Partick Thistle home kit 1978–79 (don't think it was worn after that?) Always a pleasure to illustrate a Partick kit.

I love football kits.
I love the Scotland national team.
I love writing for Nutmeg Magazine.
This brilliant new publication, celebrating Scotland at the Euros, produced in conjunction with The Herald, allowed me to do all three of the above.

Could anyone help me identify Cowdenbeath's Admiral away kit from the 1975-76 season please? The home looked like this but i'm struggling to find the away version. Thank you!
