hereford_hearts Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 Has anyone been to the shop recently or going to the shop in the next couple of days. My lad wants a new home top for the final, and there are none online. If anyone can tell me if the stock shown online, is the same as in the shop, that would be handy. He's only 13, but needs a large adult!! Thanks all. Oh, and FTH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamdunc Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 Think they are sold out except maybe small. Best idea is go Ebay for an older shirt. Plenty available new with tags Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTT Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 Disappointed to see the club seems to have ran out of replica kits. I saw the 3rd kit is still going, so maybe that is an option? With a cup final coming up, you'd think they'd want stock to sell... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Percival King Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 I was in the shop the other day. Saw the Alexanders top for the first time, what a shocker. I loved that top first time round, we had some really memorable players wear it but this is a poor replica, no idea how the colour can be so wrong. It's more like an Aberdeen top than a Hearts one.

I've had a look at the Hearts online shop, and I'm surprised to see that there isn't a car sticker. Surely this is a basic item for a club shop to sell? A Hearts sticker in a car window. A bit risky.

But it's up to the car owner to assess the risk before buying/attaching. A car sticker would be cheap to manufacture, and would remain current for as long as the club badge remained unchanged. I would guess that the profit would be around 80%, so even if they're a slow seller it would make sense to stock them. I just want one! ❤️❤️ Good luck.

Jambo-Fox Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 The most popular car sticker back in the day (of league reformation) was “ ♥️ Hearts for the Top Ten ♥️ “ “Seith OUT also became popular” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's only 13, but needs a large adult!! Thanks all. Oh, and FTH! I was in on Wednesday picking up my final tickets and I got myself one of the 3rd tops (the Inter Milan-ish one). They had them in all sizes I think. I didn't actually have a close look at what sizes of home tops they had, although they definitely had some on hangers! As has already been said, worth phoning the shop if you can and asking! FWIW, size-wise, I'm a large generally for t-shirts, but bought an xl for the 3rd shirt, as I felt the large was just a little on the neat side when I tried it on in the shop, although I did try it on over the t-shirt I was wearing! So If you can't get a large for the laddie but could get an xl, I'd definitely say go for that, it's not going to hang off him like a tent or anything, and will last him a wee bit longer as he grows!

They would, but there's a long lead time on these things, and they'd need to order a large number, if they even could. I don't know what all the clubs are that Umbro produce kit for, but their factory(factories?) will probably right now be producing tops for next season for clubs they've got contracts for. They won't be able to quickly, cheaply, and easily just run off a hundred or so home Hearts tops in a variety of sizes and ship them over to us at short notice, unfortunately. Realistically, there's probably a handful, or maybe dozens at most, of people who would be looking to buy the current home top at this stage of the season if we weren't in the cup final, unless we were flogging excess stock at heavily cut prices, and if we were doing that, it would probably mean we'd over-ordered and were losing money on them!

Do you have any idea how long it is roughly? Seem to remember Adidas having a ridiculous one which was a factor in leaving (6+ months?) My assumption was Umbro was a lot better?

To be honest, I don't know what Umbro's specific lead time would be, but similar discussions have been had on jkb a few times now over the years, with people who had (or claimed to have!) some actual experience of the industry stating the issues. I guess the bottom line is that if Hearts thought they could sell a significant number of shirts in the build-up to the final, and could get an order fulfilled quickly enough, they'd probably have done so already!

They definitely used to stock them more recently, I bought one for my car in 2016, and one for my newer car in 2019, and another to sit spare. Haven't seen them since mind you, but I also haven't exactly looked for them. In the shop they were near the golf stuff rather than where you would expect them. Since I've moved, it's now been peeled off and relocated to the sun strip of my windscreen so it's not as obvious unless you know it's there. I also peeled off my Berwick Rangers one entirely. Somehow, driving around Belfast with a sticker that includes the word Rangers doesn't seem like the best move Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
