It will be interesting to see what Adidas come up with for Celtic this year in terms of away kits and merchandise. They seem to have been quietly elevated to Adidas top tier, or close to it. They got a heritage kit last year and have had a full player issue kit this year for the first time. I'd be surprised if they don't get a trefoil/originals kit.

If we were ever to go back to Adidas I'd assume we'd go in about where Aberdeen are. A lot of the merchandise stuff will just be off the shelf with a badge chucked on but you get at least one bespoke kit (and the last couple of Aberdeen away kits have been annoyingly good).

I think the terrible deal we had with a 3rd party for Nike put me off going for one of the big 2. The crap Avec training gear and the jackets and sweatshirts with the badge on the wrong side was laughable. I think we'd be big enough to avoid that with Adidas now.
Celtic are in the second tier of Adidas Elite status- known as "Local Elite" - so similar to Villa and NUFC they get lifestyle collections and authentic kits and trefoil on one kit, but they are only sold on a fairly local level - unlike the elite teams (Juve, Man U, Madrid etc) whose gear is punted in Adidas shops throughout the world.

Aberdeen actually had a bespoke Spezial collection (clothing and trainers) released by Adidas last season, so they are def getting some kind of a tailored offering.
