Homme Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Are there 8000 members above the points threshold to have their name on the shirt? Probably not although the vast majority of the 8k will be there i'd imagine having bought into FOH at the start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest C00l K1d Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 A maroon shirt with tiny white writing could look pretty smart. I'll buy it since I'll be on it but I'll most likely never wear it. I wonder if it will be long sleeved? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pumphyjambo Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Size 10 font for the names. Was told by the FOH when I nipped in to see them on Saturday there. Also told to guess again when mentioned New Balance/Warrior making the new strips. Did give a big smile when I mentioned Puma though.

crichiejambos Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Is it the second strip as in the away shirt, or a third strip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also told to guess again when mentioned New Balance/Warrior making the new strips. Did give a big smile when I mentioned Puma though. Don't get all the secrecy tbh I would guess that there is some form of non disclosure. Adidas are the current strip manufacturer for this season, it does not look too good for them, and indeed sales if the club is advertising an alternative supplier. In this season it will be less of an issue, as most of the stock flew off the shelves, but deals would have been struck with potentially still stock to shift.

Disco Dave Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 The names are definitely embroidered and are definitely maroon in colour. No chance will they be stitched on. It will be part of the fabric of the shirt. Would be a proper jaggy jersey, if they embroidered them on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Independence Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Probably. I like how people already want it without knowing what it looks like but each to their own. Probably because they are passionate about their club , proud of what we have achieved and confident it will be , at the very least, good quality. Still everyone to their own!!

Beave1874 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Don't tend to buy strips for me but certainly for my wee lad...Will be buying this one for myself...vain I know, but my name on an official Hearts top...No brainer and I hope the club makes a decent profit on these tops.

As i said, i'll no doubt buy it, never wear it but it'll be good to pull out and show folk years down the line. A souvenir for the survival of hearts if you wish.

Francis Albert Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Take it that it's more a jesture by the club more than anything! It won't get used a lot?It will get an occasional run out to justify it being sold as an official strip. Hopefully it will make the club money and make a lot of fans happy. I don't see anything wrong with that. Though personally I'd rather just give the ?40 or whatever it costs to the club, which will give it more money.

If it comes across like that, that is not the intention. If I was interested in the concept (I'm not) but the top itself looked as horrendous as the vermin away top, for example, then I wouldn't shell out for it. That's all.

I tend to buy Hearts shirts and the wear them just 3 or 4 times on holiday in sunnier climes. I view it as just another way to support the club.

It's pretty much what he does on every thread. Most of them state he has no interest but has enough of an interest to let everyone know.

It's based on how many points you have which is based on how much you've contributed. Log in to the FoH website and you'll find out how many you have. If you've been pledging since the start you'll be over the limit with plenty to spare I reckon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
