New Balance to become Celtic FC jersey supplier?
In 2009, Celtic and Nike signed a 5-year kit deal which came into effect in July 2010, and will expire in Summer 2015. Nike has been Celtics' kit supplier since 2005. There is no sign of Nike and Celtic renewing their long-term partnership.
In early February 2015, New Balance fuelled previous rumors that the iconic brand will kit out Celtic from the 2015-16 season on Twitter.
