Why do Hearts wear maroon?

[Smartie]

Practicality.

A colour with above-average stain hiding properties.

[Alfred E Newman]

It's quite chic on a cardigan though especially when worn with yellow cords.

[He's here!]

There's a scientific reason behind it, known as the 'bellend barometer', which measures a person's character. In studies, when presented with a choice of which Edinburgh club to support based on their colours, those who opt for the vibrant, glorious Hibernian green are immediately discarded from the study whereas those who opt for the cheerless, repellent maroon are automatically accorded bellend status.

Strips were red white and blue St Andrews horizontal stripes went in too high a wash hence maroon

Happened all the time in amateur fitba

Remember Liverpool having pink trims as they had an accident when washing the strips.

Marron is a French word for brown. So it’s definitely a brownish red i.e

Spanish too

[gbhibby]

Cause they kept spelling Burgundy wrong.

I applaud hearts for their forward thinking, the perfect colour to go with driving a rover and wearing a cardigan.

Or promenading on the Plaza after a slap-up meal at the Tynecastle Hotel.

Plenty threads about how crap we are. This is just just a meaningless debate that you feel the need to join.

We are Hibs fans our sole existence is to slag off Hearts 😃

[Greensunshine]

Something to do with The Heart Of Midlothian Dance hall if memory serves.

Who ****ing cares, they’ve won **** all for twelve years in a Mickey Mouse league and they still think they’re a big team! Strange behaviour!

[Bridge hibs]

Why do hearts wear maroon ? Because no other sensible colour would touch them

Manks

[hibby6270]

A question that the Colourblocks on CBeebies might be able to answer?

[Eyrie]

Surely Hearts wear maroon as a tribute to Levein's performance when they won the league at Dens back in 1986?

[Forza Fred]

Because at the bar in the dance hall, the carpet turned that colour due to the constant mixing of fag ash and spilt red wine?

Apologies in advance to anyone offended.

[Monts]

Because they're bl**dy s***e

[Waxy]

Jobbies dont show on maroon shorts

I never realised that the original Hearts disbanded in 1876and were reformed in 1877

Not for the last time either. They were wound up again in 1905 when the limited company (which was only formed a couple of years earlier) went bust. They reformed pretty quickly.

Not that we can say much about such matters after our wee 'interlude' from 1891-93

“ the 4th game was a battle of charging, kicking and tripping”, I would love to see one of those, just for one game drop var, no ref, let the players “sort it out”.
