Sounds like we are changing from Umbro Still good marketing if you produce and market a product and it sells out lol. Especially one that people weren't initially keen on. Bad planning perhaps. Or maybe we ordered the normal amount, it didn't sell initially so we didn't think we'd need more, then when people started buying it, it was too late to get more.

Our away strips have been absolute bogging for years Aye. I think the current home kit reversed would make a cracking away kit. The Argentina style ones were nice too. Seems we haven't had a white and maroon away kit since 2015. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wore it to the Celtic game. Lovely top. Shame it had big bright blue shorts though - would have looked good with maroon or black shorts.

I mind buying the 10/11 for £25 quid and you would get the 09/10 for £5 Liked the Ajax style 08/09 - The 02/03 blue reebok was nice too was similar to the home .

Sertse Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 It's a minging kit, probably not enough demand to warrant making more. Our third strip and black one from last season are miles above the standard we've had recently. Hopefully we can go back to Adidas or even go with Nike, Umbro don't seem to come up with very good designs besides the two I've mentioned.

Wouldn't mind seeing us in Nike since we've never had it but them and Adidas tend to re-use templates for several teams and I think it can really cheapen them. Nike in particular can be very plain and boring too, especially for "smaller" teams like ourselves. I like how Umbro have given us some one-offs that other teams don't have. Would hate for us to go down the Macron/Joma route though. They are horrific. Castore would be a shout. We'd get a very good looking jersey from them since they don't have that many teams on board yet. And I hate to admit it, but The Rangers' efforts this year are actually outstanding.

There's been serious concerns about the castore quality, unsure if it was just last season and they were maybe having teething problems. Would be good to see though, the away tops recently have been very disjointed. Last seasons away kit was a very poor effort but on the reveal board it was light blue and black. Yet the top was light blue and white. Looked very rushed. This season's away top looks like a pyjama top and the 'always Hearts' has no actual meaning. I think they just don't bother about the away tops until the last minute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bret the Hitman Hearts Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Away kit should always be a reverse of the home kit, and then if the club insist on releasing a bogging light blue or navy (or any other colour) they can make that the third kit.

That 2010/11 away kit is possibly my least favourite away kit in my lifetime, and the only one that could give it a run for it's money was the season before: The home shirt was just as stinking, and I'm pretty sure that was the year we had HOMFC on the socks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tian447 Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 I think this is the best away kit we've had in years: Maybe more suited to a 3rd kit though. Would like to see us have a shot at a white away kit again, but it doesn't necessarily have to just be an inverted version of the home shirt. Would like to see a bit of design go into them. The Sparta Praga shirts show how a nice simple design can be classy as, but I think we'd hear no end of moaning on here if the away shirt was just the reverse of the away shirt.

Really liked the embossed brickwork pattern on that shirt. Just wasn't much a fan raspberry ice pole colour. And honestly I'd forgot Rory Currie existed.

I don't think there would be as much moaning though, I reckon more fans than not prefer a simple classy reverse of the home. Wouldn't have to be an exact reverse though, only in the colour sense. Could be a different style and design Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Maroon but two different shades of maroon and the pinstripe through the darker one ? And then the away top being white same design with maybe light grey for the darker stripes. MND Scotland on both tops too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambo92 Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Umbro will only produce kits in large amounts, by this date into the current season, probably 95% of interested buyers would have purchased the product already, so Hearts would be left to pay the bill for a stock that they would only be selling if heavily discounted.

I have no idea where I even got hold of it, as I'm pretty sure it wasn't available in the shop - the bright blue one was! I was very much when it fit me 17 years ago It's a boys XL size (the badge is tiny compared to the adults sizes) That's the one! A thing of beauty it is.
