Scotland's World Cup jerseys are here and they involve tartan

What do you make of these Macron numbers?

SCOTLAND HAVE UNVEILED their World Cup kits this morning to a generally positive reaction.

Vern Cotter’s men will wear the Macron gear for their Pool B clashes with South Africa, Samoa, Japan and USA, hoping that that they can earn a quarter-final spot in this year’s version of the global tournament.

Their first-choice kit is in traditional navy, with tartan strips down the sides, around the biceps and under the collar. The change strip is predominantly white, with a little less of the tartan pattern.

Fullback Stuart Hogg, lock Ali Dickinson, hooker Ross Ford and wing Tommy Seymour were on hand to model the new gear in a brooding fashion, but what do you think of it?

Classic and understated or does the tartan element ruin what could have been a cool jersey?

Meanwhile, head coach Cotter yesterday added Edinburgh pair Dougie Fife and Ben Toolis to his extended World Cup training squad to replace the injured Tim Swinson and Duncan Taylor, both of whom are set for surgery.
