BRAVEHEART1874 Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 (edited) prefer the white for away but even for a blue one that is horrible ;( Edited July 24, 2020 by BRAVEHEART1874 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cambo Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 I think it is a reasonable effort but a bit samey compared to the likes of Derby County and Bournemouth kits so far. Seems like we have compared less well to Luton Town who have 3 cracking kits after moving to Umbro for the forthcoming season. https://www.footyheadlines.com/2020/07/no-more-puma-umbro-luton-town-20-21.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really can't win with football supporters I see what he means though, with certain kits that type of design does work. Eg the 2006-07 Pinilla at Pittodrie, or the 15-16 that had the maroon stripes down the sleeves and socks. I actually don’t agree that this years kit was a good chance to do that type of design though, you need good amount of maroon flashes on the white shirts. Otherwise it sometimes just looks a white t shirt with hearts badge glued on. This years home kit has almost no white on it 2006-07 is the blueprint, the pinnacle of white Hearts away shirts imho !

Newton51 Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Maybe in future they could have a poll with the foundation of hearts members Can see a lot of kids loving the strip. Maybe the top looks better as part of the whole strip rather than on its own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Canada Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Does the club consult any fan groups on potential kit designs? It would certainly make sense to in order to avoid bringing one out that the majority won't buy. The club needs all the money it can get right now and the third kit from last season is by far the best. Most people will already have it though.

The main thing is they have our colours, and our badge on them, and our team will be wearing them next season. That makes them miles better than any one else's shirts.

PapaShango Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Bit like a training top for my liking, however it does look better when matched with the shorts and socks. I'm not a fan of colourful away tops, would prefer a white away with maroon shorts each season with a different 3rd kit if really needed.

I know nothing about how the contracts are agreed but it seems like we are in the bracket of clubs who get a certain amount of alterations or detailing to make the kits seem unique such as the glorious Hearts writing or the gold trim etc. To get a totally bespoke design you need to be one of the brands A list clubs. The ones that spring to mind are Bayern who usually have really stylish kits and Chelsea who usually have honking kits. Everyone else, smaller EPL clubs included don't get that much attention in the design stakes. Overall I think we do well for a club of our size in our less celebrated league. Most teams in our league have last seasons template kits with a badge stitched on and tinpot sponsors plastered all over them. Add Man City to that list, also honking kits!

Although is there not a study that says that the brighter the keeper kit, the more saves they make? Something to do with catching the striker's eye so they subconsciously aim for the keeper.
