crichiejambos Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Mm new shirt is fine nothing outstanding! But if we win the Scottish cup it will be regarded as a classic then one will appear on eBay for £100 and some eejit will buy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jambotony Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 I might be wrong but I’m sure I read that our navy 3rd strip from last year was being retained for our away strip this year? Might be wrong as I said but I’m sure someone will be along soon to shout me down, argue for the sake of arguing ?? oh, I agree with the other poster, it’s a deep ‘ Hearts Maroon ‘ has the most beautiful badge in football history.. what’s not to love!

Retained as a third strip mate. I think its a view to eventually doing away with the third strip idea. Keep bringing them out and fans will expect it all the time.

Paolo Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 12 hours ago, PhoenixHearts said: Just in from picking up my new kit. Put a few filters on it to show up the two tone ajax style stripe on the front for those that were still struggling to see it. Also side by side comparison with last seasons. As you can see the base colour is much the same but the front strip of the new one makes it seem a fair bit darker. I really like it a lot. Now I see the two tones better, I like it less. Will probably still buy it, but the one tone (the darker) would be so much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nookie Bear Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 13 hours ago, been here before said: £48 for a tshirt. The price is steep but it’s not a tshirt though, is it. Its made with specific materials to make it more comfortable when playing, and it also has to withstand a lot of pulling and stretching if you’re playing 5’s every week, not to mention keeping its shape after many washes. I doubt your basic £40 Fred Perry tshirt would cope with that. You’re paying extra for the “brand”, obviously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the darker strip, but my one criticism of it is that it's almost unnoticeable in regular light circumstances and pretty much not even there when it's being worn. It's almost too subtle to the point where I question why it's even there at all. Bearing in mind, that's me punched the contrast right up to make it even more noticeable. End of the day, whether it's seems pointless or not, it's a nice wee personal touch and I'm glad Umbro at least made the effort to do something bespoke for us. I wouldn't let it put you off too much and your best bet is still going to the shop and seeing it in the flesh if you're able. End of the day, it makes for an even darker shade of maroon so I can't complain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I actually prefer the material the whole shirt was made of last season, I'm really not a collar guy. I can just about hack a collar if it's not too big and the same colour as the shirt, but if it's white/contrasting with the body, I've got no chance. Spent all last year trying to find ways of tucking the collar in to either make it look collarless or at least a granddad collar. Invariably I always just looked like I was dressed for primary school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I P Knightley Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 16 hours ago, Rudy T said: Steady on tho....if I wanted one and so did my two kids who go to the games...That's a shed load of cash on top of match day cost, 3 season tickets and my FoH subs. I honestly think football tops are massively over priced considering they are replaced every season...They used to alternate between home and away so it was only one kit a season and your strip was in date for two seasons. I think there's an argument to go back to that kind of alternating. I'm sure the club can work out (a) how many supporters buy Home and Away each season, (b.) how many buy a new shirt every season and so on to create a model of whether sales revenue would go up if they were to renew the home kit every even year and away kit every odd year. With a third kit and a goalie kit in the background for completists. As well as finding a revenue maximising plan, the club would probably score a PR win by not "forcing" families into kitting out their kids every year at huge expense (which is a stupid argument made by customers but there are stupid customers who make that argument every summer). 15 hours ago, suds66 said: It's maroon, what's not to like!

PhoenixHearts Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 (edited) Hopefully the away kit has a different coloured goalie kit, like West Ham's black one. We only sold the yellow home keeper kit last year, despite having the pinky-orange away and even the nice navy and black one Jon wore in one or two games.
