Tott Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Was looking to see if bryson was playing tonight. Anyway... Really like the Hearts home kit this season. I might be biased but the Umbro kits this season are pretty strong. We're working on next season now and Hearts Away 2011/12 is a peach! http://killiefc.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=56541 they really planned that far ahead?

sp&cp Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Probably, I hope it's 70's/80's style.. without a sponsor. That would not only be good, but absolute perfection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denny Crane Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 An all maroon home shirt would be not only a very good start, but a dramatic improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJGJ Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Next seasons home strip has input from us I believe so will not have been planned yet -- keep an eye on all those designs made so far and in about 6 months or so it will be time for submission. Now who do we blame then for the strip design ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bighusref Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 An all maroon home shirt would be not only a very good start, but a dramatic improvement. I think it is a certainty Matt. My theory is that this season we have went that little bit different as a precursor to that little bit, dare I say it, traditional. Going from maroon to, well, maroon would not have had the huge impact that going from this strip to a more traditional, plain maroon strip would. I think they have had an idea to do something different for a bit and have purposely popped it in before giving the plain maroon strip a go.

I think some marketing idiot with no grasp at all of Hearts' history had a wet dream and unfortunately, convinced his superiors to indulge him.

Denny Crane Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 His name...... Lawrence Brodie. Whoever it was. I stand by my assessment. That strip design is poor. A retro look at the 70s? What a great decade that was. A maroon strip with a white collar which harks back to the 50s and our golden age would be more appropriate. A person more in tune with our history would have reflected a period of success instead of one which saw the start of our (thankfully short-term) decline which culminated in the yo-yo years.

Sharpie Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 I watched the highlights of the Elgin game today on HW. Surprisingly to some this is not a HW rant, in fact the experience was quite good. What I did notice at least on TV was that when the picture was totally face on to a player he seemed to be wearing all white. I found myself a couple of times getting confused with the teams. It just didn't seem right watching a Hearts home game and the guy making the pass seemed to be in all white. I realise my old eyes are not as good as they were, but surely the home team should be the one with a distinctive color from all angles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Old Tolbooth Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 With Umbro designing the kit so far in advance, can someone remind me what Hearts excuse for not getting the kits launched until 2 days before the season was again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
