Thoughts?

IMO, the nicest jersey we've had in a long long time. Simple, no-frills, retro-like and the darker green works for me. Not a big fan of the sponsorship, but at least they (eircom) have amended the colours in their logo to 'blend' in better.

Only down-side is that the socks are hoops

**Bohemian_Hibee** · 15-02-2010 05:11 PM

Oh, meant to add, there's another down-side.. the goalie's jersey is a wine/maroon/sh*te colour

***MountcastleHibs*** · 15-02-2010 05:12 PM

Very nice indeed

Let's hope Adidas come up with something just as good for Scotland

I like it. Always prefer simple designs and I love that shade of green. Hopefully Stokes and Miller will be sporting it regularly come the qualifiers for Euro 2012.

Nice.

It's alright, I'm not a fan of Umbro though.

Stunning

Strip aint that bad either

**Austinho** · 15-02-2010 05:51 PM

The socks are hideous, the top isn't too bad though – actually prefer the shade of green to our own.

Unfortunately, I don't think Umbro sell what you'd like them to

Very nice - just add some white sleeves and it'd be almost perfect

'Bloodied turd' is the phrase you're looking for.

***Monts*** · 15-02-2010 09:28 PM

Just looks like the Ireland rugby top to me....

Can't beat a nice berd in a footy top.

p.s smart strip.

Very nice smart strip.

**Gatecrasher** · 15-02-2010 10:25 PM

the top is nice, but the trackie top is minted

**Pete** · 15-02-2010 10:36 PM

The design is great and the stitching looks OK too (how old am I).

I don't get what people have against Umbro. They're going back to basics with style and material choice...which is what people want!

I've not seen a bad Umbro kit for years. They're getting their act together big time.

Nike and especially Adidas could learn a lot when it comes to kit design.

Umbro was never a cool make from the early 80s onwards compared to adidas and Nike (mostly cos of trainers more than anything I think) but they are a lot more attuned to British sensibilities so are really listening to what people want I think. Their England kit is excellent, really nice and simple, as is this Ireland strip, nice deep green which is what Hibs should have too.
