Ah, here we go:

TEAM Scotland athletes have put on show their parade uniforms for this month’s Commonwealth Games opening ceremony – to a mixed reaction.

The outfit received a positive reception from more than 400 athletes and officials in Stirling yesterday.

But public enthusiasm did not match the buzz from competitors.

J Musselman tweeted: “1974 phoned and wants its wardrobe back.”

And Colin Clason said: “There’s fashion disasters and there’s whatever that monstrosity is. Look like air stewardesses.”

The parade uniforms have been made by Glaswegian textile designer and artist Jilli Blackwood, and combines a turquoise, fuchsia, navy blue and caramel tartan with a blue shirt for the men, and a flowing wrap-around dress for the women, inspired by the Saltire flag.

Athletes picked up their full kit yesterday, as well as the parade outfits, and many spoke of their pride to receive the gear in the final countdown to the games.

Team Scotland boxer and Scottish and British champion Lewis Benson tweeted: “Proud to be part of Team Scotland the kit is amazing!”

Gymnast Amy Regan said: “I am in love with our @Team_Scotland kit for the games! Can’t wait to wear it! Not long now #glasgow2014 #GoScotland.”

Yeah , they do look good Veya, I'm not a kilt wears myself as I'm sure if I wore one and the wind blew it up, that the ladies would get a big surprise, and I wouldn't want to give them such a big scare!

Yeah, I actually thought the cut of the dresses would be kind of nice if it weren't for the color; maybe a darker shade?
