We know that Celtic are not the only club in the world to wear the green and white hoops.

The Celts are probably the most famous club to wear them though, along with 21-time Portuguese champions Sporting CP.

Shamrock Rovers of Dublin, who like Celtic are part-owned by Dermot Desmond, also wear the Hoops.

The pattern is iconic around the world, and it’s not uncommon to see clubs take inspiration for the design.

And one Brazilian club, who usually play in all green, have become the latest to sport the hoops – and they have certainly executed it well.

Brazilian side’s new Celtic-inspired kit

Much like Scotland, Brazil is known for its fanatical football culture.

It also isn’t short on clubs that play in green – Palmeiras are probably the most famous, along with Juventude and Goias.

But Coritiba, the most successful club in the state of Parana, may be Celtic fans’ new favourites in the country having released an absolute beauty of a green and white hooped kit.

They have called the jersey the ‘Warrior Soul’, inspired by their shirt from the 2007 season in which the club achieved a dramatic promotion.

Feast your eyes on this.

The kit has received plenty of positive reactions in Brazil, from fans of the club and others.

Coritiba were founded in 1909 by German immigrants in the city, so there are plenty of parallels there with the Celts.

How is ex-Celtic man Alexandro Bernabei doing in Brazil?

Alexandro Bernabei was on fire on loan at Internacional last season, earning Celtic a profit in making a permanent switch to the Brazilian giants.

Hoops fans know he can be a bit of a chaotic figure – so they won’t be surprised to learn that he was sent off in the Grenal derby last weekend.

The rivalry is seen by many as one of the most intense in Brazil – Bernabei is racking up the world-famous derbies in his portfolio. His side lost the game 3-2.

Flamengo are currently top of the ‘Brasileirao’ – had things gone slightly differently in the summer, they’d have had Celtic academy product Mikey Johnston running down the wing at the Maracana.
