Craig Gordons Gloves Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 . Black boots with home strip. Away strip wear multi colour if it makes you feel good. i could live with that. As an aside - how does it work with boot deals for players? I know that the top players get endorsement deals etc - but what about at clubs like us, i'm pretty sure that Nike and Adidas etc don't target players in our league so do the players decide what boots they want to wear and the club pays for them or how does it work?

When I played (not for Hearts) you could get a pair of new balance for free or the club gave you ?30 towards your own. Also any player wearing black boots these days is decidedly average and unexciting. I know Ian Blacks dad used to force the youth teams to wear black boots. Finally I quite like the blue and pink puma boots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kylelauren01 Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 I believe Nike and Adidas chuck some of their products Hearts way as freebies to try and get their products on show. The Academy gives the youngsters access to Adidas Prohub which is a site selling discounted Adidas boots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tasavallan Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 One of the first things that Levein and Neilson should have done is mandated that all players wear black boots. The only other color allowed should be white - the logo of the manufacturer and their 'symbol'. Colored boots are an affront to society. My lad turned up at his first day of training at McDiarmid Park with nice new shiny red Nike mercurial boots. He was pulled aside by the coach and told in no uncertain terms (with a few expletives added) that he was not to come back to training until he'd bought a pair of black boots. "We only wear black bits here, son" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ribble Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 My lad turned up at his first day of training at McDiarmid Park with nice new shiny red Nike mercurial boots.

"We only wear black bits here, son" Outwith Puma Kings, Adidas World Cups and some of the 'design your own' boots it's actually really quite difficult to find a pair of black boots these days, I needed a pair for a few games at the tail end of last season and eventually had to compromise and get a pair that only had a coloured heel with the majority being black!

Gav M Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 This business about players requesting a particular number is gash - just perpetuates an over inflated ego. Same thing about having some sort of nickname on the shirt. "Eh boss, can I be No64 and known as courgette?" "Away and shite! It's Smith and you're 14. Now **** off back to training" As for shitey coloured boots !! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD Shirley if your number is 64 you have to get Nintendo as your name?
