Over in Tenerife for a few days. Bought the Tenerife strip as a present for someone
What’s the link with the St Andrews cross, which appears on their strip?

St Andrew is their patron saint also. As well as Ukraine, Russia, Georgia, Greece, Cyprus, Barbados and others.

The yellow, white and blue tricolour you'll also see about is the flag of the canary islands.

(Not sure if it’s also called the St. Andrew’s Cross or if it just looks the same)

There are a couple of theories , one is that it was inspired by some brave Scottish sailors in a battle at Tenerife , my favourite and the other is it has some Scottish Masonic connection.

Mind you, I'd rather go to Tenerife than Birmingham, UK - where the team play in blue and white at a ground called St Andrew's!

They've got a club shop across the road from aqualand and it sells all sorts of stuff with the saltire on. You'd think you were in the Scotland shop

I picked up the pink third strip when I was over there last year. I have a few now. Worth a visit up to Santa Cruz to see them play at home.

Having visited the place, I can assure all the mockers that St Andrew is A patron saint of Georgia. Seems, like many places, they have more than one. They celebrate St Andrew’s day on May 12th with a public holiday.
I await the apologies.Last edited by Frazerbob; 25-03-2018 at 01:52 PM.
