Rivalries Since 1907, the Callies, and later Edmonton Scottish, have maintained three distinct rivalries. Most prominently, the club has had a century-long rivalry with their Scottish
Battle of Alberta counterparts, the
Calgary Callies, and throughout the 1950s, developed a cross-city rivalry with 1st DFC Victoria following consecutive meetings in Dragoon Cup Finals. A third rivalry with
Edmonton Ital-Canadians emerged in the 1970s, with the teams often competing for league titles in EDSA, and later the first iteration of
AMSL.
Supporters Tartan Army pictured cheering on Edmonton Scottish during a
League1 Alberta match. Supporters of Edmonton Scottish are known collectively as the
tartan army. For ticketed matches, they are joined by the Clan MacNaughton
pipe band, who provide a
guard of honour as teams walk onto the pitch.
Highland Herd Crew In 2023, an independent group of
ultras called the Highland Herd Crew was founded by Scottish supporters to cheer on its
League1 Alberta and
AMSL squads. Occupying the north stands of
Hamish Black Field, they quickly became known for their drumming, use of
smoke grenades, and
tifo displays.
Team colours and crest Edmonton Scottish SC's crest is inspired by the crest worn by
Scotland's national soccer team. A roundel encloses a shield, with the words "Edmonton Scottish Soccer Club" written around the outside. In the shield's background lays a
lion rampant surrounded by 11
thistle, representing the national flower of
Scotland and the number of players on a soccer pitch. The club's official colours are Big Stone Blue and Polo Blue, which symbolize loyalty, strength, trust, and their connection to Scotland, as well as Maroon Flush, which pays homage to the autumn colours of the nearby Ewing Trail
tree tunnel. == Kits and sponsorship ==
