Scotland Home Shirt with British Forces Patch

Written by Smithy on April 26th, 2009

Subside Sports have launched a special version of the Scotland Home Football strip with £5 from every strip going towards the Scottish Poppy appeal.

The top appears normal, but has a Scottish Poppy (different from an English poppy) on the right hand side, with an additional saltire under the SFA logo with the words “Serving their country: The British Forces & Scotland National Team”

It seems odd they’ve released this top considering we’re 7 months away from the main Poppy Appeal.  Is this a blatant way to tap in to the “British Forces” feel good factor?

They also don’t appear to have done their market research properly.  Most Scotland fans wouldn’t be seen dead with anything to do with “British” on their Scotland Top.

It’s unclear if this is endorsed by the Scottish Football Association.

Jimmy from Coatbridge commented “I wholeheartedly support the campaign and was going to buy a top.  Then I noticed the detail on the patch.  It’s just not right having the word British on a Scotland top”.

John, current serving with her majesties forces in Iraq said “they should have just stuck the poppy logo on the shirt – it’s a well recognised symbol”
