Anyone heading round to the Shop tomorrow night

[Gatecrasher]

to get the new top?

[SteveHFC]

I might.

[HH81]

What if they open the doors and there is not one person there :greengrin

Does it really matter getting it at 12am or just waiting till the next day. :confused:

Got a feeling this is going to be the design though http://www.burnleyfootballclub.com/page/LatestHeadlines/0,,10413~2379764,00.html

[HibsMax]

Anyone want to buy me a top (large please)? :not worth

EDIT : seriously. I'll compensate you handsomely i.e., cost + shipping rounded UP to the next full pound.

[hfc rd]

Might go up. Want to see what the design looks like first.

[HibsMax]

Change of plan, I've ordered mine already.

Just a quick note for those of you who might consider pre-ordering. I am using FireFox 4. I entered my order details and when I reviewed them I noted that my e-mail address was .cmo instead of .com. No worries, I clicked [Amend Details] to fix it BUT I was directed to an empty form and had to enter all the details again! So, just to be on the safe side, pay close attention to what you enter before proceeding to the checkout and save yourself some unnecessary typing. Or just don't make any typos.

Another small gripe. 5 quid to add the sponsors patch?!?!? I wanted that but really? I thought sponsors paid to advertise, not the other way around? So no patch for me.

[cocopops1875]

Would that not be the league patches ?

[HibsMax]

Would that not be the league patches ?

Nope....I mean, Yes. :wink:


Finish the look? You can add official sponsor sleeve patches to this product for £5.00

[Removed]

Would that not be the league patches ?

I'd say League sponsors. Clydesdale Bank. Always been an extra.

[cocopops1875]

Nope....

Aye as I said league patches ;-) nice of you to provide the quote that says I'm right while you tell me I'm wrong

[HibsMax]

Aye as I said league patches ;-) nice of you to provide the quote that says I'm right while you tell me I'm wrong

Website says sponsor badges (nothing about league in the quote so surely you can understand my confusion? post edited). You said league badges. 65bd says league sponsor badges. You're right and I'm right, we're all right. Still doesn't explain why we should PAY to advertise for them....

[cocopops1875]

It's revenue for the league and club its an optional extra like names and numbers not everybody wants them I usually go for it as I keep the shirts and it matches the season(they change them every so often) but very few leagues shirts have them as standard Spain and usa are 2 that spring to mind that do but certainly in the mls there is no company attached it simply says mls

[Hibs90]

to get the new top?

Nope, just us :agree::wink:

[HibbyKeith]

Don't think there will be many there at all if they don't release images first.

[Ed De Gramo]

I might go up and get the home top :greengrin

Seriously though, I'm thinking about going up to get it

[Speedway]

to get the new top?

Not sure, what does it look like?

[green leaves]

If CC does go,wonder if the opening goes ahead?Might turn into a wee protest.

[aberhibsfc]

I'm going to put a request out for my birthday next month. Got some birthday's before my own so I'll be too skint just now. It's that time of year for me just now.

Don't all pile in, I know this sounds a wee bit sad, but I am looking forward to the new FIFA on PS3, I think the two-tone green strip is going to look good in game and looking forward to GO'C battering through the SPL defences.

Any incling as to the colour of the away strip as yet, I've heard some mumblings about it being black but nothing conclusive. A reverse of the home would do me fine with a 3rd black with some of the two-tone greens in the shoulders/arms. Just have to wait and see I suppose.

[one day maybe...]

Don't think there will be many there at all if they don't release images first.

I tend to agree, maybe 300-400 max.. If its pish how disappointed will they be, its a strange marketing ploy by Hibs. If the strip is good it wil sell (regardless of the marketing strategy) if its gash it won't. Thousands are not going to flock to ER to get first dibs on it far from it.

[Dashing Bob S]

A dark green silk Hibernian cravat with DBS monogramed tastefully onto it would be my dream purchase.


Why can't the Hibs shop show some imagination in club wear?

I held faint hope when they did the Barbours, Bob. The last thing I ever puchased from the shop in fact along with a nice grey lambswool scarf.

[DAVE1875]

Have the shop windows been blacked out so no one can see the dummies being kitted up?... And of course the mannequins will also have the kits put on them :duck:

They've blacked out the windows at tynecastle too whilst they prepare their next statement. Something to do with JJ and BB running a brothel within the Robertson Suite i'm hearing.

woops typo lol.

will you be fighting the crowds the night jamie to get your hands on a strip?

[DAVE1875]

Don't think I can be bothered if they aren't going to let us see it beforehand to be honest.

I would like it if they released an image on the website of a player (Most likely GO'C) mostly shadowed but you got a wee glimpse of the kit, not alot so you get a very good idea what it looks like but a tiny wee glimpse.

Think that would be quite smart with the colours it appears we will be getting.

Havent bought a Hibs top in a few years so hoping this one looks smart! If its black thats a good start.

[HibsMax]

OK. I bought one yesterday (pre-order). I'll post a picture of it when I get it in 3 weeks time. Stay tuned.....

Only if they're not all sold out. Flying off the shelves like hot cakes I imagine. Or at least they will be in 40 minutes.

[Twiglet]

[hfc rd]

Either way - if you are buying it tonight please stick pics on.

Shiny sponsor makes it look like a bin bag :duck:

Tops ok but the transfer is rubbish, why a stick on transfer? Totally ruins the top and the bit on the back too.
Nice top but ruined by stupid transfers, wont be buying that unless you can buy it without the sponsors name.

[R'Albin]

As the man in my avatar would say....BANG TIDY!!:flag::flag::thumbsup:

[aussie_hibee]

I'm not 100% on it. if it's the green that was used in the old black strip then I think it will look ok but the green looks a bit light and the collar is awful. A bit disappointed as it's very rare for me not to love either home or away. I don't think the shiny crabbie's sponsor helps either. :-(

[GreenCastle]

Whose that player ??

Very similar to our last black effort - sponsor will probably come off after 3 washes but looks pretty smart if it ever gets worn :wink::greengrin

[Wotherspiniesta]

New signing wearing the top?

Can't think of many of our players with a big tattoo like that.

Not large enough to be Garry O.

the standard of the sponsor transfers gets worse every year, can only assume its because its cheaper to do. dont know what its called but a fair few years ago when the sponsor was Carlsberg i think, it was a raised sort of felt material.it stood the test of time far better than this stuff

[Iain G]

Hmmm, not really sure! I usually love our black away strips but this one isn't quite doing it for me, it may be that the sponsors logos detract from what would be a smart, simple design. Perhaps if they had lost the two green lines it would be fine, just feels a bit busy...

Now the big decision is which of the two do I hate the least :greengrin

[one day maybe...]

Not sure what it was either, a sort of felt type material but it was better than this stick on rubbish.
Personally I think the word Crabbies should have been in Green with just the letters and no border.

[Jamesie]

Gonna go against the flow here and say I'm not that big a fan of the new away top at all.

It feels pretty cheap and has that horrible sheen to it when it's in bright light that you often get with polyester. Maybe I'm just less brainwashed than I used to be but parting with £39.99 (OK, £29.99 when using the £10 money off voucher) for a top I wasn't convinced about didn't seem worth it.

The fact that they weren't doing printing tonight and you would have to go back tomorrow for that - coupled by the fact the queue was about 40 deep by this point - swung it for me and I left empty handed.

This is the cheapest sponsor transfer I've seen since the horrible blue Whyte & Mackay shield. Having it on the back of the neck too is pretty nasty IMHO.

I noticed tonight that there are versions of the home top available with "John Crabbies" as the logo instead of "Crabbies".

That'll be the kids version of the strip. John Crabbies is the non alcoholic version of the drink.

Thank god that rain held off until I got home :greengrin

[one day maybe...]

How much say do Hibs or Crabbies get in the overall final structure of the strip?

Because if I was the sponsor ploughing my cash into a football club I would be very dissappointed that the company name was going to look tattered/bitty or peel after 10 or so washes.
I never by t-shirts in clothes shops that have sticky transfers because i hate them for the very reason they do not wear well. So as I have said previously I really cannot seeing me buying this strip, unless it comes without the sponsors logo.
Such a shame as I do like the colours.

I used the voucher to buy the kids away strip earlier today, no socks though, seems a bit mad that they can't have socks ready in time! They can't print shirts today either.

It'll come without the sponsors logo on it if you wash it often enough. :wink:

[HibsMax]

Picked mine up from the Post Office today. Have to say that I like it. Not sure about the "poor quality" comments, this seems to be made of the same stuff as other tops I have. A few times through the wash will tell how good quality it is. So far I'm digging it!
