No you are correct, the claret sash black top was worn for the first time on Skippy Sunday. I am not sure on the regulations regarding match kit, although you do need to register your playing kit with the SFA before the start of each season. There may be a loophole that allows you to wear new kit during the season or there is a possibility that we have already registered the new kit with the SFA. Anyway, if it happens it would be nice to see the new kit in action before the start of next season.
