Quiet smart. Out tomorrow.

That is f*ckin horrible.

It's not the best picture granted.

Found a better pic... (scroll down a few posts.)

Tartan Army

But it does look better. The socks are a bit shocking...lol

I like the neckline - far prefer v-neck to the round neck but the downside is the collar, it looks like a somewhat subdued throwsback to the 70s ! (mantis will explain )

Here's the pic for those that cant be bothered going to the other link

That is pretty old school in style, plain, with the old collar there. At last the designer has done himself proud with a very simple design.

I like it, although I would probably have preferred blue socks with white instead of the red which just doesn't seem to fit with the rest of the strip.

I like it. It's very possibly the seventies styling that appeals to me.

Didn't like it when I first saw those pictures yesterday; but when I saw the players walk out with it at the press launch I changed my mind for some reason. Similar to what happened with our new kit!

Nice return to tradition with the red socks, must be near 20 years since the scotland strip had red socks?

Interestingly it seems that the reason for Scotlands colours is due to Queens Park ! ** link **

Put Archie Gemmill in it and you couldn't tell between his and that.

Hideous

I must be getting old. I don't think I've liked a Scotland strip since they moved to Diadora. They looked like a team you could believe in wearing Umbro. Diadora is fit for the welfare league.

The strips look good yes, But my only problem is that again we are trying to refer to our past teams, when we are suposed to be aiming forward with this one. I appreciate it was a good time for scotland. But we need the strips to be unique to us now, so that any of this teams success can be assosiated with the strip, just like from back then.

lost to see what a strip design has with us looking forward or suggesting we are trying to refer to past teams, not much you can do with a blue top? whatever the players wear doesnt make any difference

the strips a vneck but doesnt have a collar, white parts are actually sewed into the strip but gives the illision its a collar/polo shirt

It's like an old scotlandtop with modren socks.

so dosen't go.

fashion disaster.

kinda like it although i think Scotland blue socks would have been better. It seems to suit the likes of Hartley better than a picture of David Clarkson i saw. In other words it looks good on Hartley but pretty crappy on David Clarkson.

Definintely a man not a boys top. Very "I was born pre 1985" Looks a bit too retro for the young uns!

PS i know nothing on fashion. One must only look at my shirt collection.

I think your right, and in order to address the issue, anyone representing Scotland should have to grow a dodgy beard and/or moustache and large sideburns. Anyone failing to do so will be provided with sticky on ones.

Oddly enough, Paul Hartley, one of the players chosen to model the strip, usually has all three but appears to have shaved them off for this shoot. Or perhaps they were 'sticky on' all along and blew off in a stout west-coast breeze...
