Blended in more and it would be class. Or even a blended in outline of the castle

Would be like the 98 OS top. 

 

In other news, Kappa are shite.

We had a club store in the St James' Centre (looking out towards Multrees Walk). I'm sure there was a dispute with the rental as Vlad had stopped paying it. 

 

 

Yeah, because we were losing money, old Vlad didnt feel he should pay if he's losing money.

We had to pay out for rent, rates, wages, taxes and utilities on a city centre unit. That means every day they needed decent business just to break even, and they weren't getting that.

 

We have a store available and online facilities, people can get what they want from us. It just doesn't make financial sense for a club of our size to have a city centre shop. I worked in Rembrandtplein in Amsterdam for a few years, I watched with inerest as they put together the Ajax shop over the road, they spent ages doing it. About 2 years it lasted IIRC, maybe less. Even the Ajaxes of the world who get decent levels of football tourism realise it's not worth the expense.

A permanent shop isn't required but someone with a bit of marketing know-how could probably get a temporary stall on Princes Street on match days selling merchandise and advertising the game to tourists and casual fans. A stall at the Christmas Market might work as well, we might not have a massive global appeal but if you were a tourist at Christmas or Hogmanay and were looking for gifts to take home to your football loving children etc. merchandise with a distinctive foreign club crest on it is something people would probably buy. I've certainly done that when abroad.

Online shopping means these sort of outlets are generally pointless nowadays. The only one that would make any money, is ironically the one that would cost the most rates; the airport.

The only external Hearts shop I'd like to see is in Edinburgh Airport a fantastic opportunity for passing trade, however it's rumoured that rental fees far outweigh potential profits.

We used to have a spot in I think Burtons on Princes Street. I remember being in on the day of a Scotland v Wales rugby international and all the Welsh were mad for the Hearts stuff, buying up hats, scarves and tops. We even had a Hearts rugby top at the time.

I actually still have the Hearts rugby style top from Burtons. Occasionally it gets an outing to a match in winter on account of it's long sleeves.

I had mine a few stone ago though :D

Do we need to open Hearts-only retail outlets?

 

Whats wrong with just having our shirts available in places like Sports Direct?

When did we stop doing this, out of interest?

 

I vaguely remember seeing Hearts stuff in the old JJB Sports up at the Fort, would have been 2005/06 season.

Yes, maroon and white. It's faded a bit now and the collar has a pinkish tinge where the dye has run after so many washings, but it's still in good nick and still fits I'm pleased to say. Could be that I bought a size larger than I needed at the time though. 😄

Top left and bottom left are cracking. Love the all maroon home top - would be cracking with just plain shorts and socks, no stripes or anything like that.

The all maroon looks really classy. Would take the white with maroon and navy stripes as well.

Why on earth would we want to give all the retail profit margin from our shirt sales to Mike Ashley when you can buy direct from the club with ease?

Gorgie Rd has zero passing trade for tourists and visitors.

All the mock ups are sweet, but that top one is just utter sexy filth

💦💦💦💦💦

A throw back to my favourite top as a kid .

 

The second one is good too, going back to our roots with that. Any chance you could re-mock it with just one dark blue hoop under the sponsor, the same size as the maroon one (keeping the maroon one as well).

Like that, a wee bit different but still familiar!! 

 

One last request, on that top one, could you do a light grey in between the two maroon bands

There used to be loads of mockups with things like that :lol: Probably lost, amongst the classics.

 

Not Pot Noodle, I did find this from an old thread as well:

Topsport....Ah the memories.  I remember the bloke that had it. Really friendly guy, big Hearts fan as you’d expect.  I used to get my boots from there as well as my Hearts pin badges. 
 

It was very rare for shops in the 80s but I’m sure he opened on Boxing Day? May have been a one off? I couldn’t wait to spend some Xmas money I got and went into Gorgie. Think I was the only one on the bus 😁

Amazing :rofl: 

 

Here's the version I added PIES to:

Here's the image without PIES:

I think it needs a bit of work to restore the parts lost under the PIES logo.

 

It's a shame that a lot of these images were uploaded to image hosts that have since deleted the content.

Yeah the dark one would make a lovely kit I think. Doubt we'll ever get anything quite as edgy as that though. Wouldn't mind a cobbled pattern or something like the blue away top we had a couple of season ago.
