    Hearts FC kilts available

    Just checking out the Jambos website and was pleasantly surprised to see that kilts are now available in the Heart of Midlothian FC tartan:



    Sadly, it seems they are only available in-store at Tynecastle.

    I was excited when I found that there was an Arsenal FC tartan, and it's really quite a nice sett. However, the only thing I could find online in my team's tartan was a dog collar, and I don't even own a dog! So, maybe you should consider yourself lucky that the Hearts FC tartan is actually available as a kilt?

    Of course, it probably helps that your team is actually Scottish and not English!

    Quite a number of the Scottish football teams have their own kilts and tartan. Celtic recently brought out a new strip with their tartan on the shorts, looks quite smart then I would say so as I am a hoops fan

    H-E-A-R-T-S; if canne spell, then here's what it says: Hearts, Hearts, Glorious Hearts...

    btw, if anyone is looking for a title to add to their reading list, I would recommend Jack Alexander's McCrae's Battalion: the Story of the 16th Royal Scots. A number of its members were Hearts FC players:

    Hearts!
    Hmm... theyre not great but their kilt isnt too bad. I pass their shop just outside St James' centre in Edinburgh every few weeks and they have a lot of their tartan merchandize in the window. It's nice to see a football team endorsing tartan - although Celtic did take it a step further and their away top looks pretty good. If only I didnt hate club football... I would even consider buying it!
    P.S. the Celtic tartan is one of my favourites too. I believe it was the first kilt I ever wore at 9 years old

    That's great if you're a Hearts fan. Not that I'm picking on Hearts fans. I'm a long-suffering Kilmarnock fan. (Hey, two games in they were doing great this last season.) Anyone know if Killie has a tartan? I'm a fan of any soccer team manly enough to have squirrels on their jerseys.

    Wow! That is nice.

    Great -- now I have a list of roughly 1,264,328 tartans in which I want a kilt ...
