Celtic Unveil Stylish 2025-26 Kits: Hoops, Heritage & Bold New Looks

A Closer Look at Celtic’s 2025-26 Home, Away, Third and Goalkeeper Jerseys, Their Release Dates, Design Tweaks & Price Points

When it comes to kit launches, few clubs stir the emotions of their supporters like Celtic. The iconic green and white hoops are more than just a strip—they’re a symbol of tradition, pride, and identity. And for the 2025-26 season, Celtic and Adidas have once again teamed up to deliver a range of kits that blend the club’s deep-rooted heritage with a fresh, fashion-forward twist.

Let’s take a look at the new home, away, third and goalkeeper jerseys, the stories behind their designs, and when fans can get their hands on them.

The Home Kit: A Tartan Twist on a Timeless Classic

Celtic 2025-26 home kit

Unveiled on May 2, 2025, the new home kit is a tribute to Celtic’s proud traditions—yet with a touch of Scottish flair that makes it stand out.

At first glance, it’s the familiar sight every Celtic fan craves: green and white horizontal hoops, a design as synonymous with the club as Paradise itself. But look a little closer and you’ll spot a subtle tartan pattern woven into the green hoops. It’s a respectful nod to Celtic’s Glasgow roots and adds a layer of texture and distinction that modernises the timeless look.

The badge and Adidas performance logo are finely embroidered, adding a premium touch, while the Three Stripes appear in black—a sleek contrast that gives the kit a contemporary edge. Both the regular and long-sleeved versions are crafted using Adidas’s AEROREADY technology, designed to wick away moisture and keep players (and fans) cool under pressure.

Matching white shorts with green accents are available, and supporters can also pick up an alternative version without a sponsor—a rare find in the modern era.

Price:

• Standard adult jersey: £75 (approx. $100)

• Authentic player issue strip: £120 (approx. $160)

Away Kit: A Striking ‘Bumblebee’ Reimagined

Possible Celtic 2025-26 away kit

While the home kit leans into history, the away shirt for 2025-26 boldly steps into new territory—while still tipping its hat to a fan favourite of the past.

Based on credible leaks and recent behind-the-scenes images, the new away jersey features a black base with thin horizontal green stripes, echoing the spirit of the legendary “bumblebee” kits of old, albeit in a more understated, modern format. Reports suggest Jota recently donned the new away shirt during a promo shoot, meaning the official launch is likely just around the corner.

The green Adidas logo, club crest, and shoulder stripes create a bold contrast, while a discreet, embedded design gives the shirt texture and depth. For fans who enjoy a darker, edgier look—without losing that unmistakable Celtic identity—this one could become an instant classic.

Expected Release:

• July 2025

Price (expected):

• Similar to home kit: £75 for the replica, £120 for the authentic version

Third Kit: Off-White Elegance with a Hint of Risk

Every year, clubs roll the dice with their third kits—an opportunity to try something bold, stylish, or even outrageous. For 2025-26, Celtic’s third strip looks set to fall into the “stylish” category.

According to reputable sources like Footy Headlines, the third shirt will break new ground with a striking off-white base. It’s a shade reminiscent of Manchester United’s popular 2024-25 third shirt, but this will be the first time Celtic has ventured into such territory.

Though Adidas has yet to reveal the accent colours, early whispers point towards a vibrant green or contrasting trim that’s bound to pop against the off-white canvas.

Expect this one to turn heads on European nights and away days alike. Whether it’ll be a hit with the purists remains to be seen—but as a piece of fashion, it’s already generating a buzz.

Expected Release:

• August 2025

Price (expected):

• Likely aligned with other shirts: £75 replica / £120 authentic

Goalkeeper Kit: Bold Yellow with a Classic Touch

Alongside the unveiling of the home strip, Adidas also dropped the 2025-26 goalkeeper kit—and it’s a bright one.

The main goalkeeper jersey is a vivid yellow, ensuring the man between the sticks stands out in any crowd. Like the outfield kits, it features an embroidered Celtic crest and the Adidas logo, and it’s made with AEROREADY technology to keep goalkeepers dry during those high-pressure moments.

Supporters will have the choice of short or long sleeves depending on preference. The long-sleeve version brings that old-school goalkeeper vibe, while the short sleeve offers greater mobility—especially popular among younger keepers or those wearing the shirt casually.

Price:

• Short sleeve: £75 ($100)

• Long sleeve: £80 ($106)

• Shorts: £38 ($50)

• Socks: £20 ($26)

More Than Just Kits: Adidas Elevates Celtic’s Merch Game

The ongoing partnership between Adidas and Celtic, which began in 2020, has grown into one of the most successful kit collaborations in British football. The 2024 financial year saw merchandise revenues hit a whopping £30.1 million—an impressive jump that speaks volumes about the appeal of the kits and the strength of the brand.

Part of that success is due to the fact that Adidas has elevated Celtic to “local elite” club status, allowing for a wider array of bespoke kit designs, fashion items, and limited-edition drops that rival even top-tier European clubs.

It’s no longer just about what the players wear on the pitch—it’s about what the fans wear in the stands, on the streets, and beyond. From casual streetwear to retro-inspired gear, Celtic’s merchandising game is stronger than ever.

Final Thoughts: A Kit for Every Kind of Supporter

Whether you’re a die-hard traditionalist who demands your hoops stay green and white with no fuss, or a trend-savvy fan keen to snap up the off-white third shirt before anyone else, the 2025-26 range has something for everyone.

With Adidas continuing to push creative boundaries while respecting Celtic’s heritage, this looks to be another memorable season for shirt collectors, match-going fans, and casual supporters alike.

From the iconic tartan hoops to the bold bumblebee redux, Celtic’s 2025-26 kits aren’t just shirts—they’re statements. And you can be sure they’ll be flying off the shelves the moment they drop.
