Historical Football Kits

Irn-Bru Scottish First Division 2007 - 2008

Seven manufacturers supply the ten clubs playing in the Scottish First Division. Livingston have revived the all-black kit with gold trimmings that they wore when they left Edinburgh while Morton have revived their glorious tartan shirts as a third kit. St Johnstone have dropped their blue shirts in favour of white shirts with blue sleeves.

Clyde

Designer: Lotto

Sponsor: Optical Express (home), Gala Bingo (away), DPC (third)

While Clyde's home kit is a standard Lotto template in the club's traditional colours, their away and third kits involve interesting variations.

Dundee

Designer: Bukta

Sponsor: Signatures4U.com

Dundee are making their bid to return to the Premiership in their usual navy shirts, relieved by white trimming on the shoulders and sleeves and gold piping on the chest. Their away kit recalls the early seventies when they switched from navy to white shirts and features the monogram badge worn at the time.

Dunfermline Athletic

Designer: Adidas

Sponsor: The Purvis Group

Dunfermline have opted for plain white shirts with black trimmings this season, a break from their traditional stripes.

Greenock Morton

Designer: Bukta (Home & Away), Vandanel (Third)

Sponsor: Buchanan's Confectionary (Home), Millions Chews (Away & Third)

After spending last season in vertical stripes, Morton have returned to a more traditional look for 2007. Their third kit is a revival of their astonishing tartan kit worn between 1993 and 1995, which is likely to be a popular item with supporters and collectors alike.

Hamilton Academical

Designer: Nike

Sponsor: Morris Furniture Group (Home), Central Scaffold (Away)

Hamilton's home kit, made by Nike, is a variation on a traditional theme. For their away kit, the Accies have gone for a replica of the Brazil strip.

Livingston

Designer: Nike

Sponsor: Smarter Loans

When Meadowbank Thistle transformed themselves into Livingston in 1995 they adopted an all-black kit with gold trim and they have returned to this dramatic look for the new season.

Partick Thistle

Designer: Diadora

Sponsor: Resolution Asset Management

Partick's home kit is unchanged from last season although a new sponsor appears on the shirt. The away kit is a striking combination in pale blue with gold trim.

Queen of the South

Designer: Surridge

Sponsor: Aero Leather Co

Surridge have provided kits for a number of Scottish clubs this season, featuring a broad band round one thigh. Queen of the South have opted for white panels and gold trim on their shirts for this season. The Doonhamers came up with the idea of an annual lottery for shirt sponsorship ten years ago and several clubs lower down the Scottish League now follow suit. To mark the achievement of reaching the Scottish Cup semi-final for the first time in 58 years, the club issued a special commemorative kit in which they beat Aberdeen 4-3 in an epic match to reach the final for the first time in their history. For the final itself, which they lost narrowly to Rangers, the Doonhamers wore yet another commemorative kit.

Stirling Albion

Designer: Vandanel

Sponsor: Prudential Insurance

Stirling Albion are appearing in the First Division this season wearing Vandanel's latest in asymmetric designs. The light blue and navy away kit was worn in the play-off final last season, which the Bino's won to gain promotion to the second tier.

St Johnstone

Designer: Surridge

Sponsor: George Wimpey

The Saints have gone for a fairly radical change this season, adopting predominantly white tops.
