Kit Clash? Celtic Have No Fitting Shirt for Dark and Light Striped Opposition
Sep 25, 2022, by John
Last week in the Scottish Premiership, Celtic had a slightly unusual kit choice in their 2-0 away loss against St. Mirren. This resulted in bad distinguishability between the two sides.
Celtic Lack Contrasting Kit
St. Mirren traditionally play their home games in black and white striped kits with black shorts and socks.
Oddly enough, this puts Celtic in quite a predicament in terms of kit choice. Their home shirt was ruled out as the fair amount of white hoops clash with St. Mirren's white stripes.
Celtic's striped black away kit is by far the worst choice, as it shares a similar look to St. Mirren's shirt.
This leaves only Celtic's 22-23 third kit, which has a grey base, black shorts and grey socks. This option is not quite satisfying either, as the shorts clash. Not only that, but the jerseys also do not provide optimal contrast.
We think Celtic's regular home outfit would have been the best of the three options, as it would result in a mainly white side against a predominantly black one, regardless of stripes or hoops.
For comparison, both St. Mirren and Celtic wore their away shirts in last season's St. Mirren home match. The year before, Celtic had a light green option that sufficed.

No More Nike: Adidas Croatia 2026 Training Kits Revealed
Following their switch from Nike to Adidas, Croatia's new training kit set for 2026 have been unveiled in the latest training camp for youth teams' goalkeepers.
However from what we've seen, both of the new jerseys are simply from Adidas Tiro 26 League template range, using default black and grey color choices. These are very likely just temporary options for the mean time, until the actual designs with probably bespoke colorways are officially released.
