The Scottish FA launched the new adidas Scotland home kit, which will be worn against the Czech Republic at Hampden on Wednesday night and then for the European Championship Qualifying Campaign.
adidas have designed the kit to reflect Scotland’s long football heritage. With a classic look of dark navy shirt with white trim, white shorts, and bright red socks it draws inspiration from the national flag, the team crest and past iconic strips.
The replica home kit will be available in the FSC Shop. in June 2010 followed by the training wear in July. The away kit will be launched in August and the Leisure wear in Spring/Summer 2011.
Technical details
The new shirt incorporates the following adidas technologies:
• ClimaCool™ - engineered mesh that allows heat and sweat to escape while bringing cooling air into contact with the skin. All seams are sewn flat to reduce irritation while running, and engineered fabric offers open mesh in critical heat zones.
• ForMotion™ - allows complete freedom of movement. Radical cuts and 3D designs follow the shape of your body to increase comfort and improve performance.
Design details
Styled in the national colours with a large embossed tonal Scotland crest on the front of the shirt the kit has a great sense of pride and honour. The bright red socks, with the word “Alba” knitted in, emphasises the patriotic feel to the kit and the high quality finish, alongside the woven badge on the chest, will inspire greatness.

PS: First!
Who gives a censored whether you're the first one or not?
As opposed to an England kit whick is basically a white t-shirt...yes I see your country has a hug amount imagination in the home, away and goalkeeper kits!
censored england are strip is well better than your shite
whilst he wandered off to make a cup of tea ?
Very3 well said man!
This isn't an old templete, It's got the same neck as argentina....that's it.
The badge on the front is pretty unique too.
...and Romania, Finland, Denmark, Hungary, Nigeria, etc... All from 2008/09 or before...

I agree the templates are similar, but this is not old.
check all the new designs and you will see.

The watermark looks stupid and the number placement is just weird plus the shirt lacks any style, class or imagination.
Seems like Adidas have just thrown something together at the last minute without any thought, hopefully the future kits will look better than this mess!
p.s Alba means Scotland in Gaelic.
Lets just be happy with that!!!
it's not crap, and it's not amazing, we will have a custom kit for next years campaign.....
This is good enough for now.........
Except for that; the shirt is decent.
Not brilliant, just decent.

The front shirt numbering's high position creates an imbalance. It would look better if positioned lower.
Plastic paddy's eh....
you're embarrassing "mon the republic of ireland" its that sort of pish from old firm fans thats got nothing to do with supporting the scottish national team
P.S I'm no Hun
This is the best Scotland kit singe pre-1985. Granted the watermark is unnecessary and the shorts are slightly on the baggy side, but the classic colours are back and I think the three stripes look very good on a Scotland kit.
It's a pit that there is a break in the stripes down the arms...but people talking about the top being baggy: It's really down to the individual players pysique and what size of top he chooses. No doubt these same people would love to bring back shorts ala Socretes 1982 so they can ogle the players gonads without having to use their limited imaginations.
I have style. Enough style to now not buy football kits, but that is a good Scotland kit....and they'll get better still.
Japan always has a cool kit...I hope Scotland go down that road....
I wonder what adidas have instore for the away kit. I would love to see a return to the red/navy 70s - 80s Unbro style.
No Salmon Pink please, or that horrible shade of yellow!

I disagree with you. To me, the best Scotland shirt was the one they used in Euro 2006. It was just beautiful.
WTF are you talking about???
There is no red in our national flag. Unless you are referring to that unionist rag???
The 'ALBA' on the socks is a nice touch though.
I agree with vigilante, it looks better without that daft SFA motif in the centre.
Whether you like it or not, if you're a true Scotland fan you'll probably buy it.
Quoting Aonghas:

Shame Scotland never continued with FILA I've seen the current FILA templates very retro styled kits like the last Scotland home kit FILA did

¡Fuerza Chile!
I thought Brooks went belly up years ago not heard from Brooks since QPR's kit in 1991/92
like changing the 2 white lines down the stomach to sky blue and outline the white stripes with sky blue.
Just like Diadora...
This is a decent kit compared to most.
Nike make the most fashionable and best shaped kits.

you must be colour blind
Just going on what my guide dog told me
Anyone agree?
I personally would have greeted a round badge. It´s looking like a 0815 average shirt with the Scotland label stitched on and watermark logo pressed into.
And i ´d rather have it been published as shortsleeve. Gives a better impression of the overall appearance.
I bet the bespoke individual shirt they get soon, will be a massive cracker so i will wait and not buy this one. Too effortless on my opinion.
I would have expected more from Adidas. The jersey looks cheap and meaningless.
Sorry Scots but this kit is foul. When will Adidas put out a shirt without the d*mn 3 stripes on the sleeves and shoulders?? Nike atleast doesn't beat us over the head with the swoosh. It's more subtle. The 3 stripes are obnoxious and tiresome when you seem them on every adidas kit...sigh.
My kingdom for a CLEAN shirt from Adidas. This one is a cluttered mess. I do like the font for the numbers though. That looks awesome.
Alba gu bràth.
poor stuff though, so dull!
kit should be all blue and gold too!
Nice shirt, but I don't like where the numbers are placed....
NUMBER IN THE "ADIDAS" PLACE
And a wee footnote - Anyone But E**land please.
OR A DECENT KIT.. I HAVE UMBRO.. SHIIT!
I like this btw.
