After seven years in partnership with Diadora, the SFA turned to Adidas and launched their new home strip in March 2010 ahead of its first outing against the Czech Republic. Overall, the strip returned to the traditional theme of navy shirts, white shorts and red socks that was popular in the Seventies, with Adidas' iconic three-stripe trim. The Scottish lion rampant crest appeared as a jaquard print on the chest, a distinguishing feature in what was otherwise a straightforward design. "Alba" appears on the socks. It made its final appearance (with navy socks) in the 1-3 defeat in Spain that Scotland eliminated from the Euro 2012 qualifiers.
The yellow and navy change strip was launched in late July 2010.
2011-2012
2011-2012 Change
Fans disappointed by Scotland's failure to qualify for Euro 2012 was tempered somewhat by the launch of an attractive new home strip. Announced on the eve of the decisive match against Spain, it was originally going to be worn in that game but, perhaps sensibly in view of the difficulty of getting a result against the European and World champions on their home turf, it was held back. Interesting features included a revival of the old shield and garter crest and a complicated jaquard print based on the flag of St Andrew.
A new black and cream change strip is rumoured.
