A friend of a friend who knows a bit about the financial structure at Heart tells me the club will have the colours of black and white. Solid black with white trimming home vise versa away.

I Absolutly HEART this strip!! Well done!!! It's classic and contempary all at the same time, gives a very striking look to the club and the 2nd strip really complements the 1st... i must admit when i first heard of the heart franchise i envisaged a total midlothian strip or torino/arsenal0506 or even something like the strip russia has been getting around in for their WC quali's (with trims of gold).
Although with reebok probably having the rights to the design, we're probably in for somthing alot less inspiring #-o !! It's a great GREAT shame as i see it as one of the biggest tools of marketing the club for fan and corporate support.. Please ditch the red and white idea! even the black and white idea is less appealling especially when there doesn't seem to be a reason to choose the "colours" other than to emulate bigger clubs like Juve or Notts? This approach certainly doesn't buy priceless "history" if thats what they're looking for then we may as well name it Real Melbourne FC or something eqaully tacky as they do in the USA.
In saying that though i have no problem with the name 'Heart' strangly enough even though i absolutly detest 'Fury' 'Roar' & 'storm' (altough rugby league is a tacky sport so it ok for them to have tacky names) etc, also i don't like the idea of the FFA "approving" strips let alone colours! This makes the new club sononamous with red and white just because no-one else has done it yet? What? ARE THEY SERIOUS???? WHAT A JOKE!!!! CLUBS REPRESENT THE PERSONS WHO SUPPOSABLY FORM IT, NOT BEN BUCKLEY'S SHITHOUSE MARKETING DEPARTMENT???!!!????
Trying to stay on the subject, the idea's of all shades of blues ala Victory and SMFC i think this new club should try and forge it's nown identity, ditch the "V" on the shirt (unless they wanna be known as the victorie's reserve team) and don't try to be SMFC? because they already exist on their own?!?!? Have the courage to be your own identity and you will earn the respect and support you deserve in doing so.. Also i would personally like to see SMFC, Adeliade city, Marconi or united or olympic etc return to a 2 tiered comp someday in the future but that is another subject altogether..
P.s. Sorry for the long-arse rants from a Mariners fan living in Newcastle agonising for a better a-league tommorrow!
