Celtic and Adidas have launched their latest line of 'Love Unites', a bespoke collaboration between a number of the German brand's partnered clubs and award-winning artist Rich Mnisi.

Black with flashes of rainbow, last year's designs were certainly different in their bid to project a pro-inclusivity message underscored by pride – which, of course, aligns with Celtic's own 'A Club Open to All' axiom.

A message on the official Celtic website on the above reads: "This range is an authentic celebration of pride, sport style, community and subcultures, and has been created by South African designer Rich Mnisi.
"The colour palette expands beyond the confines of a rainbow flag to signal a new era in Pride-wear, while the rallying cry LOVE UNITES sits front and centre, celebrating individuality and encouraging allyship.
"Adidas Love Unites aims to inspire people to create spaces where everyone feels heard, respected, and embraced for who they are – both in sport and beyond."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
