Hibernian Macron Kit 2017/18 - Any Updates?

[BlackSheep]

Anyone in the know had any updates from Hibs about next year's kit?

Would love to see it before the end of the season. I wonder what our deal is with Nike in terms of us wearing their kits for our last three games, i would love to see the new kit worn against St Mirren, i think some teams in the past in other leagues have revealed new kits on the last day of the season, but most likely the same kit manufacturer/technical sponsor.

A long shot i know but one can dream....

Even a teaser image would whet the appetite!

I just hope they keep it simple, not been a massive fan of the kits they've done for other teams

[Billychaotic182]

Kinda hoping for a white top with green sleeves and a green collar for the away kit. Our home top last year (cup winning top) is the best hibs top I've seen in years so something close to that I'll be happy!!

[Vault Boy]

I'm looking forward to seeing the new kits and gear to be honest, should be something quite different. The designs are all completed but I can't imagine we'll release it until the summer, hopefully a bit earlier than in previous years.

[hibsforeurope]

I'm sure it said the deal doesn't strart in till the 1st June, Nike/Just Sports will run until the 31st May so no new kit worn this season I'd guess.

I wonder if the white and yellow used in the season ticket campaigne and championship winning t-shirt has anything to do with the away colours.

Also, from what i can read online - our deal with Marathon Bet ends in June. Any word on whether or not they are likely to extend that deal?

Would love an extension of the deal as the engagement they've had with the fans IMO has been excellent and how you want a sponsorship deal to be

[since90plustwo]

Not sure about what the kits are going to look like but we are getting tier 2 gear unfortunately which most likely mean we will get generic strips

This is what held up the kit release last year as well...

Hope they get the business doen nice and early, no cup final or police investigation to get in the way of normal business this summer.

The original press release stated unique designs.

"We’ve worked closely with the club to design a set of unique kits which combine the performance elements required by modern day players along with the typical Italian stylish designs which we are sure the fans will appreciate.”

Have you heard otherwise?

[Diclonius]

I'd like to see a return of the bottle green again. All our best results in recent years have come from wearing a darker kit.

Hibs definitely have a lot of creative input and flexibility. It won't be catalogue kits.

A player told me & he was quite gutted about it

Seems to contradict what Greig Mailer has said about it, but a player is a rather good source

Agreed.

But if the it is in fact a catalogue kit then the fans wont be happy at a promise of a unique design not delivered.

Look at Greenock Morton this year, fans so unhappy they had to redesign their home kit....

If I am honest smaller clubs should put it to a vote every year with design options, that way they are likely to get more sales. I know a few fans who have not liked the kits from Nike and have chosen to keep wearing older kits to matches rather than buy a new one....

Hope its going to be different than puma & nikes ''unique'' down the slope & their memory marches on efforts

On a related note I popped into the club shop ready to part with £16 for a Champions t-shirt and they only have XXL in stock. The sooner justsport go the better.

I'm not sure a player is a great source for this kind of thing? Do they get to draw what they want the strip to look like in their lunch break or something?

We took a vote and (sadly IMHO) the lighter emerald green won

They see the strips early doors so asked him if he had seen/heard anyting said no but were only getting tier 2 gear - this could mean training gear and strips still specially made though

[leithsansiro]

I never understand why clubs don't have strips launched before the summer. Surely having replica strips on sale and available for golf to buy and wear over the summer (when it's actually nice enough to wear a tshirt out) is a good financial decision?

To be honest, any time I go abroad I tend to look out for replica tops from the local teams and I'm sure I can't be alone in this. Would be good if Hibs tried to tap into Edimburghs HUGE tourist market to promote our brand.

Agreed, pretty sure Herman teams wear them in their last home game. A friend of mine supports Oxford Utd and they have decided to do the same too. Think it's great to give fans a nice early look and get excited for the new season

Is that a hint about the colour of the green next season?

[Tamhere1875]

Word is the club are looking at a mid June release date

[CropleyWasGod]

If things pan out the right way in France, we could do a wee deal with the Elysee Palace. 😆

Makes sense. Macron has been busy of late.

Yeah my favourite Herman team is Munster, though they play the oval ball game mainly
