King Of The Cat Cafe Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 I am not a committed buyer of replica strips - and may well not buy this year's - but I was wondering: anybody built up a collection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BM1874 Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Thers a guy on instagram that posted a photo of his, jamie (forgotten surname) all folded up and has the vast majority of any decent kit going back to about 1989. Personally I have about 11 tops mainly last few years 15-16 Foh top 14-15 home and away 13-14 away 12-13 home 10-11 Home 08-09 (i think) home 04-05 home 98-99 home 87-89 home Have the 96 strongbow sponsored home and the 05/06 hummel home somewhere.at the parents,not sure where but its quite a modest collection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indianajones Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 I have a fair few Hearts strips. Bought two of these when they were out and one is still in the plastic wrapper it came in. Probably my favourite Hearts top. My dad has this but its STILL too big for me to steal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

queensferryjambo Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 I have a some replicas but mainly try to collect player shirts. Definitely own more than 100 but I haven't really counted them in a while. As per usual shameless plug if anyone wants to see lots and lots of Hearts shirts and you do facebook check out the Heart of Midlothian football shirt collectors page - https://www.facebook.com/groups/896156137164364/?ref=br_tf There are literally hundreds of photos of shirts and shorts in the photo albums and we have also started showing off players boots and goalkeepers gloves as well as the shirts.

cruzabic Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 I have every top ever bought from birth a mere 21 years ago and I have 24 hearts tops. A few home and aways over the years that they were both good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was his page that inspired me to start collecting! I've got a fair few, some being older than me (23). I have the Inter Milan style away top quoted in the post, one of my favourites in my collection. Might wear it to the game on Thursday, love wearing the older tops. I also have the yellow Pony shirt with the black and maroon sleeves, which I've been told is quite rare?

RussAsia Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 I reckon I have around 20 shirts beginning in the mid 90's til the current day.. most of them are gathering dust in my mums attic.. The shirts from before mid 90's were probably binned as I grew out of them.. My son is just turned 6 and I think he has 4 or 5 Hearts shirts.. they are all well worn though rather than being something that could be kept for a collection..

The Inter Milan style and the yellow one you mention are 2 i wish I had. I actually found a shop catalogue from the 96 season with order details for the yellow, im kicking myself present day me couldnt tell then me to get my parents to order in an adult size. Saw an Inter Milan one in my size on a "swaps/for sale" site earlier this year but was a bit pulled and.couldnt justify the cost. Maybe one day. Just realised I may also have one of the Miller Homes tops, albeit in my parents attic, god knows what else there is up there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locky Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Not as much as I'd like to have but I've had easily 30-40 over the years. 15/16 was the first season I didn't get a replica shirt since 1999/2000, although I do have the tracksuit top. Got the 01/02 away kit twice and I have both short sleeve and long sleeve versions of the 12/13 home top. Also had a couple of training tops and have the adidas training hoody from 12/13 too. Unfortunately a lot of tops have vanished over the years including my 98 cup final top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zen Jambo Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 I only have the 97//98 ones both home and away now. I purchased a box full of home and away shirts dating back to 80's off a chap on eBay a few tears back. In typical footy fan fashion all the old ones were teenage/v small sizes then as we got towards the early 00's a few XXL sizes were in there. I've sold them all since.

Салатные палочки Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 A couple of duplicates due to signed ones and a Toffs one.Superb collection. I used to have loads. Had the Ghana 1996 Olympic Games home top, Manchester City 1996 away, long sleeved Dortmund 1998 home, Cork City 1995 home (Guinness sponsor), Wales 1996 away, Pompey 1991 away, Strasbourg 1996 home. Loads more. Gave them all (plus two Hearts tops) to my aunt to take home to California for my cousin who was a big "soccer" fan. Two weeks later my mum got a phone call thanking me but asking why I didn't have any Man U tops in amongst it. Prick!

Freaky Dancer Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Has anyone had experience of selling tops to classic football shirts? I've got a rare 1982 Man utd top that I've seen on there for ?250 +, also got a Maradona era Napoli 1986 strip. Loads of Hearts tops from 86 onwards but not looking to sell those.

I sponsored John Millar that season so got this shirt at the end of the season, supposedly he was wearing it when he scored against Hibs but always been too lazy to check if he did score against Hibs that season and was he wearing a long sleeved shirt lol.

It should have been ten Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Pretty sure my old kits are in my Mum's loft somewhere. My son has every Hearts and Scotland home and away kit since he was born in 2002. It's funny looking at all the sizes from then to now and seeing how much he's grown.

Can't bring myself to throw them out though! I got my first kit around 1984/85 when I was 7 or 8 and first started going to watch Hearts. Was lucky enough to get the new kit every season. So like yourself I've got a fair few shirts and just can't part with them. Saying that, I'm 40 now and stopped buying the shirts around 2002 when my son was born and bought them for him instead. Cheaper too haha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanted to get shirts of all the teams hearts had played in Europe and that's still ongoing, still to get Lausanne of Switzerland Paks of Hungary and one which I'll never get FC Lantana. Also most hearts home and always since the 80's plus Scotland, Ajax and Boca Juniors.

John Millar did wear number 10 in season 94/95 but unfortunately when he scored against Hibs he had a short sleeved shirt on. He scored against Hibs the season before but that season didn't have Asics written on the shirt numbers. It is still a fantastic shirt I really like that era of shirt and Millar was a great player for Hearts His goal is just after 4 minutes - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
