tian447 Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 It was ?124 including delivery, well worth it, oh and also included the league badge on the sleeve Just think it's mental to spend that on a kids shirt, which he'll probably have grown out of in 6 months time!

Mr Sifter Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 I bought a 2006 Hummel home Shirt in JJB up at the Fort once. I've also seen a 2009 Away shirt in Sports Direct once, but no idea how either of those things happened. Aye, we've definately done it in the past...and I hope we do it in the future. It's all about gettin the badge out there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tian447 Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Aye, we've definately done it in the past...and I hope we do it in the future. It's all about gettin the badge out there! It annoys the hell out of me that clubs don't try to promote themselves more. In Dundee, there is a Celtic shop next to the bus station. A ****ing Celtic shop. I seethe every time I go past it, because apart from up at the stadiums, there is nothing for the 2 Dundee Clubs. Do they just not care? I'm sure they could quite easily rent out a store in the Overgate or something to sell merchandise - they could even have a combined shop, with United stuff on one side, and Dundee stuff on the other. Hearts (and other teams) should have their tops sold around Scotland, and stop the only 2 available being the Arse Cheeks of Glasgow. Get a deal signed with JD Sports or something - wouldn't be that hard, surely - and get our stuff out there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it was no different back in my day in early 90's - it makes me shiver At least this lad got a shirt, shorts and socks - 3 in 1 really Each to their own obviously, but then again I can't fathom how some folk spend ?8 on 20 fags.

In years gone by I purchased the "Pony" shirt in Aberdeen and various others in Greaves sport in Glasgow. That does not happen now sadly I do understand the cost implication for Hearts, but it means that waverers or neutrals do not stumble across out "stuff" in stores. Its all OF shirts, Barca, real, Chelski,Arsenal and so on. I'm sure I would buy more stuff if I could be exposed to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure I would buy more stuff if I could be exposed to it Totally agree with this, I got my first shirt after seeing it hanging in the window in a sports shop in Perth (I think). I used to love going round sports shops as a kid and seeing all the different strips, even took a vague interest in some teams - you know if you liked the colours or the badge, it's part of being a kiddie. I get there's no so many shops like that now save for the JD's and the Sports Directs - but we don't have any market share outside folk already coming to the stadium.

Nookie Bear Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 I bet it's not just me that always checks out the local sports shop when I am abroad to see what the local shirts are like. How many tourists visit Edinburgh each year? How many love football? And yet you cannot buy a shirt, unless you go to Gorgie which, no offence, is somewhat off the tourist trail. The only other place I see the same thing is in Majorca, where it is all Barca/Madrid and not a Real Majorca strip to be seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When on leave once in the eaely nineties i fancied buying a hearts top so went into Olympus sports on Princes street.. Dishusted to see there was a whole window display for OF tops then as you walked in you had to go nearly half way up the shop to even get to scotland tops nevermind hearts ir hibs. Olympus was a flagship aports store in prime tourist location and the two local teams barely got a look in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BM1874 Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Also Wouldnt want any deal signed with JD We would end up with carbrini.

Celtic and Rangers shirts, as well as the Scotland ones are sold there, but they don't make any of them. Also, are the Bournemouth kits made by Carbrini? They all look pretty decent! Football Nation would be a good start, but they're quite small and too far out the way for most tourists Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh buddy I cant see passed the kit maker! I havent seen the tops you mention...they may well be braw but the kit maker you mention to me reminds me of the stuff that would be in the minky bin at school at PE! Also the Hubs had them when they last got relegated before their most recent episode, when we won the cup in 98 and it was really cheap tinky stuff then, historically also, so on all that I wouldnt touch them personally...
