Alloa Athletic
First
Second
Designer: Pendle
Sponsor: Marshall Construction
Alloa's first kit is a familiar design simply updated to Pendle's latest design. The change strip is unchanged although the sponsor's logo has been revised.

Dumbarton
First
Second
Designer: Joma
Sponsor: Baxter Ramsay
Dumbarton have retained their retro strip from last season and introduced a change strip in their traditional gold and black.

Falkirk
First
Second
Designer: Puma
Sponsor: Central Demolition Ltd
To mark a ten-year partnership with Central Demolition Ltd, the detailing on both strips is picked out in gold. which looks particularly good on the navy shirt.

Greenock Morton
First
Second
Designer: Nike
Sponsor: Millions Chews
League One champions Morton are keeping their smart first shirt but curiously they have registered blue shorts and socks as first choice rather than the white ones worn during last season's successful campaign. The new version of the dreadful Nike Precision III is adopted for the change kit.
(David Watson)
Hibernian
First
Second
Designer: Nike
Sponsor: Marathon Bet
Hibs finished as runners up last season but were knocked out of the promotion play-offs by Rangers. Dark green is retained but now worn with the traditional white sleeves, a very smart combination. Purple kits have a special place in Hibs' fans' hearts ever since Bukta produced their first version in the 70s.

Livingston
First
Second
Designer: Joma
Sponsor: Krafty Brew
Standard designs from Joma's latest catalogue have been chosen for Livingston this season. First choice is Estadio while Copa is one of Joma's striped templates. On the eve of the new season Energy Assets dropped their sponsorship of Livi's shirts: an alternative was found in short order and supporters who bought new shirts with the old logo on can exchange them at the club shop.

Queen of the South
First
Second
Third
Designer: Joma
Sponsor: Palmerston Cafe
The Doonhamers are wearing single colour strips including a white third choice for use when visiting teams that wear navy. The annual shirt sponsorship draw was won by a popular Dumfries cafe and takeaway, one of many in Scotland run by a Scottish/Italian family.
(Russel Campbell)
Raith Rovers
First
Second
Third
Designer: Puma
Sponsor: Val McDermid (1st) Fife Hyundai (3rd)
Raith have reverted to navy shirts and it is rather disappointing that they have opted for a standard Puma template after the bespoke shirts of the last two seasons. Nevertheless, the Pitch design does look smart in navy and white. The commemorative change strip is retained and a limited edition third strip, to be worn at Falkirk, is introduced.

Rangers
First
Second
Third
Designer: Puma
Sponsor: 32Red
A chaotic season brought further financial problems, an acrimonious struggle for control and the alienation of many fans. Ultimately 'Gers failed to win promotion but many think they are not in a position to compete in the top tier yet and supporters now look to new owner, Dave King, to make good on his promises to stabilise and rebuild.
There is no surprise with the first choice kit but many supporters will not buy it because Mike Ashley's Sports
Direct rather than the club take the profits. The second kit is in the new Puma Finale design. The puff accompanying the launch of the purple third shirt includes more than the usual serving of bollocks. Strategically placed ACTV strips within the jersey micro-massage specific areas and enables (sic) a faster and more effective energy supply to the muscles, for example. Furthermore, Ruth How, Puma UK's Head of Marketing, informs us that the alternative shirt gave us the opportunity to deliver a standout graphic inspired by (Rangers') rich history. Not Puma's standard Swerve template at all then.

St Mirren
First
Second
Designer: Carbrini
Sponsor: King of Trainers
The dreadful strip that resembled an American referee's outfit worn last season is unlikely to be seen again following the Buddies' relegation to the second tier. The new first strip is a considerable improvement.
