weekevie04 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Just spotted the Scottish GAA top and its a fucking belter. The colours are the magnificent navy blue/purple combo that I wish more Scottish national teams would use.. I thought the Shinty team had a belter last time I seen it (was similar to the GAA colours), but the most recent one looked IMO, a rather uninspiring royal blue.

If anything, we should have a kit that's more like the Italian one if we're to base it on the national flag, Ironic since the Italian kit isn't based on theirs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s Christmas! 😂 ill be back in that shape for the start of the season (the fitted shirt, not the ball). (that’s actually not true. Most folk lose weight for the summer, I take a break from football to play bowls, which involves a lot of pies, rolls and sausage and pints 😂) Most of the clubs play in these kind of shirts and admittedly you do see some sites! My favourite look is the guys who look slim from the back, but have a massive beer gut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Navy is so dull. The azure (and cobalt) are a wee bit more electric looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those other strips are hellish right enough, but its as much to do with the design as the colours. Patterns should be simple and discreet.

ErsatzThistle Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Controversial but I'm going to say it One day in the future we should do a tribute to Queen's Park (who served as the cradle for our national team) by having a jersey with the thin black and white hoops.

aaid Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 23 hours ago, Ally Bongo said: It isnt - unless you ignore the different shades of blue Well I'd say that the Navy Blue used for the Scotland home kit is closer in shade to the one in the Union Flag (Pantone 280) as opposed to the Saltire (Pantone 300). Even more so when you look back a historic flags - which would have been in usage in the 19th century when the colours were decided upon - and the shade of blue was even closer to the Scotland kit. It's secret that the SFA has always been an arch-unionist organisation at its core and the Scotland strip is just a manifestation of that.

The red socks seem to become established in the 50's though, giving the union look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The red socks did add a more aggressive look I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
