Leith Athletic celebrate dressed up in their new strips

Leith Athletic Football Club girls team netted a visit to Paolozzi at 100 at National Galleries Scotland: Modern Two.

Celebrating the 100th birthday of Leith artist Eduardo Paolozzi the free exhibition has taken over two rooms on the ground floor of the gallery on Belford Road, and offered an opportunity for the team to bring a bit of Leith to the exhibition.

All kitted out in their brand-new Paolozzi shirts, a tribute to the man himself, the Leith team marvelled at the 60 works including prints, tapestries, collages and sculptures.

There’s no substitute for Paolozzi! 

Leith Athletic is a community club with over 600 players offering a player pathway from age 5 to adults. As the club continues to grow, we are looking to develop our girls section which has around 30 players. The Paolozzi strip is a special limited edition, endorsed by the Paolozzi Foundation to help us fund the growth of the girls section and provide a sustainable and safe environment for the girls to thrive. The strip is available to pre-order using the link below.
