heartsfc_fan Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 If you're meaning it looks this is seasons away kit, then yes. However I fully believe that our current away kit should be White and Maroon (not White and Dark Blue). Look so much better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MackaysCentreSpot Posted November 18, 2008 Author Share Posted November 18, 2008 What's your point? Interesting to see that our away strip apart from the maroon stripe being replaced by a navy stripe is the same as this strip that was introduced in 1972. Sorry for wasting your time.............

Sorry for wasting your time............. Wasn't that the whole point of it though? I can remember the Club saying that they had taken inspiration for it from the old 'Ajax' strip we had in the 1970s.

I'm just trying to work out the purpose of this thread. It's obvious the strips are alike, I'm sure that was the whole point of the design.

Mouse Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 the cub would be better going back to retro style kits, the current and last seasons home strips are terrible, Maroon shirt & white shorts for the home and plain white or something with thin stripes in maroon would do nicely for an away kit.

Era Macaroons Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Yes it does look familier. and an interesting article to boot, some other cracking photos there as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Morocco Mole Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 the away strip this year has navy shorts, where as the original shorts were white. i think that this years away strip should of been maroon and white like the original. the strip that hearts are wearing against wolves would be a great away strip.

The People's Chimp Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 I'm just trying to work out the purpose of this thread. It's obvious the strips are alike, I'm sure that was the whole point of the design. Totally right, and a very bizarre thread. Of course, the club ***ed it up by not making the blue panel on both sides of the strip and putting it only on the front. it just looks daft and because of that, goes from potentially being a cracking away top to one of the worst hearts tops of recent memory.

Malcolm Tucker Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 ....to be fair dude when the away top came out there was about a million threads comparing it to the top in question.

Dave Ross Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Can I make a sensible point? If it had maroon rather than blue would it not have too much maroon for an away kit? A hearts away strip should always be white and maroon though. Mind you who do we clash against (used to play Aberdeen away in maroon)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leginten Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 While we're at it, can anyone explain the mystery of the Ajax-style strip with the red panel that we wore in the Cup quarter-final against Dundee when Tommy Murray was playing (and possibly in other games, but I can't remember). Why red? With regard to the current away strip, I'd be happy with it if it wasn't a design nightmare with the Hearts badge and the two logos converging near the top. There's the basis of a very good strip there, but the designer wants sacking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bilston angel Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 One picture in that piece interests me is the one of the crowd at the 3-3 draw in the Scottish Cup against the Celtic in 1966 where the official attendance was nearly 47,000. I was between the Wheatfield entrance and the Gorgie end at the back which is shown in that photo, and remember the crowd spilling in through the Gorgie end and on to the pitch. I have never seen that picture before and it looks quite dangerous now; they moved a lot of the crowd off the pitch into any area they could find mainly the Gorgie end enclosure and that looked really packed from my viewpoint. I reckon there must have been over 50,000 in Tynecastle that day to see an exciting game and no segregation then, we were surrouded by Tic fans, anybody else have memories of that day?

So we bizzarely ran out in QF wearing Read/white stripes. drew 1-1 and lost the replay 3-2. Who won the cup? C*ltic in green & white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I was hallucinating when I arrived at Tynecastle that day. It was bad enough dodging all the street-fighting that was going on outside the ground, but when I saw us run out in red I couldn't believe it.

Buffalo Bill Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Texaco cup sounds grand, what happened to that? Texaco withdrew sponsorship and it became the 'Anglo-Scottish' Cup, with teams like St Mirren and Chesterfield winning. The top teams weren't interested. The tournament ended in the early 80s. Hearts' run to the final in '71 though created a lot of interest. This was the first tournament and was probably the best by far. We played Wolves, who were a very good team at the time.

Ah Chesterfield, drew with the huns 0-0 at Ipox and then hilariously hammered them 3-0 at home. Texaco/Anglo-Scottish memories. Busby scoring the only goal at Goodison. Burnley ****ing us 3-0 at Tyney (Leighton James in his pomp) Bobby Moore playng for Fulham against us, all the Hearts fans wanting to kill their keeper Peter Mellor for time-wasting.
