It would look great as an away kit, and I'm sick of us only having blue or white as options. Time to reclaim the colour, and stop associating it with something that happened 2 generations ago. 👏👏 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a Twitter vote a few weeks ago for number 6 - I think it was between 98/99 home (The OS one with the jazzy stripes on the bottom corner) and a couple of 80s Bukta home tops. Yep. Not sure why you can't buy 4 yet. Hopefully soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swanny17 Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Those screaming for a silver strip - they may look good on fans, but I honestly do not believe it's great for playing in as it can make it harder for players to see each other as they blend in with the background.

There is nothing classier that says Heart of Midlothian than dark maroon tops and white shorts with a reverse of that for the away strip.

Chizmeister Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Buy the home top then, and allow those daft fashionistas to buy the away, we've had plenty horrific results wearing maroon also but you don't hear anyone saying we should never wear that maroon again, I'm firmly in the bring back the silver camp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So 1964/65 wasn't as painful as 85/86 ? Maybe it was because the 10 years previous saw Hearts win a fair few trophies which eased the pain for some, however I know a few fans whose young hearts were broken that day,1 goal was all that was needed despite being 0-2 down where as 85/86 we needed a draw or a win. Final days of 64/65, 85/86 and I'm sure you can throw in 58/59 season in the mixer too for heartache in my opinion have very similar trates, as I say fans who are old enough want to dismiss this fine Umbro kit because of 85/86 have very selective memories.
