Historical Football Kits

Scottish Championship 2013 - 2014

The threat of the First Division clubs breaking away to form a second tier of the Scottish Premier League proved sufficient to persuade 23 of the 29 eligible SFL members to vote in favour of the SPL's merger plan (22 votes were required for the proposal to be carried). There will now be play-offs between the second and first tier and a larger share of TV revenues will be passed to the second tier clubs.

Although presented as a merger, the vote effectively means the end of the Scottish Football League after 123 years.

Alloa Athletic

Designer: Pendle

Sponsor: Marshall Construction

Alloa appear in the second tier thanks to the play offs and have returned to hooped shirts this season. The style is reminiscent of that worn in the post war period and not seen for a very long time so we are pleased about that. Typically Pendle have added grace notes in the form of additional sleeve trim and so forth. The away strip is retained from last season and updated with the new shirt sponsor.

Cowdenbeath

Designer: Uhlsport

Sponsor: Subsea Pressure Controls

Following on from the disappearance of Umbro, Cowdenbeath have become the first Scottish club to sign up with the German sportswear company, Uhlsport. The familiar colour scheme of blue shirts, white shorts and red socks is retained for the home strip decorated with contrasting side panels.

Dundee

Designer: Puma

Sponsor: Kilmac Energy

Relegated from the SPL last season, Dundee are in need of investment but an offer from the US based Keyes Capital group has caused a split in the boardroom.

The new strips feature Puma's latest collar design and according to some supporters, is "ok from the nipples down." The choice of light blue for the away strip would not be accepted in England but Scottish officials seem to take a more sensible approach.

Falkirk

Designer: Puma

Sponsor: Central Demolitions Ltd

The latest Puma template looks rather smart in Falkirk's traditional navy and white with red detailing. Elements of the home and away strips are interchangeable. The yellow and navy third strip is retained from last season.

Greenock Morton

Designer: Puma

Sponsor: Millions Chews

Morton's home strip is unchanged aside from the fact that the shorts no longer have stripes down the side. This is now complemented by an all-black alternative. The white third strip will be useful at Dundee and Falkirk.

Hamilton Academical

Designer: Nike

Sponsor: M&H Logistics (H), Life Skills Centres (A)

Hamilton have retained both home and away kits from last season.

Livingston

Designer: Adidas

Sponsor: Energy Assets Group

Livi are sporting two new Adidas templates this season: Toque 13 for the home kit and Inspired Estro 13 for the away set in the colours of Barcelona. They also have a new shirt sponsor who have additionally bought the naming rights to what is now known as the Energy Assets Arena.

Queen of the South

Designer: Joma

Sponsor: Southwest Mechanical Services

The Doonhamers bounced back after relegation in 2012, winning the Second Division championship at the first time of asking. The new home strip is again all-blue with minimal white trim while the yellow alternative has a black band across the chest with a pattern made up of Joma's "J" logo printed into the fabric, their Liga II design.

Raith Rovers

Designer: Puma

Sponsor: O'Connell's Bar (H), Live Sport (A)

Here at HFK we do like a well-designed retro kit so we are quite pleased with Raith's new home strip, which re-creates their iconic outfit from 50 years ago and worn until 1972. The red change strip is unchanged.
