Paolo Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 I don't have a problem with sponsors logos, I actually prefer all of our strips recently with sponsors logo's on them, even the Wonga one. The main gripe I have with this one is the fact it's a massive heart in the middle of the strip. Just looks daft. Likewise. An archer would have a field day.

The People's Chimp Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Farin has nailed it Fair enough let FOH "sponsor" the strip but come on the logo is just gash and really spoils the look of what would otherwise have been a really top selling strip Lets face it "brand" awareness is not at all important for FOH. They have a closed/captured market. Awareness yes get their name on the front of the strip but that lolloping big plasticy heart logo on the strip is an abomination. Its the first fail of the new regime - loss of sponsorhip money (the sentiment of which I can live with) but also loss of sales revenue from less away strips being sold. Really daft - it wouldnt have taken Gok Wan to recognise that the logo is off putting... FOH/Hearts have shot themselves in the fokt with that logo. I great top ruined. Would have loved an excusr to give Hearts a bit more cash but i'd never feel happy wearing that. Still better than anything St Mirren or Hibs have though!. These. It's such a wasted opportunity.

CJGJ Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Some on here sounding like fans posting on village.net It is a very good away strip and has the benefit of providing free publicity to a cause that should be encouraged by all posting on this site. Personally I think some are simply making comparison to a fantastic home top with NO logo...........no other top will compare with the home version so get over it, appreciate the away top it for what it is and buy it. Of course it will suffer in comparison the home top but I'll bet there are many teams who wish their home top was as good as our away top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomaso Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Peoples Chimp - I think both count when you consider if the crest is acceptable or not. FoH saved our Club and I (along with thousands of others) played a part which I am proud of. My view is display the crest proudly on the shirt - even if some do not care for the design.

Ulysses Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 seriously? I'd say the Hobos one was awful this one aint that bad I don't care what Hibs produce since I wouldn't be in the market for it anyway. The logo ruins the look of the shirt. If they wanted to put FoH on the top, they should have done it without using the crest. It just doesn't work.

Mikey1874 Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 If Hearts were really clever they would see there is a clear split here. Yes lots of people like it but lots and lots won't buy it as it is now but still love the strip without the logo. Can see the potential to sell at least the same again with no / smaller logo.

Tommy Wiseau Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 I don't know why some of you lot are obsessed with Logos it's the future things progress it's money for the club. Would you want to go back to the the days when, players got boot money but spent their days down the pit....anything that brings money into the club is fine by me, It's a pity we can't compete with the cheeks but we signed ourselves to the corrup GFA so we have to live with it like many things in life....

Guest oldcastlerock2012 Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 I like it the more I see it. Considering some of the naff sponsor logos or names we've had on our strips over the years this one is much better as it actually means something. It's a sponsor we can be proud of and displaying it on the shirts will gain exposure and good PR for the Foundation, hopefully increasing direct debits.
