    Oh dear, luminous yellow is not a very forgiving colour for those of us of mature years (like myself) or for those who need xxxl.

    Look on the bright side you'll be safer walking home from the pub in the dark.

    I don't think it can be dark if there is anyone wearing that strip in the vicinity.
    Mature, sensible signature required for responsible position. Good prospects for the right candidate. Apply within.

    I really like this one. Ironically, the generic template kit is better than the ones we get to customise with dodgy collars and the like.

    Also, glad to see my pet hate of having Glory Glory on the back with a sponsor and player name and number has been removed on this one.

    Using purple as a third kit this year would be a waste... patience, it’ll likely be our away kit next year.

    Dunno why people get so worked up about strips being templates - a lot of folk despised us being with Nike because teams in other countries had a strip with the same collar etc. If it’s a nice template then I don’t really care if 50 other teams have it, none of them will be as good as a Hibs strip.

    Clearly a header

    Never a red card

    Still a 1-0 win!
    Yep. JC was so cool he could hail a cab whilst scoring.

    Personally with the increase in teams wearing alternate kits in most away games I'd like to see Scotland try an NFL style kit system. With each team having a colour and white kit that is standard home and away wear and is kept for 2 or 3 seasons and then release a 'colour rush' and 'throwback' kit every season to wear a few times.
    I don't even know what that means, what the hell is a "colour rush" kit ?

    Yep, or a "throwback kit". Sounds like typical US bull**** jargon invented to sell rubbish to idiots. Let's face it, they even bought Trump 😂

    A throwback is a kit that's old style, colours/design etc

    All one colour. If you play on Thursday night, you wear a color (American spelling) rush kit.

    Jets will be all green, Redskins maroon, Dolphins Teal, 49ers red, etc.

    Hibs would play in all Green.

    Thanks for explaining that. To be frank though I don't understand the point of having that.

    Marketing and shirts sales. American sports shirts don't change often as there's a collective maker and no sponsors so one way to sell more.

    For the most part they're actually nicer than the regular ones!

    Dolphins colour rush was all orange, Seahawks had a luminous green and the Cardinals was all yellow so they weren't all just a variant on the traditional primary shirt colour.

    I was thinking it would keep the traditional brigade happy as our away colours would always be white so that would allow us to release an all yellow, all purple, all mint green, all black and so on every so often and let the designers have a bit fun.

    Equally I think there's merit in a 'throwback' style. Hibs running out in a 70s style top with a more discreet sponsor for a couple of games a season, the all green with white collar and cuffs Blackpoolhibs is so fond of, a nod to the Skol Cup or SC winning shirts, a Sauzee era recreation, a 1950s rugby style shirt, maybe even hoops. A lot of them would be very popular. As said above in the NFL the throwback kits are often nicer than the current efforts, certainly the case with the Dolphins effort.

    It likely wouldn't work in Scotland but it would be an interesting thing for a club to try for 2 or 3 seasons to see the fan reaction.
