I'm more than happy with those! A white logo on the home shirt, and a decent contrast on the away/third shirts will do me fine. Remember the horrors of the Wonga logo clashing horribly with the home shirt, or the wrong shade of maroon when they gave a half arsed attempt to match the away kit. Stellar Omada and even Ukio Bankas are/were good ones for that reason At least we're not stoating around with Bevvy on the front of ours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTT Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 3 hours ago, Lone Striker said: There could be nothing in the rumour of course, but anything that benefits the club in some way with no downside would be worth investigating. Given Mr Anderson's record of success (e.g. Scottish Mortgage Investment Trust), it wouldn't surprise me if he was able to find such an opportunity. It could be a fantastic way to build a stadium redevelopment fund. Rather than wait for just inflows from player sales or prize money, it could be added to via the club funds and managed and hopefully grown over time so when we decide to expand the Wheatfield, there will be a sizable pot of money to facilitate that.

I'd imagine with extra revenue streams established, the hope is they will replace the need for benefactors He may however still support our charitable work through Big Hearts and other such ventures.

Cheap looking kit and that Bevvy sponsor logo! I feel dirty here, but if I was one of the Bournemouth loanees and saw that strip I’d sue Foley for breach of contract!

Bungalow Bill Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 14 hours ago, Lone Striker said: I heard a rumour last week that a high-profile Scottish financial company might be getting involved with Hearts in some way - no details, but it sounded like the sort of thing Mr Anderson may have had a hand in. Would be interesting if something happened here. There aren’t many big scottish financial companies left - Abrdn? And they’re sinking fast. Baillie Gifford, BoS, RBS all head quartered in Scotland but not Scottish anymore. Would they put money into Hearts? Would be good if they did.

He’s done fantastically well and it will look ok on the shirt Edited March 16 by kingantti1874 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't think khe fonts work together imo, looks like the intern knocked it up. Their actual logo is cool though and hopefully it's used this time around.

Record shirt sponsorship deals, benefactor donations, FoH monthly DDs, probable group stage European football, it's all pointless and meaningless when they're going to have genuinely world class players like that guy that could only get about half a dozen games for Bournemouth A over the last three years. 😢 yup spot on we can only try and keep up with the wee team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't mean anything beyond that the current deal is expiring at the end of next season Umbro are a great fit for the club. When we tried Puma the kits were shit and utterly, utterly forgettable. Looking at other brands like Joma & Castore and it all just looks cheap and tacky. Umbro are a shirt partner that quality wise there haven't really been any issues. I don't want to see us move on from them. IF we did, it would have to be Adidas or Hummel. The rest are pish.

Agreed . Even Adidas would not be my preference though . They just give us cheap looking templates, whereas Umbro seem to give us a bit of a better individual look and the quality always seems much better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preference is just to make Hearts synonymous with Umbro. Stick with them for the long haul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would they put money into Hearts? Would be good if they did. If there's any substance to it, my guess is it might involve the hotel & restaurant in some way. Maybe a sponsorship with the company name on the menu & discount for company clients ? Maybe also a preferential room rate for the company's clients ? The thing with running hotels and restaurants is you really need to minimise the number of days you've got empty rooms and tables.
