Batistuta87 Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Hi lads, I've had a go at designing some t-shirts inspired by some iconic Hearts kits. Wee preview below: There are 13 designs in total, and most of them come in black/white/grey/maroon (depending on the design...). I've tried to keep the pricing as low as possible so its worth my time doing it, whilst also not ripping folk off but I suppose the more orders I get, the more I can probably lower the price. The tshirts are decent quality and are not your Gildan / Fruit Of The Loom generic prints, they're made by a company called Bella Canvas and I've worn their t-shirts for many years. For anyone looking to order, my website is below: https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/CapeWrathTees?ref=l2-about-shopname Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sertse Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Popped in the Castore store earlier and I'm fully onboard getting them to make our strips next season. The quality is unreal. My Mrs commented on how well made everything is and how good the material is, I totally agree. Guy working there said they have new suppliers since the dramas a few years ago. They've put a very good effort into the rangers tops this season and they all seem very happy, Umbro for us has been very hit or miss. Extremely underwhelming this season so far. I'm not getting commission for this post either btw. Next time you see Castore stuff have a really close look at it. Their stuff in maroon looks great as well.

People thought the home strip would be released before father's day but it wasn't. I heard on a hearts podcast the strip was actually decided on last year in November so they could have released it whenever they wanted. Teams down south sometimes play the last game of the season in kit they'll be in the following season to drum up sales, if we'd genuinely decided it so far back I see no reason we didn't do this. It's utterly bizarre how they time it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's utterly bizarre how they time it all. I genuinely think the club need to hire a modern (i.e. young) "Head of Social Media and Fan Interaction" for these kind of things. We seem stuck in the dark ages when it comes to making announcements for things, be it tickets, events, or kit launches. We still seem to be stuck with the old "stick a link on Facebook and/or Twitter about a week before it happens" which is mental considering the number of people who have abandoned these platforms. Twitter especially can't easily be accessed unless you have an account, so how are people that don't use these platforms meant to engage? The Web has very, very much moved on from setting a website as your homepage and checking it every day, which we seem to fail to realise. It might even be worth them having a thread on here (ffs ) where they can put up a post for things they're planning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have the likes of Bournemouth, Luton, Brentford, Burnley, Derby, Ipswich, Forest Green Rovers, Wimbledon and Carlisle.

But as Man City started getting bigger and better they went to Puma, one of the big 3. That's what I quite like about Umbro. They don't seem dead set on totally dominating the market with huge clubs like Nike, Adidas and Puma do. They're quite content having a manageable sized stable of clubs working with medium and smaller teams and delivering a good product. (in most cases). We're seeing something with Castore now. They're shooting too high, too far, too soon trying to hoover up clubs and dominate the european market but as a result we're left with akes of half arsed mediocre to poor kit designs. I have mg own thoughts on their quality, though some people assure me it's top notch. The problem is I'm not sure the quality matters when your designs are rotten.

Palermo and Eibar. Hibs new home does look particularly flimsy and cheap though. Looks like the exact same material used on some of Joma's basketball teamwear tops I've used before. The kind of stuff that ladders and pulls if you forgot to trim your nails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
