Leith Athletic 1888/89, Club Colours Series (Scotland)

Leith Athletic — 1888/89

Founded in the port district of Edinburgh, Leith Athletic were among the early standard-bearers of Scottish football. Their bold hooped strip of the late nineteenth century reflects a formative period in the game, when clubs were defining their identities through colour and design. This artwork recalls Leith Athletic during their early competitive years and forms part of the World Vintage Football Club Colours Series, celebrating Scotland’s rich footballing heritage.

World Vintage Football – Club Colours Series (Scotland)

World Vintage Football proudly pays homage to the rich and often overlooked heritage of Scottish football through the Club Colours Series — a growing collection of A3 archival-quality prints celebrating both current and defunct Scottish clubs.

Each artwork explores the distinctive strips worn since the dawn of the Scottish game, capturing the colours, patterns, and character that defined clubs and communities across more than a century of football history. From early pioneers to long-lost teams, every design is rooted in careful historical research and period authenticity.

Produced at museum-grade quality, these prints are designed for framing and display, offering striking visual pieces that resonate with historians, collectors, and supporters alike. Together, the series forms a visual record of Scotland’s extraordinary footballing tapestry — artefacts that inform, inspire, and are certain to wow all who see them.

All Scottish clubs will be featured.
