CJGJ Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 The top brings back memories of our silver strip of the past back in the 80's It's a commemorative top and should be thought of as such. As such will certainly purchase it. PS better collar as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mollo Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Apologies if I'm really behind here. But is there a design in the shirt?

No looking at it again, that third photo, on the sleeve it's very 'reflective'. I assume this shirt is in the store window and the cameraman has snapped it through the glass.

Paul Shark Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 I think it looks terrible personally and I think it's scandalous that Hearts are marketing it as a " thank you" to fans. I have no problem what so ever with Hearts/FoH putting out a 3rd top as a way of making money. But let's be honest about it. If it had been this seasons Away top then yes it would have been a great gesture. I pay my monthly subscription to FoH and am more than happy to do so. But kind of resent being asked for ?45 for another poor quality replica top to thank myself for doing so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But kind of resent being asked for ?45 for another poor quality replica top to thank myself for doing so. I can see where you are coming from. I guess since we are members and future owners it would be nice to get something tangible back at some point, even the FoH badges we had to pay ?1 donation for. But at the same time, these things do cost money, the strips wouldn't have been that cheap and any profit will I assume be going straight back into the club. For what it's worth I bought the top, I wouldn't want to miss out. But like I said I can see your point.

By The Light.. Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Proud moment.

Regular John Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 It just looks really lazy to me, the design is only going to appeal to subscribers and not the general merchandise buyers so it's probably a big opportunity lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like others have said nobody or hardly anybody buys a football top for the quality or style of the garment. Clubs like ours have to maximise their revenue from us the fans because of shit TV/ Sponsorship deals. So paying an extra ?5 for a top is fair enough if the money is going to the club and not the manufacturer. I think most people would agree with that. But is producing a 3rd top and marketing it as a " thank you" really necessary ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the retention rate of contributors sits at 99% as well then I don't really think that keeping people "on side" has been an issue. I actually think the real challenge will be when FoH take over and the hard of thinking think they are running the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
