The story
Second shirt of the New Balance era and the first with Dafabet on the chest, a four-season deal that moved Magners to the back. The green of the hoops became a gradient, echoing the shirt worn in the 2003 UEFA Cup final in Seville, with a classic collar and a thin gold trim on the cuffs and shoulder seams. "A club like no other", Tommy Burns' words, runs along the neck tape and the inner hem. This one is the official replica, with a blank back.
It is the shirt of the Invincibles. In Brendan Rodgers' first season, Celtic went 47 domestic games unbeaten: 34 wins and 4 draws in the league, the title sealed on 2 April with a 5-0 at Tynecastle, League Cup and Scottish Cup both won against Aberdeen, the latter with Rogic's 90+2 winner. And Dembélé's hat-trick in the 5-1 over Rangers along the way.
Here at Hoopster, this shirt sits next to the training top from the same season: one warmed up perfection, the other wore it.
