Wore a bukta replica at the semi final and got a lot of positive remarks from those of us of a certain age who remember that top ... Surely worth reinstating ???? GGTTH

Definitely. The purple strip from last season (I think) was beautiful.

I've just invested in the green and purple striped away top from the 90's to wear at the final. First Hibs kit I've bought since the original black one in 2005 but would invest in any new purple top in a flash.

Last years one had sold out by the time I could afford it :(

Not for me, best left in the past with memories of being beaten by Ayr at hampden looking like ribena berries. I did have the 92-93 replica though, think it might still be in the loft actually.

I wore the bukta purple number as well. Was a bittight though.

Planning on the skol cup shirt, actual not the anniversary one, for the final.

About time we had a decent purple top again. Oozes class.

So did I but to get the best effect you had to put the room light off and so every time somebody had an Eskillsson moment the ball disappeared into the darkness :greengrin

That was the cheapest looking kit i think we ever had. It collapsed after a couple of washes. No surprise Bukta went belly up at the end of that year:agree:

Purple Hibs strips and Subbuteo....

....childhood memories from the late seventies :greengrin



Here's a REAL test for those of you that claim to be experts in Subbuteo. What was the code number for the Hibs team?

I remember the first wave of purple in the early 70s. I don't think I ever saw Hibs win wearing it.

Tom Hart decreed purple to be the "trendy colour" that year so it had to be. What he lacked in fashion sense he made up for in business acumen!

I still pick that number if playing the lottery or something where numbers are asked.
Would be great to see the Subbureo poster that you could get all the kit numbers shown. Last one I seen had over a 100 wee players with the kit numbers beside them. That wasn't yesterday though !

Just took delivery of my new George Best Signature 1980 top for the final and it's the dug's baws......complete with authentic itchy material. Think a vest will be the order of the day to avoid bloody nipples!

Purple, Green and White is a great colour combo IMO, Yellow is frought with disaster (hope we dont have to wear this for the final, but would see them play in ****ing maroon if they would just win the ******) Black is hard to get wrong, they need to get some sac about them and get a three tone shirt as discussed out for next year. Would also like to see them stick with darker green you cant really go too dark but as last years acid green rag proved you can indeed go too light.

Haven't seen the ones at the club store. I got it from Toffs. £40 plain or £50 with Best's signature on the front and number 11 on the back. It doesn't show it in the picture but it also has the old "crown and ball" badge on the left breast.

Dont get the love in some folk have for the Green & Purple striped top ......... it sucked ... and I had one :greengrin

The deep Purple top we had a few years back was beautiful and as good an away top as Hibs have ever had. Hate those wishy washy Mauve strips we have had a couple of times too.

But for me Purple will always be Hibs true away colour.

Hummmmph !

I'm sure one of my daughters has a purple away strip from around 10/12 years ago or so. Did we wear it against Ayr when we lost the CIS semi under Sauzee?

Meybes too many years of pain, but I seem to remember Partick humping us 6 - 1 one mid-week at ER with Tony Higgins et al in resplendent purple.

Agreed, I had this as well but it was an awful strip. I like the first purple one we had in the 90s though.

My fav away top is the white 85 insave one.
