Today the Scottish Football Association launched the new Adidas football strips.
We're waiting for more images to surface especially of the Lion Rampant that's supposed to be on the front.
From these images the shirt looks very skin tight that could prove interesting among the XL and XXL size Tartan Army!
From an enlargement of the image we can see a ghosted Scottish FA badge on the front of the shirt.
