New Balance Celtic 17-18 Third Kit Released
Jul 25, 2017, by Chris
New Balance's Celtic 17-18 third kit is 'Vivid Cactus Green' after last season's New Balance third kit boasted a striking pink look. The new New Balance Celtic 2017-2018 third jersey was released on July 25 2017, two months after the home kit and one month after the Forest Green away shirt.
Richard Wright, General Manager of New Balance Football said “The Euro kit has traditionally included some brighter elements and this season is no exception, the eye-catching finish offering the fans something fresh. In this commemorative 50th year anniversary for Celtic we have recognised the Lisbon Lions victory on each shirt, something which we think the fans will really like.”

Designed to stand out on the pitch, the new Balance Celtic 2017-2018 third kit will be luminous green. It is combined with black applications. In fact, Celtic already received a similar-colored kit for the 2010-11 season from Nike, even though it was Celtic's away kit back then.
The striking Vivid Cactus jersey is finished with a squared neckline with engineered “U” shape. The kit pays tribute to the incredible achievements of the Lisbon Lions 50 years ago, and features a special textured 50th anniversary black crest. The two teams who competed in the 1967 final have been commemorated in the inner back neck of the jersey, where the green and white hoops of Celtic and the black and blue stripes of F.C. Internazionale Milano are featured.
Black shorts and green socks complete the new New Balance Celtic 17-18 third kit.
The new Celtic 2017-2018 third jersey was revealed in late July 2017.

Previously, Japan premiered the original ensemble (black shorts and white socks) in a friendly match against Scotland, followed by an all-black shorts and socks variant during their 2026 FIFA World Cup Round of 32 clash with Brazil.
Leicester City 26-27 Away Retro Collection Released
Expanding on their retro-inspired aesthetic for the season, Leicester City and Adidas have officially dropped a new lifestyle apparel collection under the Adidas Originals banner. Following the popular launch of their Trefoil away shirt earlier this summer, the latest range focuses on timeless club heritage infused with classic Three Stripes street style.
The standout piece of the collection is a royal blue long-sleeve jersey adorned with an intricate all-over diagonal jacquard pattern. Much like the 26-27 away kit, the piece prominently features the iconic Adidas Trefoil alongside Leicester's nostalgic 'Running Fox' crest, which famously adorned the club's shirts until 1992. Matching royal blue three stripes run down the shoulders and sleeves to complete the vintage look.
Alongside the long-sleeve shirt, the collection includes an archival blue t-shirt with a bold white chest stripe, classic track jackets, hoodies, and matching track pants. The full Leicester City x Adidas Originals range is available now at the club's official online store and the Foxes Fanstore at King Power Stadium.
QPR to Wear Blackout Third Kit at Home
Queens Park Rangers have confirmed that they will step away from their traditional blue and white hoops for their upcoming home fixture, wearing their 26-27 blackout third kit instead when they host Middlesbrough. The club stated that the team will sport the alternative strip at home for one match only.
The one-off switch is tied to a community initiative organized in partnership with principal shirt sponsor MrQ and charity partner KitAid. Under the campaign, supporters attending the match are encouraged to trade in their old football shirts in exchange for a complimentary blackout shirt, with the donated kits distributed to disadvantaged communities across the globe.
Crafted by Italian brand Erreà, the stealthy 26-27 third strip features tonal dark hoops accompanied by subdued, murdered-out club crest and sponsor details.
