For the first time the SPFL has a sponsor. The deal was announced in May and is worth a little more than £4m over two years. All 42 members will receive something, ranging from £268,000 for the Premier League champions to £3,600 for the team finishing bottom of League Two.

The Dons have simply replaced their first strip with the latest Adidas version while an older template serves for the change kit.

After ten seasons with Nike, Celtic have signed up with New Balance whose first offering features broad hoops and horizontal pinstripes, not unlike the Umbro shirts worn in the early 1990s. The other outfits are also inspired by popular earlier strips. All-green was worn in the late 1960s while the third choice is based on the delicious "bumblebee kit" from the 90s. The Celtic Foundation logo replaced that of Magners when Celtic travelled to Iceland for a Champions League qualifier because the promotion of alcohol in sport is not permitted there. The special version of the "home" kit commemorates the Great Hunger that depopulated Ireland in the middle of the 19th century.

The light blue trimmings have been dropped from the first kit and the team will now turn out in the Puma Pitch design in their usual colours. Light blue does appear in the change shirt along with a rather effective rendering of the club crest embossed into the sash. The special kit was worn against Ross County to commemorate the opening of the Battle of Loos in September 1915. The sash is in the tartan of the 4th Battalion, The Black Watch (which was based in Dundee) and the regimental badge is embossed into the fabric of the shirt.

The first strip is as plain as you can get and is, aside from the sponsorship and almost imperceptible checkered pattern on the shirt, identical to the kit worn in 2009-10. The change strip is Nike's Park Derby design and a reminder that before orange was adopted in 1969, United wore all white trimmed with black.

Once again the Accies have produced their own first choice shirt and teamed it with shorts and socks from a mainstream supplier, Adidas replacing Nike this season. Our source suggests that Adidas could not supply a top with hoops of the desired width so the club sourced these themselves. There is no ambiguity about the change strip which is a straightforward Adidas design.
Following the terrorist attacks in Paris, Hamilton wore the French national team's change kit at Aberdeen as a tribute. Signed shirts were then sent to each of the French Ligue 1 clubs to be auctioned off for their favoured charities.

Hearts stormed to the Championship title last season and have bounced straight back into the top tier. The club have rejected standard shirt sponsorship in favour of an arrangement with the Save the Children fund which is expected to see a "seven-figure sum" split between the club and the charity. Hearts became the first senior UK club to adopt the living wage for all staff in October (FC United of Manchester were the first to adopt this policy). These are welcome elements in the owner's strategy to rebuild the club's reputation after the scandals that almost killed it off under the previous ownership. In 2013-14, 8,000 fans subscribed £120 each to keep the club alive and the name of each of them is printed into the third shirt - a superb gesture.

Caley Thistle are in Europe for the first time after finishing third last season. A sixteen year association with Errea has ended: the club has contracted with JD Sports who will supply their kit until 2018 and sell replicas through their own local retail outlet. As usual the first kit is mainly blue with strking red stripes on the front while the alternative is once again white.

Errea's design for the first kit takes us back to 1973, one of many retro inspired designs this season. The rather jarring orange trim, which first appeared last year, represents the corporate colours of Killie's shirt sponsor. The change kit is not one for traditionalists and features a recent Scottish innovation, the sponsored sock.

Having thrashed Rangers in the relegation play-off final to retain their seat at the top table, 'Well have re-created their landmark strip from 1973 complete with a revival of the calligraphic crest of the period. Devoid of the excessive detailing that spoiled last season's effort, this is an outstanding design as is the alternative.

Turner Prize nominated artist and Jags fan, David Shrigley, met Mike Wilkins, a managing member of a California-based investment company and art afficionado at a dinner some time ago. (Stay with me.) Conversation turned to the Jags and eventually led to a six-figure shirt sponsorship deal. Shrigley has designed the logo, which will adorn the floodlight pylons at Firhill, and the new mascot, Kingsley, perhaps the least cuddly of all mascots to grace a football ground. The new first strip is not at all bad either. The pale blue change strip is Joma's "Standard" template.

Ever since the Staggies dropped Nike in favour of JD Sports' stable of brands, they have turned out in striking outfits.

From a distance the Saints' new "home" shirt is a basic design with white trimmings but closer inspection reveals an elaborate jaquard pattern embossed into the fabric. Although blue shorts have been registered with the SPFL, the team are wearing white ones. There are no frills on the change strip.
