Gershwin Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Anyone remember all the club stuff you used to get in the 80s? The sweatband and head band packs (Maroon-white-maroon with 'HEARTS' written in the middle) Scarves that faded Those felt outlined player pictures you could colour in Silky bunnet-style hats. Those were the days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Sifter Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 I'm sure they didn't sell many of the hibs version You are wrong actually......seemingly there was a massive demand for hibs soap. Seemingly the phrase "would you bend down to pick up the soap" was coined back in the mid eighties in the Easter Road area..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marshallschunkychicken Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 I still have the soap in a set, the silky bunnet, which is a bit tattered now, the scarf with the faded HEARTS on it, and one of the wristbands. I also have a variety of pennants, and Hearts strips that chart my growth from approximately age 7 onwards. I'm now 29.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David McCaig Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Brought some friends from Sheffield up to Edinburgh for a Hearts-Dunfermline match back in February 2003 as part of my stag weekend and they were very impressed at being able to buy a half and half Hearts and Sheffield Wednesday hat.

Anyone remember the Digital watches you could get in Shoot Magazine for various teams. They would have a plastic face in maroon and white with Hearts written on and the badge etc...

Oxford City Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 I didn't want a Hearts hat with any English teams on it, so I got one that had Scotland on the other side. The terrible thing is, I still wear it - I wore it at a Youth match down here in rainy Oxfordshire last week. Until I started reading these posts I honestly didn't remember it was over 20 years old.

pablo Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 I remember that the club shop was a pie stand like shed on the McLeod Street terrace and was it Topps Sports or something that was on Gorgie Road. My first ever "job" was to carry big bags of merchanise from the shop to the shed shop in the School End. We had a pass to get let through the big metal gates and in for nothing. Me and my cousin did it together aged about 11 or 12 for a while. Why we weren't robbed I'll never know. Best job I've ever had really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art Vanderlay Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Surely they still do wristbands? A staple bit of merchandise for a football club, I'd have thought. Still got my old ones, and the headband somewhere. And the hearts soap dish. Hell I still got a very faded Hearts duvet cover with the lines of a football pitch printed on it... in fact, I might even dig that out and she how she looks in action...

For me, Topsport was a sort of Mecca. Buffalo Bill . I loved Topsport too, used to go in before every match, I remember a Celtic fan getting a Celtic strip printed with 'Walker' on the back, I told Russell he spelt it wrong and it should be an 'N'. The Tic fan wasn't very happy but I thought it was funny... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
