RandomGuy. Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Cursed to be worn once, in a miserable rainy night in Perth in February, during a forgettable 1-1 draw. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Hearts fans will be biased and probably less objective tbf. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It catches the spirit of the 1874 kit perfectly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theyellowbox Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Hearts win. Strip is fantastic, but that video is on a different level. Not even a hearts fan, but that would stir pretty much anyone to want to buy it! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Other Foot Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 Did we cover Dundee United’s tribute to their magnificent overlords? I couldn’t see anything in the last few pages. Presumably this was decided before their magnificent overlords lost to a bunch of Andorran minnows. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"OOOoooft" levels of ugliness. ..to be fair we had an anniversary kit, based on our first strip, and it looked god awful too. The badge wasn't ugly as sin, though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually really like the kit other than the badge to be fair. I just feel the badge is a bit too much “in your face” (whilst appreciating its trying to be historically accurate) that it spoils it slightly ETA: it reminds me of our anniversary kit (no laughing in the back please) which is why I think I like it, but prefer the more subtle badge on ours.

I wouldn't go so far as saying I really like it, but I do like the "retro clean-ness" of the strip, but as you say, that badge, irrespective of historical accuracy, is minging. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the idea of that Hearts strip too, but if historical accuracy is a thing, then you can clearly see from the old photo that the heart badge is clearly a more defined heart shape than the big maroon blob on the new shirt. There’s also no maroon trim on the sleeves of the old photo. If the new strip is merely ‘based on’ the old one, then fair enough, add the maroon sleeve trim, but come on, have a crest more resembling a heart, not a big maroon blobby shape. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are also wearing long trousers, and if Hearts could return to that tradition when they play us then that would be just fine. Odd, though, as you say, that the badge is not as historical as the image shows. No idea why they chose the design they did. Perhaps a tip of the hat to women footballers and their issues with all white strips. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps a tip of the hat to women footballers and their issues with all white strips. Fair point. Looking again at that historical B&W photo, in 2023, Hearts should indeed run out for the new season in long johns, with one team member assigned a shirt like the bloke second from the left - the ‘ooh la la’ low cut version. They should also pose for a team photo and balance a big heavy leather ball on their captain’s napper. Come on Hearts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Wonder Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 Hearts top sold out, online and in store, within an hour. Don't think I've seen that before. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
