    EH?

    thats the away kit, this design with the shamrock came about in around 1948 after using it once in 1926 for a season, the green sleeves were not introduced until 1955, we wore the same idea with the design changed a few times up until 1964 then we had our first all green away top since 1936.

    tut tut :38:

    first home top as someone said earlier was all white, red badge for some reason and a green cross on it[​IMG]

    What about changing the actual crest? I`m all for keeping tradition but the centinary year crest was fantastic

    No way do you mess with the hoops. That is part of our identity now and although not the original home Celtic top it is very much part of our heritage as a club and what we have become having being first worn in 1903.

    Personally I would rather our away strip was in a hoop design of some sort as well although I can live with that one being changed around.

    No need to do anything with the Celtic crest either. It looks perfect to me as is:celt_2:

    How would some people feel if the home strip was changed for just one season then?

    One season or one day, it matters not. Celtic are known for their Hoops and it shall stay that way. :50:

    Does anyone know where i could buy this jersey. I love it.

    No way would i ever change the hoops. I didnt mind the one with the white line down the sides it still had the hoop effect and to be honest i didnt even notice till i heard people giving out about it
