New Scotland Rugby Away Strip

It seems a new Scotland away kit has quietly sneaked out

New Scotland Alternative Strip (link fixed now thanks Giorgia)

It’s pretty similar to the old one apart from a) they got rid of the stupid patchy bits that made it look grey and the piping and b) they took the Murray logo off that horrible roundel. Although the Murray logo is still pretty rubbish (and too big, does their designer not know about whitespace?) it is much better than it was.

A new home kit is due to be announced in time for the autumn. Could it be back to basics all round – if so can we have white shorts back too please?

Don’t forget to watch the new highlights show tonight at 5.30pm on STV!

    I like that they got rid of the plastic roundel (that thing makes my belly sweat!), still it looks a bit, uhm, anonymous, n’est pas? I wish they could all revert to polo necks, like’em much better.

  2. (I meant polo shirt-like collars, of course — had to check, didn’t know that in English “polo neck” referred to something completely different from what it refers to in Italian… weird.)

  3. In Italy, if you ask for a “polo neck” they’ll give you a polo shirt; if you want a “polo neck/turtle neck” as you know it you’ll have to ask for a “dolcevita“.
    Anyway, I meant “polo shirt”, like good old rugby jerseys, surely *not* turtle neck, they’d look ridiculous playing rugby in that! :)

This year's summer has a different feel with Scotland taking part in the inaugural Nations Championship, and two or three test tours a thing of the past. Of course, in Scotland we're used to that. Here's the squad.
Scotland's poor Six Nations continued with another thumping loss, but there were some positives to be had in the try bonus, writes Eleanor.
The city of Parma was in full on celebration mood for Liberation Day. Unfortunately, only Italy were having a party on the pitch as they tore apart a disorganised and depleted Scotland team, delighting a record home crowd for the Italian women’s game. Eleanor has the talking points.
A historic occasion at Murrayfield for Scotland Women went more than a little awry, as the Red Roses found top gear and swept them away. Here is Eleanor with the talking points.
