SCOTTISH RUGBY have revealed the new national team kit for the 2016/17 sesason.
The traditional navy home kit has been influenced by the design from the 2015 Rugby World Cup in England, when the Scots reached the quarter-finals.
It features a new white stripe across the shoulders as well as a tartan pattern embossed on the back.
The alternate kit has paid tribute to those of the late 1990s with its white and navy stripe design.
Both are available online on the Scottish Rugby website and can be purchased at the Murrayfield store from Friday onwards.
They will first be worn in a competitive match when Scotland face Australia in the first Autumn Test in November, before further matches against Argentina and Georgia.
Scotland and Edinburgh lock Grant Gilchrist said: “It looks like a classic Scotland shirt and yet has lots of subtle little features which make it feel pretty unique.
"I’m sure the fans will like them as both the home and alternate versions look really good.”
Lisa Martin, captain of Scotland Women, said: “I think the design is awesome and reminds me of one of the first Scotland shirts my parents bought me when I was growing up."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
