HMFC - Heart of Midlothian

Tynecastle - HMFC Football Stadium

Scottish Professional Football Club - Founded 1874

Hearts, Hearts, glorious Hearts, It's down at Tynecastle they bide, the talk of the toon are the boys in maroon and Auld Reekie supports them with pride. Their Tynecastle Stadium is based in Gorgie, their colours are maroon and white.

The Badge

The Heart Badge adorned on the Hearts Football Strip is based on the Heart of Midlothian mosaic on the Royal Mile. Tourists to Edinburgh will frequently observe people spitting on the Heart. Why would you spit in the Heart? Well, there are several assumptions associated with this Scottish Tradition ranging from the discontent against authority to the “it will bring you good luck” element and apparently if you are lovers it’s not in your best interest to stand in the centre and kiss.
