Advantages: Good material, available cheaper now. Disadvantages: Out of date for 08/09 season.
A tribute shirt to the European Cup winning Lisbon Lions of 1967, and a shirt that I love. Probably my favourite set of 'the hoops' I have owned.
Made from a stronger, better quality material than Nike used for the previous homeshirt. Better shade of green than the previous effort aswell.
Bottom right of the shirt as in the picture is stitching which says "It's a grand old team to play for". A nice touch. The badge is encircled by embroidery which is in Portuguese about the Lisbon Lions 40 th anniversairy.
It is important to bear in mind that since this shirt is to commemorate the 1966/67 season victory, it will only be in use by the Celtic first team for the 2007/08 season. However this has benefits as the shirt is now available for around £10 if you shop around.
All in all a great effort from Nike. ...
Advantages: Good material, different design from recent other away shirts Disadvantages: Maybe a bit on the plain side
Celtic away shirt which reminds of the shirt worn by Henrik Larsson when he scored in his last ever Scottish Cup final for Celtic.
All in all a very good shirt made from a durable material which is comfortable to wear. The stitching around the badge is embroidery which is in Portuguese and remembers the Lisbon Lions famous European Cup victory over Inter Milan in the 1967 final in Lisbon.
The bottom right of the picture is stitching which reads "It's a grand old team to play for" as sung by Celtic fans to this day, and in the tunnel of the Estadio Nacional pre-match in 1967.
The material is the same, as far as I'm aware, as used on the homeshirt for the 07/08 season.
A reccomended top! ...
Advantages: A new look, and better than ever Disadvantages: Price: still on the pricey side

Anyway back to the home strip i'm doing the review on. This strip can be bought from JJB shops for an average price of £35, however you are also given the choice to customize it, for example adding the name of your favorite player such as Steven Gerrard, which would appear "Gerrard" at the back at the top of the shirt.
Also you are given the opportunity to add the players number in bigger font on the back, however it does come at a cost of an extra £10. If you don't have a favorite player but want to customize it, you can get printed anything you want for example your name. The shirts can be bought customized and plain from the Liverpool website and JJB, the delivery is normally free. I would not recommend buying from ...
