henryheart Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 I don't expect anyone under the age of 60 to agree with me, but the Hearts change kit should always be a white shirt, maroon shorts, white socks. It should only be worn when there is a clash with the opponents and as before the mid 80's, it should be the home team that changes. Oh the excitement of seeing Hearts running out at Tynecastle in those white and maroon collared shirts when Aberdeen were in town! Why Hearts have to wear a garish blue top when playing against the orange and black of Alloa is beyond me..... well actually it is not, its about selling replica kits, but it doesn't make it right.

I do agree we should do white and maroon more often, and a candy stripe.. I do agree that this seasons away effort is an absolute horror show, and we have had a few of them - the roseberry 😆 Our strips should always be classy. Not tarty 👍🏻 the black kit for instance is up there with one of our best ever. And black is a part of our history as we frequently used to wear black socks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 85/86 they beat us 3-1 in the first game we finished with 9 men in maroon and I’m sure in December 85 we wore silver maybe old age playing tricks on me 😂👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auld age is included in life's contract therefore no punishment will be given 🤣🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m a traditionalist and always want to see Hearts wearing dark maroon and white - the reverse away strip is sharp and classy, and of course invokes memories of that great day in 1998.

PeterHaringsPonytail Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Those white section of the sleeves on this years away kit takes a fairly forgettable kit and make it worse. The whole white under armour when it’s blue and maroon makes no sense. It’s not a million miles away from “ok” but the additions of the white on the sleeves make it worse. If they were maroon or not there, it’d be better. Not good, but better. And for what it is worth I’m all for tradition where the away kit should be polar-opposite of the home. Where it’s maroon, it’s white and where it’s white it’s maroon. Worked in 98. But then the 96 away kit and the Inter kit are also tremendous! I’m all for out the box as long as it works. The black third kit is sexy. There’s no denying that! Also, while I’m at it, bring back collars. Sick of v-necks. I’m too old to have too much back/neck and chest hair exposed!

Perth to Paisley Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Anybody who On 18/01/2021 at 19:25, Smithee said: And yet you knew exactly what he meant ffs 1 the full name is Football Club Internazionale Milano, you even posted it yourself in your #4 2 no one ever said it was a direct copy 3 see #1, plus it's what the footballing world outside Italy has called them for decades 4 so? 1. Anybody who cares about Italian football (which i do) have been been frustrated about this for years 2. It has been referred to the Inter Milan version ... it's as close to the Newcastle strip! Black and another colour. 3. Maybe the case but their fans have railed against it for years and their opinion counts more than ours! 4. How would you havd felt if Vladimir decided we would play in green... changing the name is a very big deal for them. They will rebel against the Chinese owner. Particularly now there is a club called Inter Miami As an aside there was a question on The Chase last week. The answer was 'AC'. The lady just said "Milan" , she was asked which one, she said Inter ... Milan should have been enough as the other doesn't exist. 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You brought it up, yet you yourself got their name wrong while complaining that people get their name wrong. It doesn't matter, just like it doesn't matter that Ajax are actually Amsterdamsche Football Club Ajax, it's the commonly used international name. Years of their history are not being wiped out by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
