Hearts of Oak will start donning kits from sponsors UMBRO starting next month (February).

The Phobians signed a three-year contract with the UK sportswear and equipment firm last year but are yet to take delivery of the products.

Hearts paid a ‘substantial amount’ in December after placing an order.

"We have made payment for a consignment ordered and we are now waiting for UMBRO to produce them and supply to us. I can say that they are at the production stage," an unnamed management member is quoted by Graphic Sports.

"They [UMBRO] have assured us that early next month it (kits) will be coming so we are expecting to receive about 6,000 replica jersey and other items for the team."
