I was in the shop the other day and they told me they'd be able to collect from the 15th (tomorrow).

Any news on these? Getting near end of December 

 

I got mine a few days ago.

 

Not great, badge is awful, but I keep telling myself it's money for the club.

My all time fav top.  A thing of sheer beauty.

Really? I always thought that collar was an absolute shanner

I thought the same about the collar when that shirt first came out but looking at it now it's beginning to grow on me.

It was a nipple ripper as well, hated when we had embroidered badges at tit level

I been looking at that top as well. Pony. I forgot all about it. Was sitting behind a pillar in the piggery with a family member right behind the pylon. One of the best football games i have experienced, the result will never make it to the top games list as it was a shite ending for Us. Gazza being the one ***** i hate the most for life, the alkie *******.

Not having the Umbro badge on it really takes away from the authenticity. 

 

I wish the club could come to some sort of arrangement that means the kit makers badge is on the future classics.

Annoyed that I never got the first one, was sitting around mid January wondering when in earth it would get delivered, then check my emails and bank account and turns out I seemed to not have ordered one. 

 

Not been a fan of no 2 or 3.

This looks rubbish but the original back in the early 80s was a great top, much darker shade of maroon than in this picture (which is closer to being red, maybe it's just the picture).

Not a fan of the retro tops, without the kit manufacturers logo they look a bit naff. 

 

Got the logo on this one but they somehow managed to get the collar wrong.

The badge is horrible on it as well compared to the originals. they have made a mess of the badges on all the modern replicas so far IMO. 

 

How hard can it be to embroider the right one as opposed to the generic thing they keep using

They had a chance to get it right 3 years back. Closest a retro top has been though

Good enough for Chelsea then Umbro should make it good enough for Heart of Midlothian. 

 

Around 15 years ago they reproduced all their classic Umbro kits from the mid to late 70s including the tracksuit tops, very similar to our designs from the same period. The fans more or less cleared the shop and they had to produce more, it was such a hit.

Aye and I doubt they're as good quality as the original Pony gear was.

Fingers crossed the Bukta white away top with the Maroon band around the chest is on the list for a reproduction. Not been overly impressed with their choices so far.

Still got the original- amazingly still fits. 
 

I can’t get on board with these ‘retro’ kits without the designers logo being on them.

Yeah I'm the same, I can't help feeling it cheapens them

Tell me this is no where near the original Chelsea top of the late 70s... I get the fact the Hearts crest is more complex to replicate but modern technology would be able to combat that, other than that the replica tops produced by Umbro and the club are an absolute disgrace.

Not really been a big fan of any of the other ones so far but seriously tempted by this. Probably my favourite shirt ever.

That is nice. Prefer the original candy stripe though that might be an age thing.

Nice one. 

 

My old dear chucked a big bin bag of my shirts from the 90s out when I moved out. Gutted isn't the word. That would have been worth a small fortune.
