    Please bin those hellish strips.

    Who on earth took the decision to wear those hellish black strips today?
    In some respects it was a blessing that they did as it would have been even more embarassing to have witnessed that disgraceful display being performed in the famous green jerseys.

    Have we actually had a decent result when wearing that shirt? Can only think of the 2-2 draw vs Dundee United where we have picked up any points.

    Please remember the much maligned JC hated these too and actually didnae play in them when he was supposed to, for marketing stuff

    White should be our away colour, and if the refs cannae tell the teams apart then Specsavers arnae up to the sponsorship

    To Be Honest it Doesn't Really matter what strip your wearing,
    The Performance Wasn't there, was actually embarrasing today...
    Too many negative shouts and moans from todays support aswell...

    I really had no idea why we were wearing the black strip. I assume it was a last ditch effort to sell the remaining stock of those replica kits.

    Unless there is a colour clash we should wear our traditional strip and our away strip should have some green in it somewhere. In a game as important as todays and with a big support there, we should have been wearing our home strip. End of.

    Granted,I think Hibs look wrong in black, but let's be under no illusions.

    The pitch, weather, strip, referee etc etc had nothing to do with our defeat.

    Thefact thatwe were grade A unadulterated ***** is why we deservedly got nothing from today's game

    I agree

    When I heard we were wearing the black one, I went oot, just after they scored

    I just dinnae like this strip, and I am not superstitious (sp?)

    Must admit when I saw them jogging out for the warm up wearing those black shorts my heart sank, I can't stand it, fairly sure we've never recorded a win in the thing.

    thats what I thought at the time, although it may just be because the sponsorship deal with Le Crock means we have to wear them for X amount of times in a season?

    Exactly, it was not the strip, it was the players wearing them, being inept....

    It's entirely invented - some misguided marketed ploy? Unless some Hibs historian differs, fail tae see any genuine Hibs connection.

    Cynical & crap , IMHO.

    Dont think the black strip is that bad. It could be worse - it could be purple, or even worse illuminous yellow, without dout the worst Hibs kit of all time.

    BAN THE BLACK

    All that minging strip does is to make it easier for the players to hide.

    I might be wrong but i'm pretty sure that had I played in green shirts for the season, then suddenly in black, I would be more responsive to passing to a green shirt...
