tasteless?
The Team Scotland athletes have received their kit including the parade uniform for the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games opening ceremony.
Designed by textile artist Jilli Blackwood, the uniform includes turquoise, fuchsia and navy tartan.
Hundreds of Team Scotland athletes were in Stirling for the final Team Camp when the outfits were revealed.
The men's uniform comprises a blue shirt while a flowing wrap-around dress has been designed for the women.
A shawl-like wrap and stone-coloured leather bag complete the women's uniform, the latter worn diagonally across the front like one half of the St Andrew's Cross.

How to make fit attractive people look dumpy. I'm not sure if the colors or the cut are worse. Awful!

The chubby guy in the T and jeans is sort of OK I guess - not in himself but in the fashion sense a step above.

Scotland just isn't turquoise - wtf was she thinking?
Obviously the lesson here is that Scots are far too polite, else someone would have put the kibosh on these designs.
