JamboTron Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 I had a thought about what jambos could do as another form of protest against the 'new' regime. For the first home game(s) of next season, we should dig out old strips, the older the better! This shows a support for the club and its history. I know most hearts tops are basically maroon, so this might not be that obvious from a visual point of view, so all the cheesy (blue and black?!?)away tops would also be good. Just a thought. Would love to get out my old Admiral top with the white hoops on the arm, still in great nic from the early 90's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Dover Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 In principle it's surely a good 'non-toxic' idea that would embrace those who dont really want to boycott matches and 'hurt' the club ? It would also be sufficiently original to grab some headlines - no ? In reality it would probably need a lot of people to stump up for a 'retro' shirt though ! I haven't bought one since the Strongbow days anyway so I'm actually sorted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stewart MacD Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 I`ve got an ancient candystriper and one from around 4 years ago without a sponsor?s ad (it conveniently fell off).

N User Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 After a week of work, getting a burnt pie, losing a bet, watching a poor Hearts team getting humiliated - the last thing I want to see is thousands of moobs poking through skintight and smelly tops from the 80s. Pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DikT. Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 But a lot of people wear old strips anyway. How would we know who was demonstrating and who was in their normal strip? Personally I couldn't fit into any of my older ones either........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peebles jambo Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 why not wear whatever strip you've got, with the sponsors name taped over my old strips are just that, old, worn out and will never fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boy_in_maroon Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 it might not be such a bad idea, if the press, (as they usually do) get wind of such a protest it may be an idea to wear any Hearts top NOT BEARING THE "UKIO BANKAS" logo, at least then we would not be advertising for this clown so get the old kit out lets see ALEXANDERS, RENAULT, MILLAR HOMES, THORN, MITA, STRONGBOW, ALL SPORTS, or retro tops DITCH THE UKIO JERSEY'S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickmaroon Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Great idea... ...except... ...a few thousand people turning up in a football stadium with ill-fitting fashions from the 1980s... ...we'd just be copying our city rivals, again:rolleyes::107years: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm up for this, not least because one of my old shirts (the argentina-stripe style away strip from '96) can still contain my increasingly wobbly torso.

blackjambo Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 IF there is no 'real' manager in place by the time of the first game - I think that you would get better impact from a black tea-shirt protest. It would certainly stand out more than an assortment of old maroon and like the man said - we'd be emulating the mob from across town. I do like the idea of blanking out the Ukio Bankas name though. IF there is a real manager in place - why not just get right behind the team and see what happens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(88/89) We started that season without a sponsor, it was the same strip as the Thorn Security one (but the season before). As we got to the Euro Q/F and signed Tosh McKinlay from Dundee, also brought Robertson back, we suddenly had a 6 month sponsor from a company called Novafone, anyone remember it?

However No harm in toying with these ideas all the same .............and I like the black T-shirt idea. That would involve little or no cost and if we could get the message out beyond the confines of JKB it could be a winner. Once again though, it will hopefully not be required Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
