To think that the scots should be kicked out of the union

[ReallyTired]

.... for this fashion crime!!!

Yes it is vile isn't it.

Im so ashamed somebody had a thread last night its a bloody disgrace

That is horrific- it doesn't even look like it's meant to go together!

I actually burst out laughing when I saw the pictures.

Total shocker.

We hooted with laughter then felt awful for the poor athletes

hellish, poor buggers wearing that

Jings crivens!

Where's the eye bleach?

Why designers? Why did you do this?? Why??!

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.

Had to go back and look again and noticed the mens socks- OMFG - they are the colour of diarrhoea- what possessed them?

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

Somebody last night said its brigadoon meets peoples friend

Where's the other thread? I wouldn't have started this thread if I had known about the other thread.

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?

But shitty brown socks 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

Its in chat I think the more warn about this crime the better tbh

How about these for the swimmers?

Obviously they've kept same designer who did the awful rhubarb and custard scotland away strip.....

Maybe bad fashion is just Scotland's thing?

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

They are like scottish dancers that was on the telly in the 70s
