[SmokieJoe]

I was trying to explain some hibs stuff to one of my daughters the otherday and got hacked off, i ended up typing 'hibernian firsts' into google.

As well as the obligotry first goal and first in european footy etc...

Hibs second ever kit back in the late 1870's was a green and white horizontal striped top?? and they call themselves the hoops...Lawl. tell that to you're tic colleagues.

lots of good stuff to pass on to the younger generation/s

I knew this, and Septic stole them off our washing line :grr:

Don't suppose anybody has a photo of this? Never actually seen the kit just knew the fact.
