It's that time of year, as national teams are starting to release their new kits for fans to buy in advance of the Christmas gift-giving extravaganza.
While the colour of home jerseys rarely changes (Come On You Boys in Green wouldn't work if they did) the away jerseys sees kit designers given a chance to go a bit wild and express themselves.
In recent years, Scotland have been at the forefront of that movement, what with their "fruit salad" inspired number last time out, but they've been getting plenty of attention on social media on Sunday after they released their new all pink away kit.

They also released a new home kit, with a touch of tartan, of course.

Ireland's new away jersey pales in comparison, you'd have to say.
