Personally the Scottish Cup win v Rangers ended the pain of 86. A previous well known member of Kickback Buffalo Bill sourced out that top so he could wear it to the 2006 Cup Final, his aim was to lay the so called ghosts of 86 to rest by watching Hearts beat Gretna in the cup final.... just and I'm led to believe he was sweating buckets (weren't we all) at the penalty kick stage. I know for a fact if we had been beaten that day it was not down to the players performing it would have been solely down to the top. 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the rest of your points 👌🏻👍⚽️ Correct as usual! I think light/sky blue works well with maroon and is a natural colour for a Hearts away shirt. In fact, I’d like to see sky blue feature in our maroon jersey. Maroon needs to predominate of course but maybe something akin to this season’s West Ham’s shirt. Or if not on the shirt, sky blue on the socks (think Colin Bell’s Man City late ‘60s). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite a number of folk on here including yourself whether the opinion is they like it or not, it's being discussed. I simply pointed out to you that the top pictured is from 1983/84 season and not from 2 seasons later. It’s probably one of the worst out of all these away tops, you can buy it already, there’s loads in the shop funnily enough 🤔🤷🏾♂️? No matter what sponsor or year it’s from its forever tainted, it’s not that popular and it won’t ever be our away strip ever again. Get over it 👍🏽.

The 1987-88 home and away strips are probably my favourites - nice simple design with a really good, deep shade of maroon. Think we finished second that year with a win late in the season at Ibrox.
