Vintage Celtic shirts: what to know
Celtic's shirts fall into four manufacturer eras: Umbro (1985–2005), Nike (2005–15), New Balance (2015–20) and adidas from 2020. Vintage sponsors include CR Smith, People's Ford, NTL (1999–2003) and Carling (2003–10).
The most sought-after vintage Celtic shirts are:
- The 1987–89 Umbro centenary home shirt – from the club's centenary season, which ended with the league and Scottish Cup double.
- The 1996–97 Umbro "Bumblebee" away shirt – yellow and black hoops, worn by Paolo Di Canio, Pierre van Hooijdonk and Jorge Cadete, with Umbro's 1996 wordmark in place of the diamond. Read five reasons we love the Bumblebee.
- The 1997–99 Umbro home shirt – Henrik Larsson's first seasons, and the 1997–98 title that stopped Rangers winning ten in a row.
- The 2001–03 Umbro home shirt – the Larsson years, including the 2002–03 run to the UEFA Cup final.

How should I wash and store a vintage Celtic shirt?
