The 2011–12 season will be Melbourne Heart's second season in the A-League. The club was originally scheduled to compete in the first ever edition of the Mirabella Cup, along with fellow A-League side and fierce rival Melbourne Victory, but the FFA forbade all A-League clubs from competing. The season will see the addition of a youth team to the club, which will compete in the 2011–12 A-League National Youth League season.

Season overview

On 7 July 2011, the Club announced it would take part in the inaugural Hawaiian Islands Invitational from 23–25 February 2012. The squad is set to be made up of emerging youth players as the tournament overlaps with the 2011-12 A-League season. Taking part in the Invitational will be Japan's Yokohama FC, South Korea's Incheon United FC and reigning MLS Cup winners the Colorado Rapids.^[1]

Melbourne Heart, along with major sponsor Westpac will again stage the Westpac Community Football Festival. These will be three, 3 day celebration of the Football as well as a thank you to all of the clubs regional support.^[2] The three reigonal centers will be set up in Albury-Wodonga on 4–6 August,^[3] in Morwell from 18–20 August^[4] and in Shepparton from 25–27 August^[5] with a practice match being played at each venue.

Team Kit

From 1 April 2011, all A-League clubs were able to negotiate new kit supplier deals as the previous contract with Reebok had elapsed and as such, Melbourne Heart negotiated a one-year deal with ISC.^[6]

Third Jersey Competition

The Club, in conjunction with new apparel partner ISC, offered supporters the chance to be part of the on-field team and submit their design for a ‘Third Jersey’. After hundreds of entries and months of deliberation the winning design, created by Red and White Unite co-founder Steven Forbes, was judged the winner.^[7] As part of the prize the winning design will be worn for Melbourne Heart's clash with the Central Coast Mariners in Morwell on 18 January 2012. The design will also be Manufactured in a limited run of 500 and sold to the public.^[8]
