The Team Colours Project.

Appendix: Scottish League Sides.

As with the English sides, this page attempts to help supporters track down their own teams from the eleven pages of team colours (i.e. from about a thousand kits). The Scottish sides don't change kits as much as the English sides. Well either that, or Subbuteo didn't bother keeping pace with small changes north of the border. In fact some sides never change numbers from flat 1950s figures to the last Hasbro catalogue of 1996. Cool huh?

As with the English appendix, kits that were initially produced solely for the club in question are in bold type.

Clydebank   Home ---- ---- ---- 073, 129   482, 605, 787
A team with a complicated history. First Scottish league appearance was in 1964-65 when they merged with East Stirlingshire to form Clydebank East Stirlingshire FC, who played home games alternatively at each town. This arrangement only lasted one season, but Subbuteo's brown scoreboard cards continued to call them ES Clydebank. The now solo Clydebank joined the Scottish league in 1966-67. They sold their ground in 1996, and ground-shared with Greenock and Dumbarton. Bought in 2002, renamed Airdrie Utd, and moved into the Airdrieonians stadium. Thus saving the Airdrie name (and club colours) at expense of the Clydebank ones.
