It makes sense to fire one on, and head to the game to support your team. It's only a multi billion pound industry though, so we must be the weird ones right enough.

The shorts and socks are also the team colours so why not wear them? You could get customised boots to wear. Lets be honest if you go to pictures to see Star Wars and next to you is a big fat guy munching on pies and wearing a copy of Princess Leia's Golden bikini, whilst dribbling grease and bovril down his cleavage, you're going to think 'thats a bit odd'. But as Star Wars memorabillia is a multi billion pound industry I guess thats normal. Edited June 9, 2018 by been here before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

savage Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 I only ever wear a top on European adventures but certainly don't have a problem with any grown man that does.

Maroon Sailor Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 11. Hearts 1972 - 1973 HIT: It takes a lot to break with tradition. Other than a hooped shirt for away games in the late 20s, and one with white sleeves for floodlit matches from 1957 to ‘59, Heart of Midlothian had struck to the tried and tested (and loved) maroon jerseys. It was going to take something special to break that love affair, and this was it. Now, while a great many Jambos go all misty-eyed when recalling this kit today (and hence why it features so high in this list), it took a bit of getting used to at the time. “Was it not too Hibsy?” was a question asked. The answer was no, more Ajaxy! The Hearts even went as far as copying the style of socks Ajax wore, with the coloured tops. And what we had was a classic kit. Hearts didn’t win anything of significance wearing it, only the hearts of their fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazio Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 So stepping away from the bickering for a minute if you round up all the recent rumours there will be a new strip announced on Sunday that will go on sale to the public on Thursday? There are loads of them at Tynecastle waiting to go on sale and they were doing photos in a dressing room this week? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shedro Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 I'd like to see more white in the home kit just for a change and as King Willie Bauld shows it's been done before with the kits (I know they're not the home kits) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wear mine to the gym, to 5's, and I'll also wear one to the game at the weekends. I am neither a fat slob, nor have I ever had a King Rib Supper in my life. It's an odd view to take that everyone who wears a football top "has a want about them" whatever the **** that means. I'll happily spend £200 in the club shop, and then wear that stuff wherever the **** I like. I might start wearing them more knowing that it reduces other people to foaming piles of seethe, coming up with daft scenarios to make themselves feel superior. I must admit to having a pair of Adidas Sambas though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
