Celtic FC has today unveiled its new third jersey as part of the ‘Live the Legend’ campaign for the 2017/18 season.

The kit pays tribute to the achievements of the Lisbon Lions 50 years ago by featuring 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 Inter Milan are featured.

Completing the green New Balance kit collection for the season, the striking Vivid Cactus jersey is finished with a squared neckline with engineered ‘U’-shape.

Since being unveiled online this morning, the kit has received a mixed reception from fans.

However, Richard Wright, general manager of New Balance Football, said: “The third 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.”
