Holyrood_Hearts Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Do Hearts run the online shop personally or does this get contracted out to another company? I’ve been just been looking at the this morning & noticed we’re still advertising this season’s away shirt as a “pre-order” but it didn’t appear like the websites been updated in months. Also curious with 3 games of the season left the home shirt has been reduced but the away shirt & unlucky black shirt remain full price. I don’t know enough about online retail but surely not updating the online shop is costing the club revenue? Is this the last season of Umbro as well?

I don’t know enough about online retail but surely not updating the online shop is costing the club revenue? Is this the last season of Umbro as well? I assume this is due to demand. There surely is either a) sufficient sales of the away and 3rd kit at the current price. Or b) limited stock that they think they'll shift at the current price, or with a shorter 'summer sale'.

The website is pretty pish but its been updated quite regularly, a few weeks ago the quality summer hat/shirt/shorts combo was added. Theres a few things strip wise for youths/bairns reduced. Ive been saving up my pocket money for a Champions 20-21 tshirt. I think the shop itself is opening again next week so there might be some more sale stuff on offer then.

I was looking at this too, this is the second season with the third kit so surprised it hasn’t come down yet. It was popular at the start but demand would be lower Now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They haven't really set the heather alight with any of their offerings for Hearts during this deal. The last cracking kit we had was the Adidas effort in 2014.

BM1874 Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Find it a bit weird the difference in price reductions of various kits, especially the men > women’s kit that were the same price, but the men’s is slowly reduced (£40 then down to £35) but the women’s kit was straight to £30 that said, despite some relative high pricing of items. The updates of stock hasn’t been too bad tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've not been bad, they've just not been belters either. I agree the black 3rd shirt is nice, but that's been the only real highlight. 52 minutes ago, No Idle Talk said: I disagree.

Not bad, but not one that'll be looked back on in 15 years as a gold standard. Doesn't compare favourably with the likes of the Pony shirts or the Asics effort.

Sertse Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 I don't think that this seasons away strip was the first design they came up with and it seemed pretty rushed. On the announcement of the strip the background was blue and black not blue and white. And the maroon shorts do not go at all. Hopefully next season we'll get either the inter style blue and black or a fully black strip with maroon stitching like the third strip but with a better collar.
