Celtic’s 2025/26 Home Jersey: Learning from Past Mistakes

The Season of Leaks Begins

As 2025 begins, the usual wave of kit leaks and speculation is upon us. Fans eagerly anticipate the unveiling of the latest Celtic home jersey, hoping for a design that honours tradition while embracing modern trends. With Adidas set to release the Hoops’ latest look for the 2025/26 campaign, speculation is already rife about potential design choices and key details.

The Curse of the Yellow Piping

One particular design feature has historically spelled trouble for Celtic—yellow or amber piping around the collar. The first instance of this came during the 2008/09 and 2009/10 seasons when Nike introduced the controversial design. Adidas followed suit with the 2020/21 home kit, and once again, Celtic fell short in arguably their worst league campaign this century. Could this seemingly insignificant detail be a silent curse in Celtic’s fate, or merely a streak of cruel misfortune?

What Can We Expect from Adidas?

Adidas has generally played it safe with Celtic’s kits since taking over in 2020, offering classic renditions of the Hoops with minor tweaks. However, as other major clubs push boundaries with bold redesigns, will Celtic’s new jersey stick to tradition, or could we see a return of the infamous yellow-trimmed collar? Leaked designs will likely surface online in the coming months.

A New Jersey, A New Campaign

Superstitions may seem trivial, but they form a crucial part of football’s rich tapestry. Whether or not the 2025/26 jersey includes the dreaded yellow piping remains to be seen, but let’s hope not! One thing is certain—fans will be watching closely, hoping for a kit that not only looks the part but ensures success is brought back to Paradise.

As the leaks begin trickle in, will the Hoops avoid history’s mistakes, and is it going to be another season of dominance ahead?
