We seem to alternative between white and blue for our away kits most seasons. The current season is an off white with blue, so I reckon we'll have a mostly light blue away shirt, and (bold, I know!) a maroon home shirt. Probably.

However, if you could do something like West Ham's away from the 1960's, like a Sampdoria top, that would be class! Very nice ......with a torino style home top ? a deep maroon type maroon shorts black and maroon topped socks with hearts crest on them ?

That's good news 👍 I do quite like that particular example from the teamwear line though and would be happy with that if there was a bit of a pattern through the material. Hopefully not long to wait now anyway - usually they reveal them around the start / middle of June, and given the current situation and maybe needing some money they might do it early this year...

Batistuta87 Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Would have a semi if we get a kit with white Umbro piping down the sleeves like we had in the 70s: The reverse of this as an away kit would be equally semi-inducing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pop up saying you can pre-order it again take it they’re using it for next season as well don’t mind buying a new home shirt every season if they turn the away or 3rd kits over every second. Ordered the 3rd kit last week and it was delivered today. Looks braw and fits really well. Well chuffed with it. Thought I also saw that they confirmed it as the 3rd kit for next season (if that goes ahead). Money well spent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mollo Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Goes against modern tradition but in respect of the 1914 team I’d have black socks back as a permanent choice at home.

Its hoped that this will be the catalyst for the expansion of the clubs retail empire with FIVE new stores in the pipeline, in addition to pop up stores appearing around the Ibrox Stadium footprint.

The Rangers one was possibly worse because of its location on George Street, and the design of the building so it’s window protruded out like a stage. It was when they had that stinking orange away too as well. You’d be walking down this beautiful Georgian street with all these nice bars and designer shops and all of a sudden there’s this stinking great orange and blue carbuncle standing out like a sore thumb. The Celtic one was chavvy as **** too, but at least it was on a side street. The windows of the Celtic one were always broken too, which I took a bit too much smug delight in.

Batistuta87 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 (edited) We have several ways of marketing our merchandise to tourists so I'm honestly really surprised that we don't have a pop-up during the Fringe or a stall during the Xmas Market selling strips, t-shirts, mugs, badges, all that sort of thing. Those Americans with "Scottish roots" visiting Edinburgh would lap it up if we used our connection to the "Old Castle Rock" and to the Heart of Midlothian on the Royal Mile and that sort of stuff. They would love to go home to their mates and show off their new sports team over in Scotland! Even everyday tourists who like football might be tempted to pick up a strip or something if there was a more central outlet. I know whenever I go to a new city I look out for their local football team's merch and try to take something home for my wee lad - whether it be a keyring, a cup/mug, a strip, whatever. I know our agreements with kit manufacturers often mean no selling in any other shops though so something to be considered probably. But aye, would love to see a Hearts shop during the Festival / Xmas Market. Edited May 18, 2020 by Batistuta87 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
