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 Disadvantages: Out of date for 08/09 season.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 home shirt. 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 home shirt for the 07/08 season.
A reccomended top! ...
Advantages: A nice looking, comfortable football shirt Disadvantages: The 'Fly Emirates' lettering has started to peel off on my shirt!
going to run around the very edge of the sleeves, but it doesn't complete a full circle, it stops just short. The collar on the shirt is also white.
The two stripes running down the sides of the shirt are a gold colour.
Altogether, the colour scheme on the shirt works really well. I think that the shirt looks pretty good, and is one of the best-looking Premiership shirts out at the moment.
TECHNOLOGY
In this football shirt, Nike have tweaked the main material so that it includes a thing called 'Nike Sphere Dry.' This means that there are hundreds of tiny little spheres all over the main material. The main reason for this technology been used is that the little spheres wick away the sweat from you body, and hold it in these little spheres. This is to keep you body cool, and at a good temperature, so you don't get too hot, and so ...
