New Scotland kit reflects national tradition of twee indie music

Scotland's new away kit is making waves by embracing the country's tradition of producing sensitive indie music for delicate manchildren, as confirmed by the SFA.

The kit will make its debut when Scotland faces Haiti, Morocco, and Brazil in the World Cup. The launch was accompanied by a fanfare of jangly guitar and a maudlin rendition of 'Lloyd, I'm Ready To Be Heartbroken' by Camera Obscura.

The ensemble includes a pinstriped pink shirt with a fey thistle motif, anoraks, thick-rimmed glasses held together with tape, and a dream journal for each player.

A spokesperson said, "From The Pastels to BMX Bandits to Belle & Sebastian, Scotland has long been a global leader in wistful disappointment thanks to a natural abundance of sexless, pasty-faced introverts."

"This kit embodies the feeling of being obsessed with a girl who doesn't know you exist, walking through rain feeling melancholy but strangely uplifted, and writing excruciating love poetry well into your 20s. That's the energy we're taking to the World Cup."

The shirt, available in sizes from S to XXXS, is crafted from high-tech microfibers that absorb, reflect, and magnify the wearers' crippling self-doubt.

Adidas assures fans it looks best in Kelvingrove Park's early autumn sunshine but can also be enjoyed through a Super 8 camera's viewfinder.

Self-described Bowlie kid Will McKay commented, "It's not knitted, which is ridiculous. Frankly, I preferred their earlier stuff."
