The Celtic kit on Sunday against Dundee will be a unique sight, with the club set to use the Celtic FC Foundation Christmas Appeal logo instead of traditional sponsorship from Dafabet and Magners.
The club announced the initiative earlier today, with the gambling and alcohol companies replaced by the effort to raise money for good causes.
Celtic said: “As we look ahead to the 134th anniversary of the formation of our Club and the launch of the Christmas Appeal phase of our Football for Good Fund (FFGF) this weekend, we are delighted to confirm that the Celtic first-team will sport our unique Appeal logo on the front of their shirts for Sunday’s Cinch Premiership match against Dundee – thanks to the incredible support and generosity of Club sponsors Dafabet and Magners.
“These unique match issue shirts will also include our ‘Football for Good’ branding on the reverse and a selection will be signed and made available via an online charity auction, through our eBay account, from Wednesday, November 10 to Monday, November 15. Full details will be provided early next week.
“One of the Christmas Appeal logo shirts will also be kept aside for a free prize draw – and everyone who contributes to this year’s Appeal will be in with a chance of winning it.”
The club have also published a video for the launch of the Christmas Appeal, featuring words from Tommy Burns and Ange Postecoglou.
Money raised will be used to ensure hundreds of families have a Christmas to remember, with food on the table and presents under the tree.
Celtic FC Foundation are also aiming to help pensioners, women and in refuge, the homeless community and refugees throughout December and beyond.
Hopefully, this high profile effort to promote the launch of the campaign against pays off with fantastic donations and support from Celtic supporters and football fans in general.
