Your new strip is shit. Hibs' new strip is shit. Our new strip is shit. Thin training tops with print badges. 

Gimme the 80s and 90s. Thick material. Proppa collars. Material badges. Big shorts. Great designs. Only a home, and an away. 

We're all victims now of margin and profit at Nike, Adidas, etc. Look at our 3rd strip. Yeah, just change the Hearts badge to blue and yellow, it'll save a penny a strip avoiding having to use another colour. 

Irony is, even accounting for inflation, they're dearer than they were before. 

Personally. Not sure why clubs like us and Hibs even use a manufacturer like Adidas or Nike at all. Fair enough Rangers and Celtic with global reach. But what are the 3 of us selling each year, a few thousand, all locally, then giving away margin, for their shit strips. 

Design our own strips, with fans input, improve quality. Keep ALL sales revenue. Only sell from the club. Bet we'd all hit record sales. Do I hear a hell yeah? 

Nope - more likely a “fuck off”

That Hearts third strip is a different level of shit.

it’s your own design as well with a feint hint of the pink Lego floodlights in the dark bits.

Looks like a police mug shot, for a minor but highly embarrassing crime. 

Here's one of a highly embarrassing serious crime.

Mind when he got out of jail and said there were "mitigating circumstances"....... in him shagging a child.

Fucking horrible stot should have been sent straight back to serve the rest of his sentence there and then.

Mine arrived today (via AberDNA) which I'm sure no one cares about but if you have preordered then it'll be with you very soon. Wasn't expecting it until next week

It’s tidy. Not a fan of a round collar, but do like this top. I did think the XL was a bit tight though. 

[Sheepo]

Aye mine was delivered Today, very smart but is a bit tighter than usual especially on the arms

Bingo wings?

They seem to have stopped selling the home kit online.  Have they sold out ?  

[TheRock]

Must just be because of the launch of this season's training range and/or a bottleneck while they are sending out all existing orders for the new top. I might believe they've sold out of the home top (although they must have a decent idea of demand from previous seasons) but I can't believe they sold out of, say, every size of the short sleeved away goalkeeping top

Picked the bairns strips up today. Smartest home top we’ve had in a while 

[Poodler]

Why do training tops cost £42 these days

Get the same Adidas T-shirt’s in sports direct for about £20

profit on that

 On sale again, just in case you were actually after one. 

[super_al]

My order from the club shop arrived yesterday. I definitely would say that the quality of home top and training gear is much better than last seasons (for example the three strips aren't stickers). 
 

P.S I am loving the mint windbreaker.

Would imagine the away kit will be released shortly.  Certainly before the Euro tie.

They said August for the away kit. I’m waiting to see if it’s as good as the leaked template

I think clubs have to register kits before the first euro tie.  Maybe officially released this week with pre orders for August.

Aye i was thinking that as there would be a slim chance we'd need to use the kit in the home leg so the unveiling would be very soon

How do you work that out? Hacken play in yellow ?

[TheRock]

Even if they played in red, wouldn't they have to wear their away kit rather than us?

I said a small chance. It's high level geekery.

Dons should play in Red.

Hacken will play in White and Yellow.

Who knows what colours the keeper and refs will be in but we'll need to have unveiled our third before the match regardless, as there is always a slim chance we could need it.

Lets say their keeper colours were one strip in black and one strip in white (or a strip in red) then it would result in us wearing our away top.

[shut up meg]

Stand down Tord, they could use last years away kit as it will be the third kit this year.

Their kit is yellow and black and I'm sure they will have a couple different coloured keepers tops.

Yes, away for lunch. Look forward to the new blue strip launch on Friday

I see JET is tweeting teasers referencing the away kit photoshoot

[caledonia]

Wish we would do one in this style but gold instead of the rainbow pish
