Ray Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 During the last couple of games, noticed a few people wearing what looked to be a retro copy of this tracksuit top from 1978, and thought it looked quite smart. Does anyone know where it is available to buy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy C Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 Try magicspongeretro and retrofcshirts on Instagram bud. Although they had the Umbro diamond 'filled in', which to be honest is how I remember that jacket at the time. Someone will no doubt correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't remember the one in that photo actually being produced or used by the team.

I had that tracksuit when I was a kid. I haven't seen a picture of it for years and confirms something I was sure of. The cuffs and the waistband were navy blue. I've seen a retro version which has white cuffs and waistband. If you look at the two pictures then the sky view version similarly has a sky blue collar, whereas the one above has a navy blue collar and cuffs. I's be suspicious if someone was claiming that was an original without provenance. Edited July 12, 2022 by aaid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaid Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 This would seem to be the original - worn by Souness in 1978. https://www.oldfootballshirts.com/es/teams/s/scotland/old-scotland-football-shirt-s73226.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one in the opening post was, I think (again, happy to stand corrected), a prototype which never went in to production in the end, and we got the one in your picture above instead. I am sure I once saw a similar 'prototype' shirt with the different diamonds and collar too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy C Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 (edited) Re: my above post, this is the shirt. Basically the SFA were given kit choices by Umbro at the time, and opted for the ones we know and love, with the 'filled in diamonds', over the other style. I think!
