Celtic had to change its jersey to play in the Champions League

Ajax, forced to remove the three birds on the Bob Marley uniform, was the first 'victim' of UEFA's stringent uniform regulations. Then it was Inter Milan's turn to remove the snake from the away jersey, and later on Barcelona, who in the previous edition took to the pitch with an old jersey as they were not allowed to wear the away jersey in deference to Article 8.4, which prohibits reflective or iridescent logos. This year, however, it is Celtic's turn, as UEFA has informed the Scots that they will have to change the back of their jersey in order to play in the renowned competition. A compulsory change in order to return to play in the competition that everyone dreams of winning, the Scottish team will in fact be forced to remove the stripes and leave space only for the shirt number. 

UEFA's uniform regulations consist of a series of rules governing the colours, fonts and motifs on the kits with which clubs take to the pitch during competitions. As stated in one of the first points, the purpose of these regulations is to ensure the equal treatment of clubs, UEFA member associations, manufacturers and sponsors in a spirit of fair play and to support the quick and unambiguous identification of players by referees, spectators and television viewers. Many of the regulations are in fact designed to protect those watching matches by making them accessible even to those with partial visual impairments. Specifically, the Celtic jersey can disturb both viewers and referees, preventing them from seeing the name and number correctly. It is therefore not a scandal or a whim like the cases mentioned last year, adidas and Celtic have already fixed everything, hoping now to pass the round.
