droid Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 (edited) Of the 3 English Umbro 2023/2024 new kits I’ve seen. The template seems to be a retro v neck collar with the clubs badge or similar repeated as an in-print(think admiral 1991-1992?).

That is very close to my favourite Fila Dr Martens shirt - though it has two blue lines at the collar instead of the one shown here and the blue on the arms does not go up to the collar as it does here. I'd definitely go for a Hearts version of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their non football kit stuff is among the best quality around. They are most definitely not shit. £200 for a hoodie 🤦♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taffin Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 I'm not mad keen on Umbro, but the list of worse is long. The odds of getting something better is slim, the odds of much worse is high.

If we've got a special shirt coming out this season I would just much prefer if it was something a bit more prestigious and wirh Umbro we have a bit of a history with them, they should "get" us, etc. That said the Euro training tops we released this season are appallingly bad quality. We'll see I guess. Joma etc are fine for boys clubs and stuff but just don't want it for Hearts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are very nice kits regardless of the number of stripes 👍 Oddly, I was in a wee shop in Downpatrick and they would only sell the 3 stripe version if you could prove you lived in the Republic of Ireland. I imagine there's some auditing that goes on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin_T Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 I do prefer when we have a decent manufacturer for the kits, but then again, one of our best season's that I've seen was 97/98 when we were wearing kits made by Olympic Sportswear.

John Rambo Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 15 hours ago, been here before said: No worse, and in many ways better, than Wonga. The only top I never bought my laddies. Alright they might have helped us a bit in the end but what a ****in beamer to have it on our tops. I managed to source that 2011-2012 strip, THE Cup final strip, without the wonga logo. Think I got it from Ireland and it was a genuine Umbro top. There was a story as to how/why this chap had shirts without the logo on but I did not ask too many questions....

Pans Jambo Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 (edited) So a photo of a scabby box with Joma tape on it is the reason we think we have moved our kit supplier? Could it just be that Joma covets our business and has sent in sales samples for consideration? Most kit manufacturers outside Nike/Adidas likely do this every year. Seems a bit like 2 + 2 = 9 here.

The sleeves are printed as you describe with the GAA logo, but the badge and sponsor on the shirt was heat pressed flock material. But it is from 1998 so no idea if the new ones are just printed. More recently, I have a Bohemians shirt and it is as you describe. Design, sponsor, badge all printed onto the shirt. Material is decent though.
