Historical Football Kits

Irn Bru Scottish Third Division 2007 - 2008

The Third Division is the lowest tier in the Scottish Football League structure and at this level, crowds are generally below 500. Nevertheless, these are clubs with long histories and traditions behind them as well as small but devoted fan bases.

Albion Rovers

Designer: Macron

Sponsor: Reigart Contracts Ltd

For their 125th anniversary the Wee Rovers have brought together their original blue with the yellow worn since the 60s. The familiar red and yellow colours are retained for their change kit.

Arbroath

Designer: Errea

Sponsor: Portcullis Bar

The Red Lichties' kit is unchanged this season, an Errea template that was also worn by Middlesbrough (in red and white) last year.

Dumbarton

Designer: Vandanel

Sponsor: Ballantyne's Whisky

Dumbarton's new kit, created by Vandanel, is an elegant interpretation of the gold shirts and black shorts worn in recent seasons. The navy away kit was introduced mid-way through last season.

East Fife

Designer: Diadora

Sponsor: Adam Smith College (Home), Pinpoint Security (Away)

Diadora's take on East Fife's traditional gold and black stripes is one of the most innovative kits introduced this season. The away kit is based on the same template but in red and white.

East Stirlingshire

Designer: Joma

Sponsor: Northern Blue Music (Home), Life Skills (Away)

After the humiliation of finishing rock bottom for the last five seasons, there are signs of recovery at "The Shire." Over the summer the SFL decided not to reduce the club to associate membership under rule 21.5 with a warning that this rule will be invoked if they finish last in 2008. Furthermore, a new board has been brought in and David Mackin, chairman since 1999, has left. The club had set its heart on returning to their traditional narrow black and white hoops but after a deal with Umbro fell through, their new supplier, Joma, was unable to provide hooped tops in time for the new season. So, for the second year in a row, the Shire are turning out in all-white.

The team turned out in a one-off strip in their Scottish Cup tie against Rangers, manufactured by Hummel. The club's sponsors (a music publisher) chose to promote one of their bands for this high profile game.

Elgin City

Designer: Hummel

Sponsor: George S Hay Ltd Insurance Brokers

Elgin's home strip is produced by Hummel and based on their traditional black and white stripes.

Forfar Athletic

Designer: Macron

Sponsor: Orchard Timber Products

Macron's design for Forfar's 2007-08 kit is very similar to last seasons with the addition of white flashes down the side of the body. Their away kit harks back to the days when the club wore green and white between 1955 and 1967.

Montrose

Designer: Nike

Sponsor: Bon Accord Glass

Montrose have opted for Nike's popular Harlequin design, which features shiny material on one side of the shirt and dull material on the other.

Stenhousemuir

Designer: Lotto

Sponsor: G&R Contracts Ltd (Home), Redrow Homes (Away)

Stenhousemuir have returned to a traditional look, albeit with Lotto's flashes on the shirt, after wearing all-maroon for the last couple of seasons.

Sponsor: Stena Line

Stranraer's home kit is unchanged from last season, a simple Nike Harlequin design in the clubs traditional blue shirts and white shorts.
