Hectormasson Posted May 22 2 hours ago, Fraggle said: Like that, the gold (the pics make it look lighter) on the sleeves works really well imo. Breaks up the plain maroon and is obviously taken from the badge which ties in nicely. Suspect this will sell well. Not sure what people expect tbh, when every year they say they want the home top to be nice and simple. Not a lot for Umbro and Hearts to work with. Not read any further than the page with the first pic of the top, but going by the tag line "all in maroon" I take it we are going with maroon shorts and socks? Love all maroon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flow State Posted May 22 The fact its maroon saves this for me. So basic. Never hate home kits, we are lucky to play in such a glorious colour. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rudi5kaceldream1ng Posted May 22 Liking the shorts-looks like the pony era kit which is always a good thing. Bring back strongbow next!👊🏼 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SectionDJambo Posted May 22 3 hours ago, Alan_R said: but it also points out that there are many variations of a maroon kit. Contrary to your first comment. Whether someone likes them or not is a matter of opinion. True I just think back to some of the horrific, non Hearts, strips that plagued us in the 80s. Simple is good for me, but everyone has their own preference. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Debut 4 Posted May 22 Mmm, took a couple of minutes catching up with the thread for it to eventually get D4s pass marks. 😁 At first I thought the collar looked a bit wide/gaping but I think it’ll be reasonably neat around the neck after scrutinising it. All in all I think it may be one of those tops that look better in the collective with the shorts and socks. Hoping for gold shorts and maroon/gold hooped socks and white turnovers.

PhoenixHearts Posted May 22 Quite like it. Ordered it. And despite the woeful season, I loved the last kit so I ordered another in the sale a size down from the one I bought last summer 😁😁😁 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheGoodLord Posted May 22 Now I’m no Gok Wan but my fashion advice is this. If for example you’re buying a shirt and there’s one you’re immediately drawn to and one you’ve been humming and hawing over for ages always go for the latter. Trust me it’s the right choice. This new kit has a bit of the latter about it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even some of the Nike and Adidas efforts can be a bit out there. And when you look at the Macron, Joma or New Balance that are around, I would rather play it safe with Umbro's efforts.

NlGHTMARE Posted May 23 Whilst we’re on the subject of kit design, which are your top 5 all time hearts shirts? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tian447 Posted May 23 8 minutes ago, NlGHTMARE said: Whilst we’re on the subject of kit design, which are your top 5 all time hearts shirts? Hard question and a very subjective one! I'd have to say (and it's probably reflective of my age that they're all within the past 15 years) : 1) 2016/17 - Home Shirt (plain maroon, round neck, Puma) (try and look happier in first place, Alim!) 2) 2017/18 - Away Shirt (blue, with Heart of Midlothian cobblestone pattern). 3) 2014/15 - Home Shirt (Championship shirt) 4) 2013/14 - Away Shirt (white Adidas with maroon 3 stripes) 5) 2005/06 - Home Shirt (Iconic Hummel Cup Winning Shirt) The 2016/17 Home shirt is probably the all time best Hearts shirt we could ask for. A plain dark maroon colour, plain white sponsor, and hardly any detailing or sponsor patterns. An absolute work of art, with a collar that doesn't stand out. The 2017/18 Away Shirt is what we should have in an away kit. Mental colour, great design unique to Hearts. None of this template pish. I had a hard time splitting first and second place, but thought a Home shirt should take the honours. I absolutely adored the away kit this season although I can see why some people wouldn't like the highlighter blue effort The 2014/15 Home Shirt was a one off. It'll never be like that again and it was absolutely amazing. It's a top I will keep in my collection forever. Superb shirt. The 2013/14 Away Shirt was beautiful despite the Wonga logo. I don't really like white kits, but I bought 3 of these. I loved the navy blue and maroon detailing, I loved the fact that the colours were all correct, and for once the Wonga logo had been colour matched to the colour of the shirt. Every other Wonga logo stood out like a sore thumb, but this one was almost...nice? Chronically underrated, and if it had been any other sponsor, it would have been a classic. The 2005/06 Kit was plain, simple and a sign of a great season. I loved the Hummel kits, it's just a shame that they have deteriorated so badly (the chevrons and sponsor material was crap).
