I think I planned on wearing it to the cup final if we got there...before the season went tits up of course. Yes, still my favourite top of all time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gorgie Boot boy Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 These two tops. If can bring them together, would make a real classic Hearts top.Long and short sleeved with badge. Although my first Hearts top was a short sleeved version of the one Donald is wearing.Can't find it on here though. Top was lost one hot summer a long time ago as a goal post up Meggetland Quote Link to post Share on other sites

number-16 Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Was just in the shop and saw the away goalkeeper top. Same design as the home goalkeeper top but in orange. I thought it looked pretty decent. It was available with long and short sleeves but not in adult sizes annoyingly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dumpson Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 There’s a few interesting HMFC items on a well known auction site (not sure if it’s against forum rules to promote ?), including a 2014-15 shirt and a yellow pony replica ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think I prefer the remake collar but appreciate for those interested due to nostalgia it must be a lazy oversight not to replicate it properly! I love it, and have worn it alot since it arrived... don't think my girlfriend does though 😂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Was going to get a Bologna top but **** paying £80 for it I've bought plenty in the past, mainly because I just use them for playing football, and never seen the point of spending £70+ for something that might get ripped, stained or generally wrecked. There is a site called SoccerLord which I've used a few years back, which go for £20 to £30. The quality is spot on, the only issues I've had is the transfers starting to fall off after a couple of years, but a quick blast with a tea-towel and an iron usually sorts them out. The sizes can be a bit on the smaller side, a Large fits a bit more like a Medium/Large, but it entirely depends. Maybe buy one as a test, opting for a larger size and seeing what happens?

I second this. I usually cough up for real kits of teams I support but I use soccerlord if I see any national teams with nice new kits. Quality is really good. Best fakes I've bought. They don't have Bologna on there though, not yet. They usually just have the predictable big clubs, but I did notice recently that they have fake Hearts and Partick kits which I found hilarious. They must be getting inundated with requests after the global spotlight and subsequent wave of sympathy for the injustice faced by these scrappy, defiant clubs... only reason I can think.

The fabric was the proper thick stuff, the attention to detail on the patterns was spot on, and everything was perfect, using the correct unique lettersets, right down to the wee rubber transfer on the neck that said USA. I've probably bought 15 or more shirts from them over the years, and never had any major issues, other than the letters coming away from the shirt after a good few washes.

The way to tell is in the badge. Even the amazing fakes usually have slightly "looser" embroidery or stitching. I only notice these things because I work in branding though. Most people probably wouldn't be able to spot a fake unless it was right next to the genuine article. We've come a long way from two-stripe Adidas kits on market stalls.

My mates and I used to make a point of trying to have obscure shirts for fives and PE at school. The two that I remember straight away were a Rochdale away shirt and a Santos of Brazil top both of which were about a fiver each. Lots of European and English lower league team stuff. Thinking back now I wonder where the hell they got them and why they thought they could sell them in Leith. Apart from to weirdos like me and my mates. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
