So what you are saying is that our KPI is NOT to qualify for the ACL? This would explain why people are keeping their jobs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thisphantomfortress Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 That is a fucking banging kit and logo. It'll be a loooooong time til they get any relevance with Nacional and Penarol in town anyway. Their fans literally paint the power polls the clubs colours so you know which team the neighbourhood supports its that ingrained. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also we were the first to have been renamed and had our colours changed. Now with this happening again, even after what many may have perceived as a error in judgment it's pretty clear that we will never return to the traditional Heart strip. So finally those that held this hope that one day we may be somehow be a reincarnation of Heart should accept that we can't go back. That is you can't unscramble the egg so to speak. So as I've accepted the loss of the sausage stand and promise never to post about it again can others that put out posts of returning to red and white stripes also cease. I have moved on and I encourage others to follow. Edited January 30, 2020 by Jovan 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think its dead; in fact i actually think the club views it as a very important part of our history and will continue to use it going forward in away and 3rd kits and as a secondary colour scheme. What is dead however is any notion we will revert back to it as our regular home strip. That ship has well and truly sailed, and if you are still clinging on after 5 seasons of being sky blue and haven't moved on yet then you either need to put up or shut up, cos most people are absolutely sick of hearing about it. *Note use of the word you there is not directed at anyone specifically 😛 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still hold out hope that we might get at least variation with the home kit whether thats an Argentinian sky blue and white stripes etc but seeing that Montevideo City kit being exactly the same as us...

Dont like the look of that. I think you're wasting your time to be honest and you're better off just accepting it or moving on. Otherwise you just live in a constant disappointment, which imo is what a hell of a lot of our fan base have done to themselves. That's not to say we should accept mediocrity or anything like that, but context is always important and i think our fans have judged the club against their own expectations post takeover, and not relative to the other clubs, or even what we were when we were Heart. The everything was better in the Heart days types a re a good example of that. In saying that, if something ever happened and we somehow saw a backflip in that area, then you take that as a bonus if it comes.
