HamishMcGonagall Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Good. If only because Scott Wilson saying "Hearts main sponsors this season are Strongbow, the UK's number one cider..." is one of the odd standout memories of going to games when I was younger.

I'd say because away kits represent an opportunity to do something different. For supporters of a certain age that original kit is remembered fondly and it would be nice to see a throwback with the sponsor of the time. We've had an Ajax inspired kit for the same reasons and I don't believe we have any ties to them? The candy stripe away kit from the period was also a favourite of mine.

Ribble Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 While the club may be open to a more commercial sponsor, i'm not sure where booze or a betting company for example fit's with AB's stance on making us a family club. I'd love to have strongbow back as a sponsor, just can't see AB going for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beast Boy Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Whether this is happening or not, what it does show, is that she has reversed the cheap sponsorship rut we were in. By holding out for the right offer, we are no longer just giving our strips away as advertising boards for shite brands with peanuts in return.
