JD. Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 “Heart is committed to delivering professional and engaging initiatives to reward fans for their support for the Club,” Heart CEO Scott Munn said. How in any way is this rewarding us? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dRoy Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 (edited) NBA players did it today lol that's probably where they got the idea I'd say they got the idea from the Mexican First Division soccer team, Jaguares de Chiapas. They did it in October 2011. It's not something they can just come up with in a few days notice. Would have been planned for a while. http://offthebench.nbcsports.com/2011/10/31/mexican-soccer-team-replaces-names-on-jerseys-with-twitter-handles/ Edited February 4, 2013 by dRoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sash Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 It's been a tough couple of weeks since the Adelaide game. But overall, I think our form has been getting better last 4 or 5 games. Really should win at home, but who knows which Heart will turn up. Fans need to stand up this week and show what we're about. It takes a lot of time and hard work to build a reputaion, but only one or two incidents to damage it. So on and off the field, we need to get back to the Adelaide performance. Turn up, bring your mates, and let's have a good one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jw1739 Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 It's not something they can just come up with in a few days notice. Would have been planned for a while.

biancorosso7 Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 A throw back to the Fan Designed 3rd Strip v CCM last season, and therefore, I would like to see David Williams as the central striker and Babalj play as a number 10. Redmayne Walker - Gerhardt - Vrankovic - Mitchinson Germano - Thompson Garcia - Babalj - Mebrahtu Williams Bench: Bolton - Garrucio - Kalmar - Mauk/Retre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red or Dead Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 Considering we will be voting for the man of the match using Twitter, I think it's a very clever idea. This way, when a fan wants to vote, they can actually tweet, "I vote for @redders_20 to be @MelbourneHeart's man of the match #GoHeart" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexiano Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 Think this is a great idea in terms of embracing the digital age and encourage fans that there is more than Facebook and email.

Sash Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 (edited) As a one off, I think it's a good idea. The club already has a pretty good reach on Twitter with over 10,000 followers, so if it broadens that connection to fans in some way, then fine. It also another way of trying to be innovative, like being the first to do the fan design shirt. New ideas should be encouraged, not bagged all the time. We're not going to get far if we don't try things. And I've just seen what it looks like, and it looks ok.

dRoy Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 Its more than just a Melbourne thing, twitter is worldwide, this will reach a lot of new people. I dont have a problem with it.

harps21 Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 If we wanted to do this on the world stage, should we have waited until we play Sydney where their games beam live into Europe I'm just guessing that Heart vs Glory wont get much support outside here Anyway I understand why we're doing it, I just think its an odd thing to do. But like most things I'll reserve judgement to after the event Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they have digits for the text font or is it a special print on the jersey? Haven't seen any pictures yet. I pictured them replacing the surname with the twitter handle in the same font and didn't think there were digit equivalents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corn Bread Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 I don't think it's the coolest thing I've ever seen but it can't really have a negative impact, current fans will accept it as a marketing ploy and all it could potentially do is start the players names trending on twitter, which would lead people that weren't even at the game to their pages and then to Heart's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
