The formal pre-competition photo session has already taken place, but Celtic’s Champions League campaign will begin later this month.
Players can be seen posing in the pictures against a green Champions League background. The match and Foundation logos are emblazoned on the arms of the Bhoys’ official Champions League tops.
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.
The iconic hoops on the back of the shirt will be replaced with a solid white background for the Champions League, as confirmed by Hate’s image.
This change will ensure that the names and numbers are crystal clear and meet the strict UEFA regulations regarding kit visibility. The new font and color scheme for the Champions League nights will definitely stand out.
In the past, Celtic had to use a white patch covering most of the back of the shirt to ensure the names and numbers are clearly visible to match officials in order to avoid fouling UEFA guidelines.
As Celtic set ready to face stiff opponents in the competition, including Borussia Dortmund, RB Leipzig, and last season’s Europa League champions Atalanta, the hope is that their performances can reach a new level.
