Every Scottish Premiership club has now revealed its home kit for the 2026/27 season, and as you’d expect, every fan thinks their team’s kit is the nicest. To settle the debate, the team at BestBettingBonuses asked Glasgow-based fashion expert and personal stylist Elena Taggart from The Closet Stylist to review all 12 shirts and rank them from best to worst. Elena judged each kit on colour, cut, detailing and how well it would actually work on the pitch.

The Full SPFL 2026/27 Kit Ranking

Elena Taggart ranked all 12 Scottish Premiership home kits from 1st to 12th.

Rank Club Verdict
1 Aberdeen Effortless, deep red winner
2 Celtic Luxury gold detailing, 10/10 layout
3 St Mirren Timeless black and white
4 Hibernian Crisp green with raglan sleeves
5 Dundee FC Smart navy, slightly generic
6 Rangers Well balanced but repetitive
7 St Johnstone Warm colour, 80s carpeting print
8 Falkirk Great steeple crest, dated overall
9 Hearts Lovely burgundy, odd shoulder detail
10 Dundee United High-vis vibes
11 Motherwell Teletubby chaos
12 Kilmarnock Two-year-old with a blue Sharpie

1. Aberdeen

Aberdeen take the top spot, and it was not a close call. Elena rates the shirt as the most complete design in the league.

What Elena likes: The red is deep and rich, and it looks expensive. The detailing is subtle rather than shouty, and the whole thing will stand out on the pitch without trying too hard. “Absolutely everything,” she says. “Top points all round.”

What Elena doesn’t like: Nothing. The kit is effortless, and there is nothing she would change.

2. Celtic

Celtic finish a close second thanks to one design choice that lifts the entire strip.

What Elena likes: The gold detailing. It elevates the shirt and adds a touch of luxury that most kits never reach for. Elena also points to the placement of the sponsor name and the club badge, which she scores 10/10 for attention to detail.

What Elena doesn’t like: Horizontal stripes are a risk. They can make even the fittest player look chunkier than they are. The gold makes up for it.

3. St Mirren

St Mirren land on the podium with a shirt that plays it straight and gets it right.

What Elena likes: The minimalist black and white styling. It is elegant, it is timeless, and it will look as good in five years as it does now.

What Elena doesn’t like: Look at it for too long and it starts to give slight striped-pyjama energy.

4. Hibernian

Hibs get the colour right, and the cut backs it up.

What Elena likes: The shade of green is crisp and clean. The balance between the green and the white is exactly right, and the raglan sleeve works with the shape of the shirt.

What Elena doesn’t like: The sponsor. It is a small point, but a footballer running around in a shirt that reads “Bevvy” does not do much for the healthy, aspirational sportsman image, app or no app.

5. Dundee FC

Dundee sit mid-table with a shirt that is well made but short on personality.

What Elena likes: It reads black at first glance and is actually navy, which is a nice surprise. In the right light, the navy should come forward and lift the whole design.

What Elena doesn’t like: It gives generic sportswear vibes. It is a little nondescript and does not stand out.

6. Rangers

Rangers get the fundamentals right, but Elena has seen this shirt before.

What Elena likes: The balance of colour works, and the red detailing on the sleeve cuff pulls it together.

What Elena doesn’t like: It feels familiar. Whether it is an intentional retro nod or not, the concept has been done dozens of times, and the result is safe.

7. St Johnstone

St Johnstone have two good ideas and one that Elena would send back.

What Elena likes: The colour is warm and bright. She is also a fan of the collar shape, which she rates as super elegant on a football shirt.

What Elena doesn’t like: The geometric “eye-test” print on the blue. It brings to mind very intense 1980s carpeting.

8. Falkirk

Falkirk scores on sentiment and loses ground on design.

What Elena likes: The steeple on the chest. As a closet Bairn who has spent more than one Hogmanay at the steeple parties, Elena rates it as a proper local touch.

What Elena doesn’t like: It is boring, and arguably old-fashioned. Not in a cool retro way.

9. Hearts

Hearts have the best colour in the bottom half and one detail Elena cannot unsee.

What Elena likes: The burgundy is a lovely warm shade.

What Elena doesn’t like: The arrow detail on the shoulder. It looks like a tyre print, as if the player has been run over by the road crew from the Dundee United kit.

10. Dundee United

Visibility is not a problem for Dundee United. Subtlety is.

What Elena likes: You will never lose a United player on the pitch. Sunglasses optional.

What Elena doesn’t like: It is giving serious high-vis. Spot someone wearing it in the street, and you would assume they had come to fix your tyre or were on shift at the never-ending M8 roadworks.

11. Motherwell

Motherwell finish second bottom, and Elena struggled to find a positive.

What Elena likes: The sponsor’s name is spelt correctly.

What Elena doesn’t like: Everything else. If Dundee United went for road-worker styling, this one is Teletubby chaos, and it is actively making her eyes bleed.

12. Kilmarnock

Kilmarnock prop up the table.

What Elena likes: “Oh dear, next question.”

What Elena doesn’t like: It looks like it was designed by a two-year-old with a blue Sharpie. It does not look like the strip of a top-flight club.
