SCOTLAND'S new away kit was unveiled this week, heralding a colour switch from pink to yellow. 

The national team's track record with alternative jerseys has been patchy at best, but the latest effort has gone down well with many fans since its release on Tuesday. 

It has been seven years since the Tartan Army last pulled on a yellow top, but it is by no means a new look for the Scots, with the latest effort becoming Scotland's seventh canary-coloured kit.

The first all-yellow shirt appeared in 1985, but failed to make an appearance at the 1986 World Cup in Mexico when the national team were led by Alex Ferguson following the tragic and sudden death of Jock Stein. 

Three years later in 1988 some new national shirts were launched and the yellow theme remained in the change jersey, although this time in the form of hoops.

Scotland kicked off the 1990 World Cup campaign in this top against Costa Rica, but they suffered an embarrassing 1-0 defeat and reverted to the classic blue for the final two games. 

Scotland would be seen in yellow at a World Cup again though, in the national team's last major finals appearance at France '98. The yellow shirt was worn for the second group game against Norway, which ended in a 1-1 draw. 

In 2002 Fila had a go at designing a yellow kit before Diadora took on the job a year later with an amber third kit that was unveiled for a 3-0 friendly defeat at home to Hungary. 

The most recent incarnation came in 2010, when Adidas returned to the colour for one year before reverting to white.
