Hearts launch new home kit with MND Scotland logo as Tynecastle chief pays tribute to Marius Zaliukas

Hearts have launched their new home kit featuring the logo of MND Scotland in a touching tribute to the late Marius Zaliukas.

The Gorgie side last month unveiled a new partnership with Dell Technologies, who have funded the charity's shirt sponsorship for the upcoming Scottish Premiership season following their promotion from the Championship.

Hearts will then make a contribution for every home top sold towards MND Scotland to help fight the terrible disease.

Former Scottish Cup winning captain Zaliukas passed away from motor neurone disease in October last year and the new strip is a fitting way to honour his memory.

The Umbro effort features a collar and white bands around the sleeves.

And Jambos chief executive Andrew McKinlay said: “We are delighted to launch our stunning new home kit for the upcoming season and equally proud to see the MND Scotland logo front and centre.

“The devastating loss of Marius Zaliukas was felt by everyone connected to Heart of Midlothian and we are pleased to be able to help raise awareness of the hugely important work undertaken by MND charities to support those living with MND in Scotland.

“For every home shirt sold this season, the club will make a contribution to MND Scotland and MND Association.

"I am sure both players and Hearts supporters will take even greater pride in wearing the famous maroon jersey that promotes such a worthy cause.

"We are enormously grateful to Dell Technologies for their support of a partnership that has resonated so positively in the world of football and beyond. This is the kind of sponsorship that clubs should aspire to.”
