ONE aspect of football which divides fans like no other is the designs of football shirts.
And the Scotland nation team have unveiled a new away shirt which has already generated plenty of discussion.
The top combines bright pink and yellow colours which are sure to distract opposition players if nothing else.
The shirt is described as a ‘modern update on a classic design’, in reference to the outlandish shirt worn in 2014/15.
But the national team haven’t been clear whether the new effort is just for the women‘s side, or for the men as well.
Either way, the announcement has certainly divided supporters, with many taking to X, formerly Twitter, to detail their disappointment.
One fan said: “Can’t not see it”, attaching a picture of a Battenberg cake which shares the shirt’s colour scheme.
Another fan also had sweet treats in mind, posting: “Alright if you want to look like a packet of Fruit Salad.”
A third mentioned confectionery too, simply saying: “Sponsored by Hubba Bubba.”
Another supporter commented: “An acquired taste methinks.”
However, some of the fans were more receptive to the daring new look.
An account said: “You’ve got to admit that’s very smart, Adidas kits are far better than the dross Nike keep offering up as the England shirt.”
Another replied: “Stunning, love the Rosebery colours.”
And a third simply said: “Okay, that’s incredible.”

A GLOBAL superbrand has shut one of its enormous UK outlets in a massive blow to high street shoppers.
Rumours had circulated in January that the store could close due to a failure of the company to secure a new lease agreement with its landlords.
Now, we can confirm the Nike store at Craigleith Retail Park in Edinburgh, Scotland, has closed for good.
The storefront at the busy retail park in Scotland’s second largest city was seen painted over in black.
It had been previously understood that the Nike store would shut its doors on January 26.
In a document to staff, shared with Edinburgh Live, Nike had confirmed there could be “proposed redundancies”.
The sportswear retailer indicated that the job losses would come as a result of the failure to secure a new lease agreement at the site.
Its letter to staff read: “Based on results and on Nike being unable to agree a new lease agreement with the landlords, Nike is proposing the closure of Edinburgh Craigleith with an anticipated last trading date of 26th January 2025 resulting in a proposed redundancy situation.”
Shoppers have been mourning the “sad” loss of the store, with one saying: “That’s a shame.
“Have bought a lot of things in it for birthdays/xmas at good prices.
“I’ll miss it.”
Another added: “That’s sad.
“It’s what happens when everyone shops online.
“Shops are closing almost every week now”.
Some were frustrated by the loss of the “very popular” store, calling its closure “pretty annoying”, while others felt “gutted” by the situation.
Another highlighted the recent losses of other stores in the same retail park.
They said: “Ooo no Craigleith has lost Clarks few years ago now Nike.
“Less and less decent shops there.”
A Nike spokesperson had previously said: “We constantly evaluate our store locations to give us the best opportunity to personally connect with consumers through premium products, experiences, and services.
“As part of this retail strategy, the Nike Craigleith Store will close per January 26.”
This comes as one of Britain’s oldest department stores launched a closing down sale just months before its last remaining shop shuts for good.
Beales, which was founded in Bournemouth in 1881, will close its branch in Poole’s Dolphin Centre on May 31.
Starting today, the sale will clear all the remaining stock in the store before it closes its doors for good.
Items including furniture, fashion, gifts and cosmetics are being sold for up to 70 per cent off.
Beales chief executive Tony Brown blamed the “devastating impact” of the rise in national insurance contributions and the higher minimum wage for the shop shutting.
When the closure was announced, he said the business had become “unviable” as it prepared to take on further cost increases which were announced in the October Budget.
THE Premier League has paid homage to its Barclays roots by releasing a new “Thierry Henry-style” ball.
Inspired by Nike Total 90 footballs of the past, it will make its debut appearance when Aston Villa host Liverpool on Wednesday.
The final Nike Prem ball is an updated remake of the T90 Aerow I – used during the 04/05 and 05/06 seasons.
Chelsea fans will be buzzing to see it back, after this ball saw the Blues win their first ever Prem title, and follow up again the following year.
The likes of Henry, Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney and Frank Lampard all scored some beauties with it’s yellow version.
The throwback colourway sees a classic all-white base, paired with some small added details to the classic T90 blue rings.
One fan said: “When I see this ball, I see Thierry Henry of Arsenal.”
It will replace the current Hi-Vis winter ball for the rest of the campaign and bring an end to Nike’s 25-year ball reign in style.
Puma are set to become the official ball supplier of the top flight from the 2025-26 season.
But fans have joked that the Prem should “run it past Mikel Arteta first” after the Arsenal manager’s complaints last month.

Arteta suggested that the “tricky” Puma ball used by the EFL in the Carabao Cup had been a factor in his side’s shooting woes during a 2-0 semi-final first leg defeat by Newcastle.
The Spaniard said the Puma balls “fly a lot”, admitting “there’s details that we can do better”.
Pressed further, Arsenal‘s boss added: “It’s just different. It’s very different to a Premier League ball.
“You have to adapt to that because it flies different.
“When you touch it, the grip is very different as well, so you adapt to that.”
And fans have used the news of a new Nike ball to poke fun at Arteta.
One joked on X: “Someone give it to Arteta and Arsenal to make sure it flies correctly.”
A second said: “Please tell me Arteta has checked it first.”
While another added: “Anyone run this past Arteta?”
The Prem has used Nike balls since 2000 but a contract dispute saw the decision to switch to Puma from next season in what was described as a “lucrative” deal.
SunSport understands that an exact version of the Carabao Cup ball has already been developed and agreed as the new Prem model – despite the complaints by some managers about it this season.

PETE Davidson abruptly left a Saturday Night Live-related party over the weekend after his ex-girlfriend Kim Kardashian arrived, The U.S. Sun can exclusively report.
Pete, 31, attended Chris Rock‘s 60th birthday party at the Crane Club in NYC on Saturday evening, as many Hollywood stars were in town for SNL’s 50th anniversary show on Sunday.
A source said the comedian showed up to the party with friends.
As soon as Kim, 44, arrived, one of Pete’s pals said, “I gotta get Pete out of here. Pete’s got to go,” the source claimed, adding that the Riff Raff actor “really can’t be around” the reality star.
In addition to Kim and Pete, other partygoers included Tom Hanks, Madonna, Jerry Seinfeld, Adam Sandler, Chevy Chase, Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, Jon Hamm and Kim’s friend Amy Schumer.
“There were a lot of big names there, but it was very low-key,” the source said.
Both Pete and Kim had roles in the SNL anniversary show.
Kim, who met Pete on the set of SNL when she hosted in 2021, played the sister of Kristen Wiig’s zany Doonese in a sketch also starring Scarlett Johansson, Will Ferrell, Fred Armisen and Ana Gasteyer.
At one point, Kristen pretended to play the drums on Kim’s famous derriere.
Pete appeared in two sketches, reviving his character Chad and also starring with longtime friend John Mulaney in a musical number.
It is unclear if Kim and Pete spoke while appearing on the live show Sunday night, but a fan video reveals she walked right by him without a greeting on the red carpet.
A source told People that the exes were cordial and spoke at an after-party on Sunday evening.
Kim and Pete began dating after they shared a kiss during an Aladdin sketch when she hosted in October 2021.
“It was a stage kiss, but it was still a little zing,” Kim said on the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast
The couple was hot and heavy, and even attended the Met Gala together in 2022, when Kim wore Marilyn Monroe’s dress.
“I wasn’t even thinking, like, Oh my god, I’m going to be in a relationship with him,” Kim said on The Kardashians during their romance.
“I was just thinking, like, ‘Heard about this BDE, need to get out there.’ I was just basically DTF.”
They split in August 2022, after her ex Kanye West attacked Pete repeatedly on social media.
“There was a lot of guilt and he went through a lot because of my relationship [with Kanye],” Kim later told sister Kourtney’s ex Scott Disick on the family’s Hulu show.
At the time, a source told The U.S. Sun that Kim ended the relationship after it got too serious for her.
Pete moved on with actress Chase Sui Wonders soon after the split, then Outer Banks star Madelyn Cline. He is currently single.
Kim is also single after a reported fling with Odell Beckham Jr.
