[symyjym]

Just seen the Scottish uniform for the Common Wealth Games so I thought I would do a simple poll for NSC's thoughts.

[Hillian1]

No, I'm not Scottish.

But if I was, NO.

 

[BensGrandad]

Thought it was the NewZealand one when I first looked.

 

[Czechmate]

Just seen on tv the designer being interviewed , she was wearing a colourful top hat and she calls the uniform artistic Dear me I am sure there are enough decent , on the level clothes designers available ?

 

[crodonilson]

As Andy Townsend would say....

'Not for me Clive'.

Is this particular Commonwealth Games going to be the most underwhelming sporting event ever? I'd almost forgotten it was coming.

Poor old Scotland. They attempt to raise their profile by getting themselves an international sporting event, but within two years of London hosting the Olympic Games, and in a month when we've also had Wimbledon, the football World Cup and the Tour de France in Britain, to massive success.

I'm not sure watching a bunch of 400 metre hurdlers from Tobago, Australia and Fiji is quite going to have the global impact that the Scottish first minister, Mr Toad, hopes it will.

 

[Pavilionaire]

They look like they've turned up to clean the offices.

Glasgow itself is underwhelming, apart from The Pot Still public house, grey and gloomy. (I love Edinburgh though).

*Tour de France was in England I believe.

**Oh, and Yorkshire


**remembers Yorkshire folk believe themselves to be in a different world.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Yorkshire first, England second, Phil, you should know that

 

[Jambo Seagull]

I'm Scottish and it's a big NO from me. As someone said in The Times this morning, you wouldn't do that to a sofa.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

I thought that outfit was some sort of photoshopped internet joke when I first saw it.

Is that actually the official clothing line to be worn by the Scottish team?

Spot on, as ever.

Yep, but obviously they are not competing in it.

 

[strings]

I'm actually looking forward to the Commonwealth Games. Just accept that it is a poor person's Olympics, and enjoy.

I will probably watch as much of the cycling as I can, the athletics and the rugby sevens.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Yep, but obviously they are not competing in it.

Well I get that I just didn't realise it was for real, I assumed the colours had been mucked around with or it was some old photo from the 1980s.

 

[Pinkie Brown]

That is hideous!!

From the BBC website: "Textile designer Jilli Blackwood said she had been asked to create a ''high impact'' design for Team Scotland"

Its made an impact all right. Looks like something from a Littlewoods catalogue from 1975.

I'm feeling totally 'meh' about the whole thing. I do wish them well and hope it all passes without a hitch. However:

The one event they were entrusted with during the 2012 Olympics, a ladies football game between North Korea and Columbia, almost caused a diplomatic incident when the SOUTH Korean flag was raised at the start of the game. Dear leader was very cross indeed.

There's probably a battery of nuke nasties pointing towards Hampden Park as I type.

Think something similar happened in Brazil this World Cup, didn't it?
