Belfast Celtic.

That post clearly broke the board. And who did Belfast Celtic base their kit on...

Most Shams I've ever met think their kit is based on their bigger cousin's!

This year's kit is clearly based on the Bulmer's/Magner's logo anyway

That said is this sh!t not out of the way yet?. Sorry I never looked at the date it was on.

On another point how ill informed and thick is Michael Ring? He looks forward to welcoming fans from England and Scotland. Seriously. The entire attendance will come from this island.

From the ground.

Incorrect on the last point.

Maybe if you concentrated on the LOI it would grow instead of making snidey remarks about others who choose not to! Should we make snidey remarks towards Irish players who head across the water!

Pardon me, but I'm currently struggling to find any snide comment in the post you quoted. Could you help?

Not a current LOI team...

**DannyInvincible** · 24/08/2013, 9:31 AM

Do Celtic's hoops have a specific origin or inspiration?

**ArdeeBhoy** · 24/08/2013, 10:24 AM

Think they were 'stolen' from Hibernian, who'd based their own kit on Queens Park...

Originality was clearly an issue in Victorian times!

God love ya Rafa but your reply is the reply of a defeated, lost and broken man. I recommend Berocca or a break from football maybe.

And can we put some embargo on Irish lads signing their own death warrant and heading to Wolverhampton Wanderers!!!!

According to this, it was Scotland and not Hibs who adopted Queen's Park's colours: http://www.theguardian.com/football/...nowledge.sport

Celtic's famous shirts were inspired by Scotland's first Irish club, Hibs, who wore the green and white hoops (and the Irish Harp) from their inception in 1875. But Queen's Park enjoy the best bragging rights, says Richard Johnstone - their colours were adopted by the Scottish national team. "Queen's Park instigated the first ever known international fixture when they played England in Glasgow on St Andrew's day in 1872," says the club's website. "The Scotland team comprised entirely of Queen's Park players, who wore their club jerseys - dark blue in colour, the same dark blue as worn today by the national team."

Queen's Park then wore the the dark blue still worn by Scotland today. So, from where did Hibs' orginal hoops emanate?
