Product Information

Full details

This Celtic Gold Blackout 1988 Retro Shirt is designed for adult male fans who appreciate a blend of club heritage and modern style. Its key benefit is offering a versatile, sophisticated look that pays homage to the iconic 1988 design while providing comfort and durability for everyday wear. A potential caveat is that the blackout design, while modern, may be less immediately recognizable to some traditionalists than a brighter colourway.

FAQs

What material is the shirt made from?

The shirt is made from 100% polyester, designed for comfort and durability.

Does this shirt feature player name and number customization?

Yes, the description mentions that you can customise the jersey with the name and number of your favourite Celtic player or your own name, printed in the same style worn by the players.

Is this shirt suitable for playing football in?

While comfortable and breathable, it's designed as a retro fan shirt. For intense physical activity, modern performance kits might be more suitable, but it's perfect for casual wear or light participation.

What does the 'Blackout' in the name refer to?

The 'Blackout' refers to the sophisticated colourway, featuring tonal black and charcoal stripes instead of traditional bright colours, giving it a modern aesthetic while still referencing the club's iconic hooped design.

How does the grandad collar differ from a standard collar?

A grandad collar, also known as a band collar, lacks a traditional fold-over collar and has a simple, open neckline with a few buttons, reflecting the style of the late 1980s.

Can I wear this shirt for formal occasions?

While versatile, its design is rooted in sportswear. It's best suited for smart-casual settings rather than formal events.

Troubleshooting

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Machine wash cold (30°C) with similar colours. Turn the garment inside out before washing to protect prints and detailing.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or, preferably, hang dry to maintain fabric integrity and prevent shrinkage.

  • Bleaching: Do not use bleach or harsh detergents, as this can damage the fabric and colours.
