New kit supplier - Nike (merged)

[hibees4life89]

Hibs 3 year deal with puma will come to an end at the end of this season.

Anyone head any news if this will be extended or a new a deal with a new supplier will be made?

[SouthMoroccoStu]

Adidas deal on the cards

Just pub chat but from a decent source

Not minded the puma efforts - big fans of this years ones

This year's tops are the best for a long time, especially the home one. Would be happy with Puma again to be honest, although the thought of a top similar to the late 80's/early 90's but in the current shade of green has me seeping somewhat.

[edinburghhibee]

I've really enjoyed the puma shirts great fit and I think they have been different to what we usually get. I'd like hibs to stick with them but if someone else pays more money for the privilege to make the hibs tops then great!

[ian cruise]

Really not a fan of most recent/current Adidas tops so I'm hoping not.

[Pretty Boy]

Whatever pays the most cash for me.

Obviously It's a balancing act between cash up front and potential sales. Think a recognised brand like Adidas or Puma is guaranteed to sell well though, as long as the shop actually stocks sizes people want!

[hfc rd]

I really like the puma shirts that we have had in the recent past. This seasons home and away looks top notch. If we are going to be getting a new sports sponsorship, I hope it is either Nike or Adidas.

[hibees4life89]

Ive been very impressed with the puma tops myself. Although i think there sizes are a bit funky. Usually been a medium but a large in the puma and Ive heard alot of other folk say the same thing about their sizes

Id really like to see the bottle green colour stay going forward.

[Hibee_Dave]

I think we're doing well with puma just now - the kits look great this season although the training gear is really bad.

Adidas are a great brand but the strips they've made for Aberdeen and hearts this season are pretty dull - the away tops for both those teams are pretty much the same. The hearts tops, naturally, would look cheap regardless of who's making them but this seasons efforts must have taken all of 2 seconds to design - nothing special at all. At least, certainly this year, the puma kit is only for us - I don't see any of the other teams with puma deals having a top like ours which is good as well - shows they're actually considering what they're doing for us rather than just using the same template for everyone.

[PeterboroHibee]

I think the design of this years kit is good, but I dont really like the way the kits are made (the sleeves in particular look ridiculous!). Id rather we had someone like LCS again, I liked most of those kits and did we not have a lot more input into the design of those kits (rather than just getting a standard design off a Puma distributor)?

[Hibbyradge]

Donnay.

[DAVE1875]

Both Edinburgh teams on Adidas deals? :hmmm:


Personally for me it's between Nike, Adidas & a possible extension to the Puma deal


However I would like to see what brands such as Kappa, Under Armour, Umbro & Macron could offer us.


Also hope we keep the bottle green, prefer it so much to the greens we've had the previous years

Aren't Hearts kits just generic Adidas kits that they've bought in rather than having had them designed for them, hence them being rather plain and dull?

[DarrenSQH]

We should wait until we have won the spl and qualified for the champions league. Should get a much better deal at that point! Lol

[Franck Stanton]

Aren't Hearts kits just generic Adidas kits that they've bought in rather than having had them designed for them, hence them being rather plain and dull?

Just like their team then eh.

[SMAXXA]

Donnay.

Osmond?

[jamieross]

It wont happen as we dont get our strips directly off manufacturers but some of the home tops the Werder Bremen have been pretty nice, obviously not for the purists but would be nice to see on a hibs top.

[jacomo]

To be fair, ours are based on the Spurs kit.

[cocopops1875]

To be fair, ours are based on the Spurs kit.

to be fair its not :wink:

[jamieross]

To be fair, ours are based on the Spurs kit.

The same Spurs that have Under Armour tops? :wink:

[ScottB]

To be fair, ours are based on the Spurs kit.

We have in the past shared the puma templates with other clubs.

This season Hearts got a load of maroon coloured adidas shirts and stuck their badge on them...

[Bad Habits]

Think I might have seen a thread on this before, but IIRC does our puma deal run out this year? and do we have a new manufacturer lined up already?

Sorry if this has already been discussed

[Pretty Boy]

There was a rumour flying around about Adidas or Macron iirc.

No idea what truth is in it though. Whatever is the best deal for the club suits me really

[Bad Habits]

would love macron, The villa kits are really nice this season.
Not too keen on Adidas though

[jamieross]

I know Adidas usually use templates for teams like us but id still rather have that than a Macron kit, theyre boakin.:sick:

Ultimately though, id like to see the best deal for the club, be it less upfront and better looking kits for more sales or not.

[bingo70]

I hope whoever gives us the best deal gets it, don't really care if that's puma, adidas, macron or primark.

[SouthMoroccoStu]

I hope whoever gives us the best deal gets it, don't really care if that's puma, adidas, macron or primark.

Would be brilliant to get the hibs shirt for £3!!!

[Jamesie]

would love macron, The villa kits are really nice this season.

Unless the football kits are of a different quality then anyone who has had a good look at an Edinburgh Rugby shirt would not want Macron anywhere near our kit. Screen printed nylon t-shirts.

[LaMotta]

Really? The Villa away kit (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Macron-Aston-Villa-Away-Shirt-2012-2013-Mens-Green-/350651232872)is ****** horrid :shocked:

[GreenCastle]

Hopefully the best deal for the club but I can't see Macron selling as many kits compared to Puma / Adidas / Nike.

[Bad Habits]

Really? The Villa away kit (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Macron-Aston-Villa-Away-Shirt-2012-2013-Mens-Green-/350651232872)is ****** horrid :shocked:

Haha that's honkin to be fair. However the home kits nice and I like the lazio and Napoli kits. I think they're a little different to the usual template kits we get. Saying that even down here in England the current home kit gets a lot of compliments.... So we'll see I suppose

[IWasThere2016]

Sticking with the DARK green would be a good start :agree:

[GlenrothesHibee]

Sticking with the DARK green would be a good start :agree:
Agreed. Best looking strip we've had in years.

[sbell1875]

Personally I think our Puma kits have been decent. This seasons home kit, and 2 seasons ago mint kit stick out in my mind.

But as per the earlier posts, whichever deal is best for the club would suit me.

[Pretty Boy]

Sticking with the DARK green would be a good start :agree:

I'd like to see us go just a bit lighter.

Something like the early 70s colour, proper emerald green but definitely darker than the garish green that became the trend the few years before this one.

[Jones28]

I like puma, would stick with them quite happily, they seem to have made a lot of effort with our tops this season.

[RyeSloan]

How do you come to this conclusion. I work for Nike. And can't see it happening unless it's goin too be like the same thing as. Dundee united.

Arent most clubs in Scotland on the same sort of deal as Utd, where theyre supplied through a shop/supplier rather than straight from the manufacturer like Celtic get?

[cocopops1875]

Yeah the difference is that Hibs as opposed to a Sunday league side can choose a bespoke colour way due to the number of shirts ordered but essentially it's the same idea as you going into Colin Campbell's and buying 18 Adidas tops then getting someone to print them up you like Hibs don't deal with Adidas/Nike/Puma

[darrenmcintosh2]

Heard a few rumors regarding the new hibs kit manufacturer being Nike.

Can any1 shed some light on the situation

Rumors?

wish they get rid of the bottle green and get back to emerald green, doesnt clash with other teams in the dark:flag:

Which emerald green though? The one from the 70's which was closer to the current strip colour or the one from recent years which was far too light?

A Nike deal like Celtic or a Nike deal like Aberdeen

Because there is a big difference!

As long a hibs get the best deal possible I don't care who supplies the kit

TBH it's pretty hard to tell from that

[StevesFamau5]

doubtful. just like most large sports companies nike outsource shirt making for smaller clubs to a third party just like puma do. in fact chances are its the same company who will dew nike onto hibs tops instead of puma. :)

Would be a Dundee united deal tho unless Nike football want too break Edinburgh. As they do with all the big city's. Manchester London Liverpool Glasgow

[darrenmcintosh2]

Here's hoping. Cause Nike gas just announced a deal too take over Blackburn rovers kit Manufacture. Especially with the yams wearing Adidas it would make sense. Would sellalot of replica and training. Must admit puma training wear isn't the best so a Nike deal would not only look good but make us a wee bit revenue.

Is that (the blackburn deal) not just part of Nike pretty much doing away Umbro ?
ps never really thought of the major cities thing Barca, Milan and Paris too

Yea but they have only took England Fa and Blackburn. So far. Yea the major city thing . A deal that includes Edinburgh big thumbs up.

[Scouse Hibee]

Can we not change the colour altogether and get away from this pishy green.

[Jones28]

I don't see anything wrong with puma tbh, they certainly got it right this season

Yea man city aswell their new kit is the most basic kit I have seen in years.

[Sweet Left Peg]

I couldn't care less what strip we play in as long as we play proper football. Nike might well give us a bit more exposure or produce a better looking kit but if we don't improve the style of football then we are not going to progress as a club.

Simplicity is good, for me, when it comes to football strips.

[hungryhibs]

it dose not matter what supplier we have its not going make the team play any better but on that note iv bought me and y son both stripps and some training wear no matter who make it ill buy it as long as it helps my team out but they have to take a look at there stock control in the shop a couple of weeks after the new strip come out was going buy my old man a top and they had no l or xl and where not getting the back in what a lot of crap

[jamieross]

I like most Nike kits but the problem with a team like us getting a deal to use Nike is that we'll get the pishy templates that every other team has. It wont be the custom kits that Celtic, Arsenal, Manure etc get. Its a shame because i feel puma had just started getting it right with this seasons kits. Either way, i'll still buy it to help the clubs funds.

The shirt was a standard amateur club Kit that Nike produced in the 90's I spotted it in a shop in France and couldn't resist. I picked up the badge off ebay a year or so later and got the Mrs to sew it on for me. I've confused a few people by wearing it :greengrin.

But I have no doubt that hibs and rod will get us the best deal possible for a club our size with our supporter base.

[darrenmcintosh2]

Cheers moroco. Nah think the Adidas thing would be pants us and them wearing the same kit just diff colour. I wouldn't purchase that.

Come on rod gt us a sweet Nike deal. :).

The green should be somewhere between the current Bottle Green and the Too Light Green of recent seasons.

Maybe something like this (http://mrdouglasanderson.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/stanton.jpg)

[yeezus.]

I liked the 2006/07 tops by Lecoqsportif - especially that yellow away top with the green stripe down the front. :agree:

Also a big fan of last years home strip, I don't often wear it because of the bad memories though.

[sbell1875]

I bought the Plymouth Argyle home shirt on Tuesday night. £14.99 and paid with PayPal, was here on Thursday. In Easter Road clubstore on Monday and I wanted the yellow 3rd kit and it was still £29.99 The Plymouth top is the exact same shade of green but I would say it is an even poorer quality than our home shirt season but I do like it. Cool local sponsor with Bond Timber as well!

[Diclonius]

Bottle green again this year please.

[hibsbollah]

Is it hummel? No?

Thats all that concerns me :aok:

[WestEndHibee]

At the moment it's only Liverpool and Sporting Club Emelec (Ecuador) that they make kits for but they've already signed deals for Sevilla, Sagan Tosu (japanese team) and Randers FC from Denmark so it looks like they're expanding. The Liverpool one is nice and plain and the Emelec one would be nice if plain (white sash across a blue top) but is slightly off imho.

[cocopops1875]

I'm not a Liverpool fan by any stretch of the imagination, but thought this seasons home and goalkeeper shirts were fantastic, a real nod back to classic 70s or 80s designs, and judging by the "leaked" pics for next season this is something they will be continuing with.
The other thing I like is they seem to employ a traditional Home shirt, Fairly calm away shirt and Totally Mental 3rd shirt system which I think is decent and will help keep things fresh.
The only real issue I have is the Tribal Tattoo Designs they seem to enjoy so much on the sleeves

I'm slightly confused by your point to be honest from a design point of view the Liverpool home and goalkeeper by warrior is exactly the same as the Spurs home and goalkeeper by Under Armour.
I actually think this could be a really good move for us, as in football terms this is only Warriors second season and still only involved with a few clubs so we still have a good chance of getting a tailor made bespoke design (obviously I don't know this) rather than a template.
Also they are investing a fair bit in football their range of boots is of a very high standard (one design is horrendous but obviously meant to be noticed) and the have got a hold of Umbros Goalkeeper Glove Designer and again put out a really high quality glove that em stands out.
In conclusion I think they will do everything they can to give us what we want as getting roundly panned at this stage of their "soccer" business build up would not be a great move

I've had a wee search of the Liverpool shirts and I would be more than delighted if these were our strips next season (obviously in our colours. I no sure how to change the colours have tried but made an arse of it)

Not seen this posted before or if it has I haven't seen it but what's the scoop with our Kit sponsor for next year. A new deal with Puma or something else. A mate of mine said we might be going for Warrior who do Liverpools kits. Anyone know anything?

[Leishy1995]

I know from people who had to order strips for teams they were ordering from nike

[darrenmcintosh2]

Looks like Lycra belongs in the green power ranger

[joe breezy]

I was listening to a football phone in down south and there was a Liverpool fan saying Warriors tops are terrible

I'm not usually a fan of replica top but seeing as I'm going on holiday soon tempted to buy what may be the best Hibs top for a long time.

The current top is the best ever since I was born. Early 70s tips were cool but the current colour is the best of the modern era.

[joe breezy]

Looks like the Hibs tops have sold oot, ach well at least I got my Welsh pal one for his wee laddie in the valleys.

There's already a Warriors thread which I should have added to rather than starting a new yin

[hibees4life89]

Still no work on who our new Kit supplier will be yet? In sure the tache will get the best deal the club can.

[Disc O'Dave]

Donnay.

Donnay no gae that?

[Bristolhibby]

I think we're doing well with puma just now - the kits look great this season although the training gear is really bad.

Adidas are a great brand but the strips they've made for Aberdeen and hearts this season are pretty dull - the away tops for both those teams are pretty much the same. The hearts tops, naturally, would look cheap regardless of who's making them but this seasons efforts must have taken all of 2 seconds to design - nothing special at all. At least, certainly this year, the puma kit is only for us - I don't see any of the other teams with puma deals having a top like ours which is good as well - shows they're actually considering what they're doing for us rather than just using the same template for everyone.

Motherwell?

Reading the thread about possible new shirt suppliers led me to have a look at the Portland Timbers website. It's amazing how quickly you can feel an affinity to a team just because they wear the same strip as Hibs !

Might be a lot of fun to have some sort of official ties to Portland, maybe invite them over for a pre-season friendly.

Worth having a watch of some of their highlights which are available on the website.

Below is a link to a recent 3-3 draw with another team that has Hibs connections.. San Jose Earthquakes. I can still remember that match we played mid-season in 1981 pretty well..seem to remember it was a draw with us coming back from a couple of goals down..or am i making that up ??

We should 'do a Grimsby' from a few years ago where they had their kit supplier make two mock-ups and asked the fans to vote the winner through the official website.

That became their strips for the year and gave them an idea of initial sales. Kind of like how Cowell does it with his new acts.

I really hope that we keep the bottle green for a number of years. Saw someone wearing last year's strip last week, and it just doesn't look right IMO.
