busby1985 Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Both tops are gash. Away top could be the worst away kit since the blue and white stripe number back in 2010 or something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zico Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 It’s not like H1B5 bad as the colour’s fine, it just looks like a training top. Lazy from Umbro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did that with the home kit as well, in the flesh it's a smart kit. This, I like it very much, it's all about opinions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hungry hippo Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 First top in a while that I really haven't liked. Will probably look decent on the team but definitely won't be buying it. The massive similarities with the goalie top don't help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Costanza Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Crap. Another year and my wish for a Peru style top is criminally ignored. I'm assuming that having a bespoke top designed and chosen by the fans is not possible, as from a marketing point of view, you would likely get the most sales out of it?

kila Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 It is a bit meh. Not a fan of the neon colours of football strips. Arty farty sleeves too. Nice maroon shorts though. But at least the 'Save the Children' is all white rather than with the red logo that looked out of place on previous away strips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fabienleclerq Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 It's rank, we had the colour scheme to go back to the inter one and it would've been a huge seller. Anyone know how we decide on kits? Does someone at the club have major input or do we get shown xyz from the supplier to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah for some reason we as a fan base are very critical of these things. I find fans of other teams to default to a positive position, for example when Hibs released that purple and green monstrosity last year, it was roundly celebrated. They are even talking up the Dougary Scott video as being clever marketing. We release a decent enough but not outstanding away kit and everyone is outraged. I'm sure Man City fans would take that kit in an instant rather than the stuff they have had to suffer in recent seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homme Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Looks awful on the hanger. The other pic is a bit more flattering. Just meh for me. Kids will like it though. Kits are changing again.

Looks much better here than in the reveal photos. I suppose it's fine. I do like it. But It's just a little disappointing when you consider the options we have and what supporters are crying out for season after season.

I'd argue these designs are 'retro' just paying homage to a different era. If you look at street fashion in general, pretty much everything has the goddy colours and graphic textures of the early 90s running through it.

PhoenixHearts Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 (edited) Want to buy a Gordon kit but wasn't feeling the blue. Been looking around for potential away goalkeeper kits by Umbro. Safe to say the green is out of the question, I don't really want us "enabling" anyone by selling an orange kit, and the yellow is boring. Hoping they do a black option. Also wish we sold short sleeve GK kits. Edited July 24, 2020 by PhoenixHearts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tian447 Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 It's not totally awful. I actually quite like it, and will definitely be ordering all 3 shirts this season. The white detailing should have been black, but that's just the way it goes. It will grow on us, especially if we keep winning games in it. You'd also be better off buying an away kit, rather than going to away matches! Maybe for next seasons kits, we can collectively make a bit of noise about the Inter Milan style shirts or even the Silver away shirts. Have some sort of petition that can be sent to the club so they understand what the fans actually want and they can then put a proposal out to Umbro. I refuse to believe there is little discussion about these things, and Umbro just say "that's what you're getting this year". I noticed on the HMFC Facebook page, a mockup from here was posted for the Inter style shirt and it's been given a lot of attention. Hopefully someone at the club sees it too, and can make a suggestion for next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzabic Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Grown men moaning over this and then saying think about the marketing side? From a marketing side...we've never had a top like that so it might appeal to people who don't usually buy the standard maroon or white.

LarrysRightFoot Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 it’s not the worst ever but we have had some great away tops In the past they could have used as a template. Also some of the concept designs are far better. Hopefully they are saving an ‘Inter style’ kit for the next FOH 3rd strip from 2021/22.

Fraggle Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Not a fan, looks like a mishmash thrown together because someone at Umbro forgot about the away top until their counterpart at Hearts asked them how it was coming. Either way both sides should be getting their arse felt for that crap. Umbro seem to have gone for alot of light blue away tops, maybe an excess of that colour at the sweatshops in India!? Shame really as if there was an away top that was crying out for a reverse of the home version it was this one. Think a white top with maroon and gold trim would have looked the biz.
