Just seen Scottish parade outfit. The tartan I approve of. But what's with the patterned rather feminine turquoise. Great on the girls, but the guys shirts. Really! 

What are the other home teams outfits like?

Totally underwhelmed with the whole thing.

My son is complaining already about the road changes in Glasgow  ::)

Hope something about it sparks my interest.

Not much about it yet South of the Border - when does it kick off?

Here's our kit.

I'm pretty underwhelmed by it too. The Olympics yes, watched it as much as I could. Maybe it's all this referendum stuff, but feel we're shoving Scotland down everyone's throats, ours maybe a bit more.

Kicks off 23rd. I've got family here then, so will be much more interested in them than the games I'm afraid, but don't tell Mr Salmond!  ;D

Like the tartan, but it's the patterned turquoise shirts on the men I'm having a problem with.

Horrendous outfits, if I was an athlete I would refuse to wear it.

Think that Mr Patriotic Salmond should wear one for the duration of the games. What a sight that would be!!!
