Almost like the material they used on the next seasons Alexanders shirts. Anyone have an idea why mine is different to the flat looking material? Still have it and also have tracksuit bottoms pictured here. For some strange reasons there may have been alternate versions, daft as it may seem. for Christmas one year my brother got the white away version of this, and the tracksuit above from Topsport in Gorgie Road. The top had in fact an open v-necked collar, ala Derby County and the tracksuit had a hooped design roll necked collar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s actually Ian Paterson, played a few first team games, but was a regular goal scorer for many years with Brechin City, that picture was taken at Easter Road at the 1978 EOS final.

It was the same with Scotland. The overall design of the shirt remained the same but the white 'V' panel was replaced by a thinner, v-neck style but with a similar big collar. The shiny material also replaced the Airtex material that JJ is wearing in that pic eventually. It's a classic design they could probably afford to play about with.

BM1874 Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Initial impression is that it’s lovely overiding emotion is that the club has slightly lost touch and that at £50 and a 4th kit of the season (will it be worn? Didn’t read that it will be but I may have missed it) they are beginning to milk it a bit much. but I do really like it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neon Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Going against public opinion on this one it seems, I am not a fan of the diamonds. During childhood the only Diamond gear I can think I owned was a Scotland shellsuit in 1986 Wasn't a huge fan of the roseberry either, even this seasons stip buttoned up collar I think could have been better. Loved the memorial shirt and the FoH one. Weird for me not to like a Hearts strip.....Honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CornhillHearts Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Ordered, nostalgia rules..... I had a players issue (Willie Gibson) of this top that my dad managed to get a hold of when I was a kid. Wore it all the time, to my bed as a kid then playing 5s etc when I eventually grew in to it. Was a bit threadbare, diamond strip coming off, ripped collar. My mum chucked it out, was devastated.

Paolo Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 I will almost certainly order one for myself. Will check my bank balance first. Hopefully I can. I think they will go fast. I think I actually prefer it to the current strip (material aside - based on original). Partly because, if you are going to have a collar, you have a proper collar. And I love that badge. It may be limited at the moment, but if there is demand, we would be nuts not to release more. Does not mention any release date though. I want it now.

...a bit disco Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Hearts fans face race to land limited edition iconic 78 jersey The classic design is beloved by the Jambos faithful and the club are releasing 500 replicas in the build-up to Christmas. Hearts fans will get the chance to get their hands on a limited edition version of their iconic 1978 jersey. The classic design is beloved by the Jambos faithful and the club are releasing 500 replicas in the build-up to Christmas. It's been a hectic spell for Hearts after the race against time to open their main stand ahead of Sunday's draw against Partick Thistle . The game was given the thumbs up and now the club will hope they can push on after a tumultuous season, both on and off the park. The club have been widely praised for their relationship with fans since chairwoman Ann Budgetook charge in 2014. Supporters have the chance to pre-order now with the jersey costing £50. http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/hearts-fans-face-race-land-11567786 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
