It's the turquoise shirts .... the tartan is OK

Mind you, I don't think the Australian uniform is anything to boast about

Yikes.

There is another thread 'Should have gone to Specsavers' grin

I think it will fit in with the rest of the parade quite well. I like the women's dresses, and their stoles.

Looks like there is turquoise in the tartan. It's definitely growing on me.

Maybe they could buy a job lot of Dylon, though?

Far too late to change the design now. That petition is a waste of time.

It's hideous. One look at the 'designers' attire should have been a warning!

Agree, I like the tartan but the overall look is messy and dowdy.

Thanks for the link janerowena.

I wondered who the woman was on the left when I saw it on t.v. I must admit I thought it was another style of uniform and I wondered where the hell they would use it. I take it now she is the designer so it makes sense.

I think the blokes look so feminine and silly. Not bad looking though blush

I thought the tartan was designed specifically for the Games... I love the tartan just don't like the nasty turquoise accessories, it looks horrendous.

It's revolting. I have a Scottish friend who is voting against it. I have said that I WILL vote against it, because if they wear it, England will win because they will be too busy laughing at them to get on with the games.

I don't want to upset any of the lovely Scottish GN's but I can't help disliking the Commonwealth Games uniform.

I love the tartan and I would appreciate it if anybody could tell me which clan it belongs to or any history belonging to it.

I think it's the pattern and the colour turquoise I find 'shouts' out so loudly.

It just looks so wrong. confused
