"The new design remains predominantly navy but features white under-arm and side panels, whilst the two white hoops on the sleeves have been removed. It replaces the previous Scotland jersey that was introduced in November 2002 and is produced by Scottish Rugby kit supplier Canterbury of New Zealand. It will be officially available to the public from tomorrow (Thursday 23 June) and Scotland players will model the new kit at the Royal Highland Show fashion show on Friday (24 June)."
A child's jersey will cost £39.99. Was a new strip necessary? Admittedly, the previous version was a bit of a dog's breakfast, but the new strip would not appear to amount to a significant improvement. Or is this just another attempt to raid the pockets of fans and parents? Sad to see the footballisation of rugby.
