This is the new Scotland home 08/10 home kit made by Diadora. The kit has been revealed to the national press at Stirling Castle.
The new Home kit is a true combination of the latest in performance garment technology, Scottish football tradition and Italian styling and will be worn by the team for the first time against Northern Ireland on the 20th August 2008 at Hampden Park.
Fabio Malipiero, European Sales Director Diadora UK commented,
“The partnership between the Scottish F.A. and Diadora has grown with each new kit produced for the national team utilising all of our design, technologies and expertise in the technical apparel business which has seen, in our opinion some of the greatest kits produced in the modern game. Following the near qualification in the recent European Championships and previous success of the Home, Away and 3rd kits we’ve had a challenge to produce a product suitable for the Players, staff and fans alike to a level to which they have come accustomed too and most importantly deserve, but we have!
We’ve researched the history, heritage and requirements of the team to design a new Home kit which we hope will inspire the team to great performances in the forthcoming world cup qualifying campaign and see them into the Finals in South Africa 2010.”
Scotland National Team Coach, George Burley said:
"Representing your country is one of the proudest achievements any Scottish footballer can ever hope to achieve. You can scale the heights of club football, but the feeling you get when you pull on that famous dark blue jersey is almost impossible to beat. Diadora have really done their homework with this new kit. It has all the hallmarks of the great Scotland strips of old and I know that it will help inspire the current generation of stars as we set out on the road to South Africa. The fans are going to love it."
last few seemed to be headin down a modern up to date strip with uni-colour strips, not back to the olden day when nobody ever showed up at Hampden or gave a toss about the team.
I love the fact that they've returned to red socks.....the only problem being the design of them is fucking shit! the blue turnover is fine but whats with the lines?
paul hartley and naysmith, both played for the gretest club ever, unfortunately for celtic,with hartley? we got the best out of him!
still a class player.
Thanks Joxcunts. Must really hurt to pay us all those subsidies. Setting us up nicely for the inevitable break up. Can't fucking wait to be away from you chinless Nigels.
The shirt is a cracker, nicest since the '82 World Cup, if only the socks were plain red though.....
a bit more traditional than lately - I got used to the all navy and gold kit - I still think that manufacturers experiment too much with the Scotland kit and go a wee bit daft....
...i'd like to see an all navy with white trim as first kit, all white with red trim as a second kit and an all white with navy trim as a third choice kit....
it is good to get back to the traditional navy top, white shorts and red socks - having said that, they have made a bit of a back-side with the collar and why oh why the blue turnover on the socks, I mean how are they gonna look when hutton pulls them up over his wee cold knees.
Wonder what they'll come up with for the 'keeper - maybe an all yellow job with a giant scarlett lion rampant on the front of the jersey!
Bottom line is that it's okay!
I'd prefer Nike to do a fairly traditional navy/white and red job
A shocker IMO, thought the last 2 kits were smart but this is up there with the pin stiped effort. And yes Diadora have copied the collar of the Umbro shirts.
I like the socks. But their too retro style colour. The shorts are cool. But the shirt is CCCCCCCRRRRRRRUUUUUUUDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Im Scottish. We deserve better than bad italian shirts. we were at this stage in 1974! Looks like the same kit. I HATE THE SHIRT
thats not too bad, you are all right about the similarities between the umbro collars and this, but you have to realise they arent too many innovations going about at this current time
i loved the old kit with the gold trim, however, i love this one even more.
clean, simple, good looking, and most importantly, the colours
red socks, fantastic
That is pants! However that is what we come to expect with the Scots. They couldnt design a stripy top for a simple nerd. just a joke. I much prefer the England one. England for South Africa, not too sure about you Scots though. Ireland will, that might be because I like to think England and Ireland are best friends.
Fucking ugly old school retro shit! will not be buying this thats for sure. blue gold kit from last year was superb everything about it. but going back to the blue, white scheme with the red socks is a joke. stupid colour scheme looks like a rangers kit! what celtic fan would buy this?
if that top had a real collar it would be 'no bad'. But its too tight, the collars pish, the wee white flashes make it look that bit more gay and, as pointed out before, why are naysmith and hartley modelling it? if i want to see some ugly unshaven bleary-eyed pasty wank in an ill-fitting top i'll just looked in the mirror!
I got a retro one for £10 for going on holiday. Couldnt face the riddy of this top
