Nice top ruined by the sleeves.

[Vault Boy]

Not too keen on that either. We've had a few questionable ones from Adidas I think.

[GreenOnions]

Deary me. It's like they had some extra material left from other strips and decided to use it on these sleeves instead of waste it.

Or - maybe it's supposed to hint that you're wearing a sneaky Hamilton Accies top under the Scotland one?

[California-Hibs]

Sleeves are questionable but its better than the current top. I'll get it.

[Speedway]

Is this yet another retro nod?

This time to Mexico ‘86?

[FilipinoHibs]

Love the current one. A timeless classic. I will wear for the rest of my life.

[Pretty Boy]

Do other international teams change kits as often as Scotland? There seems to be a kit launch every other week.

Yes, I know it a commercial thing before anyone jumps in but I think this is about the 7th or 8th kit in 5 years. Off the top of my head we have had the all navy with red socks, the Roseberry kit, the one with white sleeves, pink and black, current kit and yellow away kit.

New kits for every campaign, or every finals to be precise. So every 2 years, same as all other nations. Unfortunately we don’t get to show ours off at the tournaments. All the Euro finalists will be sporting a new strip for the tournament. We do seem to be launching it earlier this time for some reason.

[Blaster]

The problem is the cost. Think they are tied in with JD Sports so they set a high price and no challenge as nobody else can sell them

I think it feels like this because the home and away tops come out at different times

hoping to sell them ahead of the play-offs as we are likely to get knocked out and not reach the tournament I should think. Personally I think it's horrible.

[SouthMoroccoStu]

The tie dye stripes are poor (not groovy at all dude)
and the sleeves look like something from a Dundee shirt in the 1980s

It's a no from me

[Just_Jimmy]

For £65, the, the SFA, adidas and JD sports monopoly can take a long walk off a short pier.

Agreed, it’s bogging. They’re obviously hoping for some xmas sales too. Which does make sense.

Yikes, like a Scotland shirt pyjama top. Will not be getting.

[#persevered]

It's a bit too much like a rangers home top for my liking. I'll skip this one

[One Day Soon]

Have we ever had a top that reflected the saltire? Peru's white with the red diagonal strip is one of the best kits in the world and I don't see why we couldn't wear blue with the cross of St Andrew across the front.

[BlackSheep]

Yuk.

[wpj]

Still have the 1998 top for the France world cup, cant ever see me replacing it. Classic shirt

[Sylar]

It's like a mixed Celtc/Rangers top - blue red and white with hoops...

It also looks cheap and ugly.

It sums up everything about the national side at the minute - honking and Glasgow-centric.

[Wee Effen Bee]

Only Scotland can fk up an Adidas top! Shocking! Is the red a nod to the bad old days when the old SFA board insisted the colours of the national team were Union Jack red, white and blue? The socks were red previously!

[hibbyfraelibby]

All Scotland football tops are bowffin.

Wrong shade of blue with overtone of weegie schemie

[Since90+2]

Honking. Abit like the team I suppose.

Confirmed to be the new home kit.

[Carheenlea]

The shorts look they are from a different kit - bit of a mix mash like most of our 5’s rig outs.

Looks cheap (which of course it’s anything but)

[Glory Lurker]

Bowfin.

Wont be buying one :wink:

That was my first thought, the Mexico kit, though not as good. Don't like it at all.

[Jones28]

How can you **** up a dark blue top?

Leave it to the SFA.

[Bristolhibby]

This with Adidas stripes right down the sleeves from the neck.

White shorts, red socks. Done. An instant classic.

Get that Team GB nonsense directly tae ****.

[JOD]

Why is there red in a Scotland strip.
The last time I looked at the saltire it was blue /white.

[Hibernia&Alba]

That's what I thought, hence I never like red socks in the Scotland strip. Then again, England wear blue shorts; perhaps it's the shared Britishness :fishin:

[CloudSquall]

They've used the same shorts and socks from the current away strip which is why they don't match with the top.

Got to ask yourself who the ... looked at this kit and approved it?

You ever noticed that creature in the middle of the badge?

Yep, and that isn’t a Saltire, it’s the royal standard.

Only in Scotland can’t the national flag be incorporated into the strip.

The current new strip is horrible.

[Diclonius]

£65 for another shirt we won't see at a major tournament.

I'll pass.

[Coults1875]

Went to the launch night last night (be the first to see the new shirt) and in true SFA fashion they uploaded the new shirt to social media before the actual launch took place :rolleyes:

The top itself if actually not bad in person, i wasnt keen on it when i seen the leak above but i ended up buying it last night. Not to worried about the red as we have had red in our kits before but its the navy shorts that i don't understand. They don't even match the top :confused:

[mcohibs]

Not really true in fairness. Germany, Italy, Netherlands, New Zealand,
Northern Ireland, Australia to name a few all have strips that do not resemble their flags at all. There's a lot of other factors that go into a nation's home kit.

Red has been a consistent feature of Scotland home and away kits for years (as has yellow as they both feature in the Lion Rampant) - don't know why everyone is so up in arms that it features on the sleeves?

[Springbank]

I'll bite...perhaps we should take it further and sing God Save the Queen at the anthems

Does anyone else know of another national anthem worldwide that has a verse saying anything like "crush the rebellious Scots", like God Save the Queen does?
It seems remarkable, that an anthem could incite the crushing of a group *within* the nation.

Unimaginable that v3 of Flower of Scotland would say "those days are past now, and in the past, they must remain, except for the Fifers, who should be crushed all over again"...

It actually doesn't.

There was a verse added that included that line, in the late 18th century, but it's not in the current version and it's debatable if it was every in any 'official' version of the song.

However, I am a republican* and would feel queasy singing about an allegiance to our anachronistic monarchy.

I said that for effect, but the German strip has the eagle on it , which is a well known symbol of imperial Germany, the Italian Strip has the Italian national colours on it's badge and the Dutch Strip traditionally incorporates a rampant lion , which features very strongly on the countries royal coat of arms. Northern Ireland is maybe a bit of a unique case and there is no way the Australian or New Zealand football tops are going to incorporate a Union Jack as part of their badge, are they?

I like the lion rampant badge, but I'm not a fan of red on the Scotland top. Searching on like, the true pedant I am, show that there was no red in the Scotland top for the whole of the 50's, 60's 70's and 80's. There was a red sleeve trim from 96-98 and again during 08-09.

My conclusion is that red has never been a consistent feature of the Scotland home top, only being present for c 4 years out of the past 70. The current top is poor regardless.

Personally I like blue shirt, white shorts, red socks.

Dalglish wore it, Archie Gemmill wore it. It was strip that had us playing great football and qualifying. The new shirt is horrid, but I have no issue with red socks.

Your first paragraph only confirms my point that there is more to a team's national kit than their flag (I'm well aware of those countries' traditions you've outlined) and also that Scotland is in fact not a unique case, which you seem to have been suggesting it was - 'only in Scotland does the kit not incorporate our flag'

I never claimed that red was a consistent feature on Scotland tops (it isn't - apart from the badge), I did say that it has regularly featured in Scotland kits throughout the years (shorts, socks included) - which it has almost since inception of the national team. My point was, why are folk so opposed to the colour red now when its been part of our kit for over one hundred years? In fairness, it wasn't your post that was opposed to red, rather JOD's post below...


Why is there red in a Scotland strip.
The last time I looked at the saltire it was blue /white.

[TelaStella]

I think our last two (current one especially) have been the best we’ve had for a long long time so its hard work to keep producing something better every time. I think this effort isn’t actually that bad at all but agree that the sleeves are a bit of a put off. As some have said already it doesn’t seem that long ago since the latest one was released, why change so soon?

We had a wee spell 10-15 years ago where we didn’t have reference to the SFA on the badge. Wish we’d go back to that. Imagine forking out £65 for the pleasure of promoting that shower of incompetents. Talk about adding insult to injury!

I used to think international strips that just had the country’s flag as the badge were lame. Turkey’s has convinced me over the years that they aren’t. I’m open to other non-SFA symbols, but I wouldn’t mind us just having the saltire - Pantone 300 saltire though, please.

Looking at your link, at least 4 home shirts in my time following Scotland have featured red and almost every year has had either red socks or red in the away kit. (The wee cartoons don’t include every little detail incidentally) I don’t recall a fuss when our France 98 shirt featured far more red than this one. Why has it become such an issue this time?

For the avoidance of doubt, I think it’s a crap strip, just not sure why folk are losing their **** because of the red bits.

I’m not going to argue with you but the Historical Kits images are very good on detail. Red isn’t a common feature on Scotland home strips. Its use on the rare occasions its been used in the past has been quite subtle imo. The sleeve trims with that bright red colouring look almost like an afterthought to me. It adds nothing to the strip and looks out of place.

[Renfrew_Hibby]

Deep purple instead of the red would've been much nicer. White shorts with dark blue socks (white and purple trim) would complete the look.

And no silly watermark hoops either.

‘I’m not going to argue but’ lol. I’m no arguing either. It’s a discussion on a forum. The fact remains that red has been used numerous times on home shirts, home shorts, home socks and away shirts over the last 30 plus years and nobody gave two hoots. I’m baffled as to why its a big deal this time.

Didn't this all start when somebody said it was because of the SFA's desire to emulate the colours of the Union Flag?

That sounds like total paranoia to me.

Surely now that the shade of blue on the Scotland flag has been finally decided, Scotland should be switching to that.

Except the colour isnt 'Royal Blue' its Pantone 300 sky blue.

I never understood how the flag ever got produced in that dark midnight blue colour anyway ... When Angus Mac Fergus looked up into the East Lothian sky in 832 to see that white cross its highly unlikely it was in the middle of the bloody night, its far more likely to have been during daytime when the sky was .... ermm, sky blue :greengrin

Now that the colour of the Saltire has been officially settled perhaps someone should tell the UK government, coz I notice union flags, including the one they fly over parliament, still doggedly stick to dark blue.

To be honest I always thought Scotland should play in purple .... thats a colour that says 'Scotland' to me far more than blue of any shade does :rolleyes:

[Keith_M]

Except the colour isnt 'Royal Blue' its Pantone 300 sky blue.



It;s definitely not Sky Blue. The sky in Scotland is grey!


Anyway, whatever the pantone number is, it looks very Rangersy

[Lancs Harp]

Doesnt the shade of blue of the Scotlands shirt originate from Queens Park and nothing to do with the saltire?

Scotland adopted the dark blue shirts from the first international with England when the entire team was made up of Queens park players and even used their then strip, which was blue shirts before they adopted the black and white spider strip they have since become famous for.

[Greentinted]

Seen it in the flesh yesterday and it’s even worse looking than the pictures. Horrendous.

This, apparently, is true. Red socks were introduced much later, for reasons one can only speculate about.

All the same - 'Mon the pantone 300! Beat it, red!

Seems the online world and real life are poles apart. Loads of folk wearing the new shirt in Cyprus. Looks better on TBH but still not a great shirt. Incidentals, they’re not hoops as the back is plain.

I thought it looked ok, too many folk on the outrage bus

What the hell is the red stripes on the sleeves all about ? Trying to get Hun support ?

Exactly. Exhibit A above.

I actually thought after seeing a few in Cyprus in person that it’s not so bad. Still not a huge fan and it is the sleeves I don’t quite like. Not one of our best but if we end up qualifying in it it’ll be right up there ;)

I don’t think it’s simply “red” (pardon the pun) on the top that’s irking people. It’s the red, white and blue one after the other...

Thought it looked fine.

Just back from Cyprus, and I agree that it looks better in the flesh.

BTW, there are a lot of Hibees following Scotland these days.

I was one of the people who said they didn't like it. The main colour looks much darker and nicer than some of the original pics and the sleeves actually don't look too bad. Probably helps seeing John McGinn in it and scoring :greengrin

Why is there red in a Scotland strip.
The last time I looked at the saltire it was blue /white.Probably to please one side of Glasgow.
