The New Scotland Away Top has been revealed accidentally after it went on sale in an Sports Shop.
Tartan Army Message Board member Bart spotted in it an Edinburgh sport's shop earlier today. It was only available in a child size at the time and was mixed in with the older (diadora) yellow goalie tops. The current goalie top is sky blue.
The shirt is basically a yellow version of the current home top. Yellow front and back, Adidas 3 strips down each arm, Adidas logo on right, SFA logo on right.
The away top wasn't supposed to be available until the 18th August. It's due to be worn against Sweden on the 11th August.

The Scottish Football Association has confirmed the Lithuania V Scotland game will be played in Kaunas. The game will be played in the S. Dariaus ir S. Gireno Stadium on Friday 3rd September 2010. Kick off time has still to be confirmed, but will be in the evening.
Scotland have played twice in that ground. In 2003 they lost 1-0 and in 2007 won 2-1. the game in 2003 was recently voted the second coldest Scotland game - the coldest game was voted as the previous days Under 21 game in Vilnius.
The stadium is rather small, with a capacity of 9,180. Normally visiting fans would only be eligible for 918 seats but the SFA have managed to negotiate 2,800 tickets. It's likely that anybody on more than 1 point will be eligible for a ticket.
The SFA have also pointed out that unauthorised agencies have been offering tickets to the match as part of travel packages. The SFA and Lithuanian football federation cannot guarantee this allocation.

The SFA has announced that all members of the SSC can now apply for tickets to the Sweden V Scotland match on Wednesday 11th August. Previously only those on 3 or more points were eligible, but only 1,500 tickets were requested. 1,500 tickets are therefore available to those on 0 to 4 points.
Tickets will cost £20. Applications close at 5pm on Tuesday 6th July.
It's been rumoured the SSC may make all members pick up their tickets in Sweden to prevent point "harvesting".
