PIC: Celtic’s new away jersey lacks garish beauty of past glories

Under the radar

New Balance have the keys to the castle but appear to be playing it safe.

The Celts are making some astute signings under Brendan Rodgers and they have a beaut of a new home jersey to show them off in.

New Balance have yet to officially unveil the club’s away jersey but we were given a glimpse of what looks to be the kit they will wear on the road next season.

The kit designers have gone for a safe, black and gold number that will offend no-one but excite few.

Of course, these jerseys often look a whole lot better once seen on your favourite footballers so we will reserve judgement.

What we will say is that the jersey is lacking pizzazz. Celtic have had some cracking away jerseys in the past:

2009 – Luminous n’ lovely

St. Mirren v Celtic

2011 – Simple yet stunning

SL Benfica v Celtic FC - UEFA Champions League
