Six Nations Kilt and Scott Porage Oats

[Jimmy]

Scotts have introduced a new packaging brand for their front cover, The first major packaging change since 1955 which featured the kilted shot-putter.
This advertising campaign will promote the partnership between the Scottish Rugby Union's 6 nations tournament and the Scotts brand.

the design will feature Scotish Rugby internationalists in their new 6 Nations shirt and kilt.
It certainly seems to be quite impactful and will stimulate interest from kilt wearers and potential kilt wearers as well as those who admire rugby players in kilts

I saw this in the metro.
New cover looks great!

[Jimmy]

I would imagine that there is a six nations tartan, if that is it on the cover, it looks quite good

Chas, thanks for your help on this, I was not familiar with The Scottish Rugby Tartan but as you say it is a good looking tartan, very attractive.
I will have to get a kilt in this tartan, possibly may get one in Glasgow

Awww--I saw 6 nations and thought about the Iriquois lacrosse team whose colors are yellow, black and purple. That would have been a really wierd kilt. But, I could see it working with an eagle in the pleats.

Nice looking tartan, nonetheless...gotta like the blue and green tartans!

You know, I love Rugby and Scotts Porage Oats and I really like this idea. But I hope it's just a temporary thing. I grew up being told to eat my Porage if I wanted to be like the Scotts Porage Oats man and I'd be sad to see him go permanently.

But Arlen, if you had grown up to look like this Scotts Porage Oats man, well how can I say this. . . your lovely lady would have some competition on her hands LOL

LOL. My wife will never have competition. She's gorgeous and she knits for me!

Hopefully by the end of the year I'll look a lot more like him.
