It's been washed 20+ times and the decals are as good as new. We don't seem to have anything similar in the store right now. It has been my only real complaint for a while . Just keep it clean and simple with the training kit and fashion items . Irked me especially when we had Adidas . A simple tracksuit top or hoody just maroon with the badge and the stripes . No , all these stupid colour panels and superfluous bars and flashes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bozi Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 The main thing is, regardless of who makes the strips, is that next season's 150 year kit has to be a classic. There has been a tendancy to go from plain, almost all maroon to tops with far too much white in them, for example First Hummel top was perfect, second was far too white, same thing with our Reebok kit and our Olympic kits , all tried to be too "continental" When we went to umbro in 2007 they seemed to alternate between simple and too much white, before the legendary 2012 top. Adidas started off with a simple top but their second was hideous. The worry is after a nice plain maroon effort this year we will end up with something that's too white again next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are spot on though , all the Hearts strips I have liked least seem to have followed on from a nice plain classic effort the season before . Year to Reebok , year two Hummel and was that awful effort with Union Bankas written on two lines with white flashes on the shoulders not directly after a nice plain effort too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best kit in 40 years .. Set off perfectly the black socks. Utterly magnificent and something, given it was a well used colour in the army years of the club should be in our rotation. would like to see us rotate socks from maroon>white>black actually . Give the kit a different feel every now and then . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I fully expect that we will have a special home top this coming season, the white 3rd kit will run for two seasons as most of the 3rd kits do but we will want to have a big celebration at Tynecastle into the new season and likely have a home 'heritage' top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From fans that have absolutely no idea of the clubs history and the fact they want to automatically relate the famous red, white and blue to Glasgow Rangers despite another fact that they didn't introduce that specific colour scheme* to their clubs attire until the early 1900's with red stocking tops.

Chuck Berry Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 A nice update to the 2014/15 kit would absolutely fit the bill. As basic as the third kit, a dark maroon, and an appropriate old style badge. Plain white shorts, maroon/white socks. We won't be playing in red, white and blue, that was consigned to the bin 150 years ago thankfully.
