The pic in question I still think you could say it looks like scales. It could look like cobbles as well but it’s a push to say that’s what it is. If this our retort to Hibs map of the city last year abs whatever their slogan was it’s a ducking awful one. It looks like cobbles because it is the same pattern . No animal on the planet has scales that look like that , it is not a natural pattern for skin on any animal Thinking it looks shit is fine and all about taste . I like it my self . It looks nothing like a leopard or a reptile though , that is just patently untrue Edited June 24, 2023 by Sooks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beautiful strip with the maroon shorts (but nothing special when worn with white shorts at the Tennents Sixes). Could have been a classic but those two Saturdays in 1986 killed any prospect of that.

The marketing tag "Our Streets" and what is clearly a cobble pattern on the sleeves suggests it's about the cobbled streets of Edinburgh belonging to us.

Never associated it with the castle at all personally. I don't really know, bud; people that make crests are probably the same people that make coats of arms; they take related imagery and produce the design using that There's nothing on wiki about it even though one of my repliers earlier was clearly going by the information there Someone on here is bound to have looked into the Hearts badge history in detail; then there's the Mosaic on the High Street too; not the exact same thing and I prefer to think of our name coming from the dance hall, not the link to the tollbooth ETA: Maybe the people involved in designing the top will disclose their inspiration for the bricks 🙂 - Edited June 25, 2023 by Ricardo Quaresma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can literally see the bricks round the edges and in the middle. Edinburgh has a huge association with cobbled streets, "Our streets" is the tagline, our badge is literally a tidied up, modern interpretation of the cobbled mosaic which is on a cobbled street and the pattern on the shirt is clearly cobbles.
