The formal pre-competition photo session has already taken place, but Celtic’s Champions League campaign will begin later this month.
The images show players standing against a green backdrop from the Champions League. The Bhoys are looking great in their official Champions League jerseys, which include the Foundation and match logos on the sleeves.
Reo Hatate is seen in a picture pointing at his name and number on the back of his Celtic shirt, and it has drawn a lot of attention from fans. But more than just the gesture is noteworthy—the back of Celtic’s champions league edition shirts has an interesting design.
Domestically, this year’s Celtic uniform has a unique layout with the players’ names emblazoned in black writing immediately above the green hoops rather than the typical bold white outline that supporters have grown accustomed to. Reactions to this design decision have been divided because it can make the names more difficult to read, particularly up close.
In order to comply with UEFA regulations, Celtic has occasionally had to wear a white patch that covers the majority of the shirt’s back to guarantee that the players’ names and numbers are seen by match officials.
Hatate’s image has now verified that the team would be given unique jerseys for the Champions League, which will have a plain white background instead of the famous hoops on the back. This change makes sure that the names and numbers are very visible and complies with the strict UEFA kit visibility standards. There’s no denying that the Champions League nights will stick out with their new text and colour palette.
It is envisioned that Celtic’s performances would elevate as they prepare to take on formidable competition in the form of Borussia Dortmund, RB Leipzig, and last season’s Europa League winners Atalanta.
