IT is the time of the year when football clubs release their new shirts for sale to fans in advance of a new season.
This year Celtic appear to have taken things a step further - by producing a Celtic top - with a twist of traditional Scottish fashion. They call it a Kiltee.
For £25 you can buy a Hoops top and kilt combo from the club's online store.
The site reads: "Is it a Kilt? Is it a T-shirt? No, It's a Kiltee."
"Introducing the Celtic Kiltee, available in adult sizes, perfect for showing your support and adding a touch of Scottish tradition!"
The kilt is essentially an extra-long shirt, with the kilt attached at the bottom and can be tucked inside clothing. But it can be pulled out to give a definite Scottish flavour to a Celtic' fan's support.
It has not gone down well with some.
The Sportsbible blog described it as "absolutely one of the worst things a football team has produced for its fans to buy".
The producers of Kiltee described it as a "unique and original item designed to have both a t-shirt and a kilt on a single garment, making it a fantastic novelty product for Scottish occasions of every kind".
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
