Perhaps the English should offer the Scots Athletes refugee status.

Maybe the plan is that all the other commonwealth athletes will piss themselves with laughter, be unable to complete and the scots will win.

The poor sods look like actors from an amateur dramatics production of Brigadoon.

Somewhere there's a designer with a lot of explaining to do.

How did that win?????
Did they only have nutso fashionistas on the judging panel and no people with normal dress sense?
Ok so normal dress sense in Scotland is often overweight woman in black leggings and a short too tight top and a red bloke with his shirt off because the sun has come out.

Nope I think it suits - it's the Commonwealth - a great global alliance with many member countries also wearing colour combinations found elsewhere. There are so many other opportunities to present the 'traditional' Scottish (allowed by the English or penalty of death if I recall). Remember - men's kilts will be THE men's fashion item one day - and the main market will be in the countries that men already wear 'non-trousers' and of course they like bright colours.

Not sure what the black/gold lady in the pic further down in the linked article is though?

Why did they pick nasty polyester dresses (of the kind that look like they're the 'cheerful' version of care home over-dresses or something) that don't even go with the ridiculously stereotypical tartan shit?

I'm purposefully ignoring the socks.

Had to laugh at the comment from Chris Hoy's wife about the uniforms not mattering as the Scots will be so proud when their team walks out- yeah but the rest of the Commonwealth will be pissing themselves laughing- I fear it might be another step towards independence Grin

Those are athletes? I thought it was a folk band and they had forgotten their instruments.
