Team Scotland reveals uniforms for 2026 Commonwealth Games

Team Scotland has revealed its Ceremony Outfits for the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games.

The attire, which will be worn during the Opening Ceremony on 23rd July 2026, was unveiled at a special dinner to mark 100 days to go until the Games, bringing together stakeholders, partners, athletes and supporters.

The Team Scotland tartan for Glasgow 2026, unveiled on Tartan Day on 6th April, uses the Team Scotland thistle logo as inspiration, incorporating metallic gold yarn to represent the team’s ambition and pursuit of success. Gold embroidery on the shirt collar and custom-made kilt pins tie-in the thistle design and metallic gold from the tartan, as accents in the full outfit.

In addition to the main team attire, the outfits to be worn by the flagbearers were also revealed, adding a jacket and fly plaid to create an eye-catching contemporary twist on tradition.

Team Scotland is collaborating with award-winning Scottish designer Siobhan Mackenzie for a third time. Siobhan, who kick-started her career as tailoring technician at Glasgow 2014, designed the women’s Ceremony Outfit for the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games, and the tartan and Ceremonies Outfits at Birmingham 2022.

She has once again designed all elements for the team at Glasgow 2026, from the tartan to the outfits and accessories, with everything being manufactured in Scotland.

Siobhan said: “It’s an incredible honour to be asked to design the Ceremony Outfits for Team Scotland at a home Games. I want the athletes to walk out into the Opening Ceremony feeling great in their outfit, with the bold colours and introduction of metallic gold representing their drive and determination.

“The outfits are classic and timeless, with the tartan very much the focus.

"It’s also really important to me that everything is made in Scotland, from the woven cloth to the finished garments and accessories, supporting local textiles and craftsmanship."

Team Scotland Chef de Mission Elinor Middlemiss MBE said: “After months of planning it is really exciting to see the designs come to life and we are delighted with the new look created by Siobhan.

“I hope our athletes will take great pride in wearing it as they make their grand entrance in front of a home crowd this summer.
