The Seagull Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 The Heart also announced another key new signing on the day, announcing they will partner with Italian sporting giant Kappa as it's new apparel partner for the next two Hyundai A-League seasons. A brand synonymous with football, Kappa has supplied kits for the likes of reigning German Champions Borussia Dortmund and Mark Schwarzer's Fulham in recent years. http://www.footballaustralia.com.au/news-display/john-aloisi-named-coach-of-melbourne-heart/47234 I would have assumed we would've stayed on with ISC for at least another year, but Kappa must obviously be paying a little more money. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marteaux Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 Excellent news. Kappa kits are quite nice! This. Robe di Kappa being a brand of choice for casuals in the 80's. I'm very happy with this. Would have preferred Le Coq though, for obvious reasons. See ya ISC, kit was boring as sin, brand was tacky and lame, and the replica kits they produced for us weren't of high quality at all. Hopefully Kappa come out with something cool next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnteTomicWillPlayThisWeek Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 See ya ISC, kit was boring as sin, brand was tacky and lame, and the replica kits they produced for us weren't of high quality at all. Hopefully Kappa come out with something cool next year. To be fair, ISC couldn't dramatically change the design due to HAL restrictions. Can also confirm that the players wore the same kit (no replicas - just a minor alteration to allow for the mobile GPS units). Be thankful that ISC allowed our necks to actually fit through the hole after the horribly choking Reebok days... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marteaux Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 Don't wear or buy replica kits so I wouldn't know. I've just heard that they were shocking quality, same as the Reebok ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drcolossus1 Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 Summing up, the design for our kits have been pretty good when you look at what some of the other teams have had to wear. Quality of both the Reebok and ISC kits were absolutely shite. I had a home reebok jersey and an away ISC and to be honest I think the reebok one is slightly better quality (not neck wise though). I'm hopeful kappa can use some material of decent quality, especially when you pay around $120 for a top. And please put a collar on it! What I'm really looking forward to is maybe some casual heart gear that I wouldn't be embarrassed to wear on non match days. That would be nice.....

Justin87 Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 Im surprised at some of the so called supporters, who cares what sponsor we have they (kappa) are obviously willing to put some money into the club. There not the top brands in the world, who gives a fk, if its not what you like to wear cos its to woggy, who gives a fk your there to support ur club, show love for ur club, not cos who sponsors them.

Justin87 Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 I'm not saying people cant, but all on facebook and all some on here, thats all i seen sooking about the sponsor. And opinions on designs is different to opinions on sponsors. Alright kappa is the sponsor, some people will like it some wont, lets move on...talking about a design is fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deviant Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 the only way MHFC will get to lure in a major sponsor like NIKE or ADIDAS is if they get more members and more fans to the games!!

Personally up there with Umbro, DYF in regards to both the quality and the design of football kits. Nike, Adidas and the same bland templates? No thanks. Hopefully Kappa revert to the big shoulder badges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
