big special shout out to the guys at The 12elfth Man blog for the heads up!
