There's no question that Celtic fans could be doing with a pick-me-up after a pretty horrendous campaign and while a snazzy new look won't solve everything but it's a start.
The Hoops signed a deal with German giants Adidas last year thought to be the most lucrative in Scottish sports history, with the five-year agreement set to net the Parkhead club somewhere in the region of £30 million.
This season's strips were largely well received by the Celtic faithful but what do Adidas have in store for the forthcoming 2021/22 campaign?
Well, as template kits swirl around the web, we're still waiting on confirmation regarding any designs but Adidas have dropped a few clues which could point fans in the right direction.
What comes next will almost certainly be informed by the new Adidas kits which have been designed for this summer’s European Championships, with some nations unveiling their new uniforms earlier this week.
Manufacturers often create a basic template design which they then adapt for specific needs, meaning Celtic's new kit for next season is very likely to bare a resemblance to some of these strips below.
As you can see, each of the home shirts seems to share the same shape of crew-neck collar and seem to remain quite traditional, whilst the away shirts are much more experimental and eye-catching.
As usual there are also several very intriguing concept kits doing the rounds on social media - one or two of which are absolute crackers - and between these, and the Adidas templates, we should have a much better idea of how Celtic will be decked out come August.
