The green and white hoops of Celtic are among the most enduring designs in world football. Unlike clubs that frequently reinvent their visual identity, Celtic’s core template has remained remarkably consistent - horizontal striping that immediately signals its Glasgow roots.
This collection features original vintage Celtic shirts and classic home and away kits that reflect how the club’s iconic hoops have been subtly reworked across different sponsor and manufacturer eras.
Celtic’s most sought-after shirts often combine traditional hoop execution with bold sponsor placement. 1990s Umbro templates, in particular, introduced structured collars and sharper detailing while maintaining the integrity of the striped pattern - making them highly desirable among collectors of vintage Celtic shirts.
Earlier designs leaned toward a purer interpretation of the green-and-white banding, while later adidas and Nike periods refined fabric technology and crest execution. Despite these adjustments, the horizontal hoop has remained untouched as the central symbol of the club’s identity.
From classic home shirts to yellow, black, and darker alternate kits, retro Celtic designs demonstrate how a historic template can evolve without losing its heritage.
Certain Celtic shirts are inseparable from landmark moments in European and domestic competition. Hooped templates from different decades often carry strong associations with specific footballing styles and standout performances.
Players such as Kenny Dalglish, Henrik Larsson and Scott Brown have become closely linked with particular sponsor eras and kit silhouettes. In many cases, the width of the hoop or the collar construction alone is enough to place a shirt within its period.
Rather than focusing on one generation, this range highlights how Celtic’s striped identity has been worn and reinterpreted across successive chapters at Celtic Park.
Celtic’s shirt legacy is built on consistency rather than radical change. The pieces within this collection retain the structural proportions, sponsor detailing and fabric qualities that define their original release.
Bringing together multiple decades of hooped design, these home and away shirts reflect the club’s enduring green-and-white tradition - authentic editions that preserve the character of their era.
