I remember getting one of the purple track suits for a birthday or Christmas when I was knee high. Loved it :greengrin

[Hibernia&Alba]

Home shirt is smashing. Away shirt.....naw!

The away shirt was the dog's danglies back in the day :agree:

[London Hibs FC]

The home version was my first ever Hibs Top, didn't have it off my back (day or night) for, at least, three years!!

[HFC07]

it would be better with short sleeves

[HibbyKeith]

it would be better with short sleeves

^ Proof that folk from Aberdeen are hard as nails when it comes to the weather...

My first thought when I looked at the link was.. "ohhh long sleeves... cosy" :greengrin

[.Sean.]

I'm gonna get them for myself and my dad, well smart.

[franco]

I Remember getting the strip from my brother for my xmas that year was well smart:agree:

[jodjam]

I used to love that purple top.

The home one was my first ever top anaw, my mum just handed me pictures of me in it the other day. I'm having those again, the away one is still awesome!!

[gringojoe]

Original version was made or the jaggiest material ever rubbed your nipples to shreds!

[bod]

i had the shiney yellow 3rd strip.
who's the player in the picture ?

[Greendreamer]

This was my first Hibs kit too. I recall this being purchased with the shorts and socks also. If my memory is correct i was after a no 7 to be stitched on and we visited at least 6 shops without success, ended up with a no 5 instead. Which again, if my memory is working George Stewart was the holder of that number at the time.

Being from outwith the capital growing up in Perth I was the only lad running around in the glorious green, I got used to some abuse which I still get now.

I have a collection of strips in the house from the 80's onwards.

The 'bukta' one was always a fav.

Aye, You have me to thank for that top and for making you a good Hibby.:thumbsup:

[ano hibby]

I remember getting one of the purple track suits for a birthday or Christmas when I was knee high. Loved it :greengrin

As did I. Loved it. I remember not long after i got it, before primary school one morning changing out of normal school clothes round the corner from house & putting on the full purple shiny tracksuit & going off to school proud as punch. The teacher must have wondered what the hell was going on but i'm sure i would have won 'world cup' in the playground that lunchtime.:greengrin
Happy days. :agree:

Going to get one of those strips also as also my first strip.:agree:

[Speedway]

As an owner of an original, I can second this.

The home top is the wrong green as usual.

[Sudds_1]

I'm probably in the minority..........but that shirt is one I have always thought was absolutely honkin! :rolleyes::cb

[Peevemor]

:agree: :boo hoo:

[Hibernia&Alba]

I love the 1902 shirt. Stick white sleeves on that and bring it out next season! :not worth

[leemel]

Agreed

[Greentinted]

The purple shirt was my first ever Hibs top, loved it then as I do now.

The mists of time have clouded my recall somewhat but am I right in thinking that this was the home strip for television?

Something about not allowing sponsored shirts on the box. Effectively we were the first to have 4 (including a yellow version) distinct strips in the one season.

Anyone got a picture of the original, not under floodlights and soaked in sweat (which would obviously look darker)? Sure someone here had a pic of the home and away on coat-hangers. Would be nice to compare them to the new ones. :agree:

[allezsauzee]

Superb top! Wish they would do the purple bukta tracksuit as well.

[Saorsa]

That home top was the 1st one I ever had. I may be in a minority here but I dinnae like purple strips, didnae like it then, dinnae like them now. I may buy that home top. :agree:

[Hibby Bairn]

Don't know why but I always think of Rikki Fleming when I see this top.

A few crackers in here as well http://www.flickr.com/photos/aberdeenfc/sets/72157608571023925/detail/ (ignore URL..it is Hibs).

That's Blockbusters!

[Lungo--Drom]

The away shirt was the dog's danglies back in the day :agree:

Totally agree. I've havered on about it for years. Sometimes wonder if I just imagined it all, even tried to get them to bring back purple as an away colour :agree:

It's probably my ageing eyesight but the purple appears affy (brace yourselves) blue on the Toffs website.

Doesn't matter, am getting one, that'll be my new top for 2012/13.

Didn't they make a film about the away matches that season? Think it was called The Color Purple (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Color_Purple_%28film%29) :greengrin

:thumbsup: That purple one looks great with the yellow detail on the sleeve.

Not a fan of retro tops that aren't endorsed by the original manufacturer as it feels like there's something missing so its great to get something that looks like the original.

No doubt there will be a few of us preparing to explain away an £80 hole in the bank balance!:greengrin

[IWasThere2016]

Classics :agree:

Like Mikey I got the purple tracky fae Santa - along wi' the home strip. There was also a pair of Peter Bonetti goalie gloves - in fetching brown and biege. What a combo with the green and purple :faf:

[London Hibs FC]

Aye, You have me to thank for that top and for making you a good Hibby.:thumbsup:

Aye, thanks for all the years of suffering Pop :wink:

[Andy74]

That home top was the one that made me a Hibby. Need to buy that.

Ordered a home shirt a month ago - Toffs say not in stock , on back order, a full month has passed since it was ordered

Thanks for the memories. That was my favourite top, the one without the advertising logo.


Oh and the score at that game was 2-1 Hibs, with Rae(I think) scoring the winner with a 20 yard thunderbolt. :thumbsup:

[StevieC]

i had the shiney yellow 3rd strip.
who's the player in the picture ?

Me too .. I was kinda hoping that it was one of the options in the OP

I was thinking. Was the purple strip what was known as "the TV strip", it didn't have the word "Bukta" on it. I also think the sponsors logo (one of the first in British football" is too big. IIRC Tom Hart made big play on the fact that it was less than 10 inches high, meaning it met the SFA's criteria at the time.

[1two]

I'm sure theres a purple away top hanging up in the harp and castle

It's honking

[Hibernia Na Eir]

I've got a green beauty on order too, also ordered a month ago and got this response from Toffs:-

"the first batch of these are in production at
the minute and will cover your order,
it should be back in stock and
despatched in around two weeks. If
we can do anything else to help
please advise."



that was almost 2 weeks ago, so should be here next week.

[Sweep]

Got home from work tonight and there it was, sitting on the settee. I was delighted but my wife took one look, said oh aye and continued watching judge judy. Women :confused:

Green Bukta shirt arrived yesterday - spot on replica of the original , all it needs is Schaedler 3 on the back of it, or Blackley 6, or Temperley 12, so many to choose from

[Saorsa]

I'd forgotten about this, just ordered mine (green strip) today, hopefully they'll have some in stock and I'll no have tae wait too long :thumbsup: :greengrin

[Billy Whizz]

Why don't the club sell some of these in the shop, definitely missing a sales opportunity

think Toffs keep all the rights and only sell from their website.
Only ever seen Score Draw gear in the likes of Burton's/HMV.
