‘Every club should do this' – even rival fans love SPFL team's new kit styled on classic album cover by Scots rock band
TOP IN TUNE 'Every club should do this' – even rival fans love SPFL team's new kit styled on classic album cover by Scots rock band Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) AN SPFL team's new music-inspired strip is proving to be a hit with fans - and not just their own! The club has used an album cover from one of the local area's most-celebrated bands as the foundation for the design of the shirt. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 The inside of the collar on the new kit links to an iconic club song 2 The song is from the band's most famous album - now it's part of a kit! Dunfermline punk heroes Skids emerged from the city in 1979 with Scared to Dance, which spawned hit singles such as Into the Valley and The Saints Are Coming. To this day, Dunfermline Athletic run out to Into the Valley on matchday and the band is a firm favourite for many in the fanbase. To celebrate the club's connection with the rock group, the Championship side have unveiled a new kit based on the cover of Scared to Dance. It will act as the team's third kit, with a classic black and white striped number in use for the home strip and this season's away shirt a black and yellow striped affair. The top for the third kit takes on the blue marble flooring from the album cover, while the next features the iconic red logo of the band. Needless to say, the East End Park faithful are absolutely loving the new strip. One said: "Oh my god it is beautiful, an all timer. "Absolutely belting album as well." Another said: "A unique design and the club are to be applauded for creating a kit that is so strongly linked to the city and its music. Prefer this bold approach over some catalogue top with a Pars badge stuck on." But supporters from other clubs are approving of it too - even rival fans. Moment Aberdeen & Dunfermline fans join together to pay tribute to legendary former manager Jimmy Calderwood Scots novelist Ian Rankin - who supports Dunfermline's arch rivals, Raith Rovers - said: "As a Raith Rovers fan, even I think this is damned cool…" And a Cowdenbeath fan quipped: "I really want to hate this but it's a thing of beauty. B******." Some think the new top could start a trend... "Absolutely on board with kits based on album covers," said one fan. While this Rangers supporter said: "Every club should do this. Aberdeen with an Annie Lennox top, Queen of the South with a Calvin Harris inspired number." Another Gers fan called it "outstanding" while a Celtic supporter said it was "sensational". Before a Hearts fan said: "I actually really like that. Errea has done good work on that." While an Airdrie supporter commented: "I'm here as an Airdrie fan to say this is absolutely magnificent and I'm sorely tempted to buy one even though I'm an auld bloke who doesn't even wear fitba jerseys anymore." From further afield Bristol City supporter commented: "Absolute class. Well done Dunfermline Athletic!" And an Ipswich Town fan told their club "This is how you do a shirt!" A news article on the club's website read: "Dunfermline Athletic is delighted to reveal our third kit for season 2025/26. "The Pars, to this day, run out to 'Into The Valley' by the Skids, and our third kit pays the ultimate homage to one of the greatest bands to come out of Dunfermline. "Released in February 1979, the debut studio album from the punk rock band featured an iconic artwork featuring a blue marble flooring that has been transformed into the body of the new shirt. "Our club badge is colour-matched to the marble pattern behind for a sleek modern finish, with the Errea logo embroidered in dark blue. "The shirt is finished with Errea's usual high-quality finishes. Our collar trim carries the message 'Identity, Unity, Passion', taken from messaging in a Section North West banner. "The rear of the neck features the iconic red 'Skids' logo, and the inside of the neck features a copy of Skids frontman Richard Jobson's handwritten title. "A portion of the profits from each shirt sold will support the work of the White Ribbon Campaign in Dunfermline. The White Ribbon campaign in Dunfermline, and throughout Fife, is part of a global effort to end men's violence against women. The campaign encourages individuals, especially men and boys, to pledge to never commit, condone, or remain silent about violence against women. "Club partners continue as our front-of-shirt sponsor, with an all-white version of their logo to support the sleek look of the shirt. Our continued thanks go to the team at "As per the home and away shirts, KDM Group will feature on the junior editions of the shirts, and the mini kits will be sponsorless. "To go with the away shirt, we pair up dark blue with marble blue trim and matching dark blue socks. "From a technical point of view, the shirt is made with sublimation printing, a process that ensures high-quality and long-lasting graphics, and like all Erreà Sport products, the shirt is certified according to Oeko-Tex Standard 100, a certification that sets extremely stringent limitations on the use of substances that can be harmful to health. "Our new third kit is currently on sale at this evening's community open day and will be available in the DAFC Club shop tomorrow, Friday, at 10am, and online Saturday, subject to availability."
