IT'S fair to say that the launch of Celtic's new black and gold away kit for the 2016/17 season has been met positively by most Hoops fans.
The understated design of the new top is a far cry from some of the colourful monstrosities the Parkhead club have unleashed on the public before.
However, many of those kits, which the 1990s are almost entirely responsible for, have entered folklore as fond and spectacular examples of how not to do it.

We decided to take a look back through some of the most memorable eyesores the Bhoys have released as an alternative to the famous green and white hoops.
1989/91 away kit
This garish yellow effort wasn't the first of its kind, but the blocky design laid down the gauntlet for the rest of the '90s to follow.
1991/92 away kit
Quite what the designers were thinking here is unclear. A muddy brown streak across the chest on top of a jagged white and pea-green lower half made for an ugly spectacle.
1994/95 away kit
The mid-nineties were the golden age of awful away kits at Celtic Park, with this strange effort paving the way for three consecutive seasons of questionable attire.
1995/96 away kit
Not quite so bright, but still pretty bad. The black and white stripes seem completely disconnected from the blocky green and black sections. No wonder Tosh McKinlay's complaining.
1996/97 away kit
The 'bumblebee' kit has lived long in the memory, with several copycat versions appearing in more recent years. Particularly useful for cyclists riding at night time.
