For decades, football shirts have been much more than sports equipment, which football teams use to distinguish themselves from their opponents. They tell stories about those who wear it on the pitch, but also those who pull it on to wear them when they go shopping or hang out with friends.In such an atmosphere, football teams and their kit suppliers aim to design shirts that tick all the boxes: to convey the team’s identity, history and attitude, to appeal to the team’s fans – and to look good enough so that the neutrals would like to wear them. We’ve found a shirt that tells 150 years of history and looks so classy that you’d want to wear it for dinner in a nice restaurant. All hail adidas and Scotland!🟦 We knew the shirt was a belter◻️🔺but finished off with those socks 🥵Scotland x adidas = nailed it pic.twitter.com/abZCLkir03— They Think Kits All Over (@TheyThinkKits) March 25, 2023 The tradition of football in Scotland is very long. Their first international match was played 150 years ago. In fact, their latest home shirt is meant to celebrate a century and a half of their first international match against England in 1873. Adidas came up with an understated design that includes details from days gone by. Taking inspiration from the first uniform worn by Scotland in their first-ever international match in 1873 against England, the new shirt looks to commemorate this historic landmark. Dominated by the traditional dark blue, it features a round white collar and woven crest, with the Lion Rampant highlighted in gold against a tonal crest, to match the look of the first crest worn on early Scotland shirts.##NAJAVA_MECA_7126058##Striped sleeve cuffs give the nod to the importance of Queen’s Park FC, who formed the basis of Scotland’s earliest national team all those years ago. As part of the celebrations, the Scots wore the shirt first time in their Euro 2024 qualifying match against Cyprus last weekend. They will wear for the last time during a special Anniversary Heritage friendly against England at Hampden Park on 12 September.These shirts are sold in various packages, of which the cheapest one costs KSh14,480.

Undoubtedly, many would love to get their hands on these special editions, and the prices will surely go through the roof in the market.##GALERIJA##The Scots haven’t qualified for a World Cup since 1998 and have only appeared in one European Championship in this century.
