John Findlay Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Question. Why can't the away kit not be the reverse of the home kit? Maybe an age thing, but Pink as a football strip just doesn't work for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zico Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 I quite like a pink strip but that’s honking. I’m not the target market though so who cares what I think. Junior is and he doesn’t like it either but I’m sure plenty kids will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People saying they will be embarrassed watching the team run out wearing it Think I might buy it for the gym Yup fine for the gym or Benidorm, but for me I want to see my team wearing the famous maroon and white, with the away strip basically a reverse of the home one - that’s not boring, that’s tradition. I realise it’s all about selling leisure wear to the younger fans but for me this one is cringeworthy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smithian Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 I like it! Don’t love it, but like it! Not sure the history it ties into, but it’s “different” and I can see many supporters loving it. They’ll need a third kit, won’t they? This top and the home top seem closer than any home/away combo they’ve had for a while. Not much maroon in SPL but I can see a televised match at Motherwell or Aberdeen being hard on some eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As mentioned by others it could have been quite nice if they'd got the shade of pink right. They just seem to over complicate it. Just want a nice simple clean design. All in my opinion obviously.

Nookie Bear Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 22 minutes ago, Sertse said: I'd honestly say last season's kits were 10/10 for me. The home top was simple but looked fantastic. Away top the best in recent memory. Third strip one of my favourite all time Hearts tops. I thought they'd build on it for the 150th anniversary season and it's been so so poor. I hope the third strip saves it. The away strip with the dots? Horrific. The blue and black was lovely but when do we ever get to use that instead of maroon? Same as the black kit, lovely but totally unecessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GorgieFifeLife Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Not something to get upset about but it’s a missed opportunity to release some smart kits with a nod to the popular kits of the past to celebrate 150 years. I think it is another little thing that demonstrates the club are out of touch with what the fans really want. How they come to make these decisions is anyone’s guess but it doesn’t look clearly thought out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
