When the original came out the neck sizing was slightly larger than usual I thought, nevertheless a fantastic design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My large was like a small under armour top. The fact that it fitted my wife was ridiculous. if anyone wants a large that’s really a size small they can buy it from me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice one mate, thanks, I'm interested in either of the 'Mita Copiers' tops, home or away, not fussed, so will head off to the shop tomorrow. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shooter McGavin Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Anybody know if these replica kits the club are releasing are true to size/bit smaller/bit larger? I see they’ve re-listed 94/95 & 95/96 away tops and I may pull the trigger on one… Any idea on if the badge is heat printed or embroidered on those two as well?

151 Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 Got a phonecall from clubstore today that my Yellow top is ready for collection. Will be picking it up before Killie game and rocking it in the Roseburn lower J. Not everyones favourite but I remember standing on the wall at the Haymarket clock in '98 wearing it when I was 9 years old so thought I'd get it.

Cruyff Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 This could have been an amazing thing but Hearts have ****ed it with cheap shit manufacturers. I'm sure there are factories out there that could have knocked up exact copies of the originals for £15 quid and folk would have been falling over themselves to buy them. You'd be ashamed to see that top at a market stall in Ankara. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That badge reminds me of the ones you used to get on kits c. 2008-09. I believe the 98-99 was the first shirt with the 'new' badge on it, so it is correct, but that's not quite how it was. Also the collar looks a little too big and open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is, we started that season with a 2-1 victory at home to Rangers in Dick Advocaat's first game in charge after they had spent a ton of cash in pre-season, so it all looked so promising. But unfortunately it was pretty much downhill from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
