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” Link to comment

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. Link to comment

TheRock Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 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 Link to comment

Kiriakov33 Posted July 3, 2021 Author Share Posted July 3, 2021 They seem to have stopped selling the home kit online. Have they sold out ? Link to comment
TheRock Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 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 Link to comment
NEM Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Picked the bairns strips up today. Smartest home top we’ve had in a while Link to comment
Poodler Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Why do training tops cost £42 these days Get the same Adidas T-shirt’s in sports direct for about £20 profit on that Link to comment

super_al Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 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. 1 Link to comment

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. Link to comment
shut up meg Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 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. 1 Link to comment
