Seen Hibs name anywhere unusual?

[The Pointer]

Right, just to lift the mood amongst all that angst and wailing and gnashing of teeth.

My avatar is 'Hibs' (with a wee heart (how ironic) above the 'i') which I saw sprayed on a rubbish bin outside the Picasso Museum in Barcelona last year. I always wondered what would make a Catalonian/Spaniard do that, but could it have been a piece of spontaneous street art reaction to the high art inside? Maybe his bird was called 'Hibs'.

Anyone else ever seen anything similar here or abroad in random circumstances?



Edit. Just realised what the title is suggesting but on you go!

[3pm]

The most random place I ever saw Hibs was in the top 6 about four years ago! :o)

[Scouse Hibee]

Top half of the table after the split!

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

If you look closely at the back of Abi Titmuss' thong in "that" video you can clearly see the letters HFC sewn into the back of it.

Last weekend in the Gents at the Golden Fleece in York, scrawled in black felt pen across the machine in the toilet "HIBEES".

Approx 15 years ago our ferry back from France had been cancelled due to bad weather - walking across the departure area in pissin rain and gales I bumped into a soaking wet guy in the old purple Hibs Bukta strip, he was looking for a bus!

2 Years ago in Amalfi Italy written on municipal bus station wall - "HFC 7-0 on New Years Day".

Whilst walking through Sofia, the capital city of Bulgaria around the year 2000, I stumbled upon a sports shop selling Le Coq Sportif merchandise.

As Hibs were using LCS strips at the time I went inside for a look - lo and behold, they were selling official Hibernian training tops.

Maybe there's a big Hibs following in Eastern Europe......

[Lucius Apuleius]

A street market in Monkey Village on Bonny Island had if memory serves me correctly, a PD windows strip hanging up for sale.

Last summer I was driving along the road between Old Leake and Boston and passed a cyclist in a Hibs top - I think he had the number 33 on the back, and it has to be said he was toiling badly. Wasn't you was it?

[Pretty Boy]

'01/01/73' scrawled on the toilet wall in the Cleveland Arms near Paddington Station in London.

'Hibees' also on a toilet wall in the Kings Head in Horncastle, Lincolnshire.

Seen quite a few Turkish barmen/waiters wearing Hibs tops when I was last on holiday there a couple of years back. Assuming they have been given them by Hibs fans on holiday.

You were about 30 miles too far north for me - the toiling badly in a Hibs strip bit would be right though :greengrin

I cycle all around South Lincs between Stamford and Spalding typically, have done Boston a couple of times but its murder - all flat but you always seem to be cycling into the wind! I am always in a Hibs top - often a number 10 or 4 70's style top. On my journeys I have bumped into quite a few hibbies in Lincs and Norfolk but rarely see them more than once!. There's 3 definite Hibbies nearby and a group of about 6 who I force to show an interest and who do actually get to a few games - mostly because Edinburgh has better pubs that Deeping St. James:greengrin

I did once see a lot of Hibs colours in Boston but the Pilgrims were playing Bradford Park Avenue and they once played in green panels and white sleeves apparently.

Hibs was written all over the toilets in Simple Bar in Ibiza when I was young.
More recently I was surprised to see Hibs written in the toilets of a boozer in Mull.

[hibIBZ]

On holiday in salou and in a tourist shop there was a small hibs clock made out of metal sitting alongside other clocks with the top European teams on them. Surprised to see there wasn't 1 for the yams, thought they were a top side pushing to win the champions league.

And on holiday in Bulgaria there was a Bulgarian pr guy that had the luminous yellow and black away top on one day

There is two... It'll be either Space Mountain or Thunder Mountain :wink:. You will also see mentions of just Hibs in Universal, The upside down house on International Drive, Sea World, Busch Gardens, Epcot and Disney MGM.

Also if you go to Tenerife - Los Cristianos (check behind the pictures on the wall) and outside the Rangers pub across the road from the hotel, The Del Cooper in Amsterdam (behind a picture)...

On holiday in the Dominican Republic in late 90's I saw a young local lad wearing a Hibs top. I didn't get a chance to speak to him at the time and forgot all about it. It was only after Latapy came to ER that I remembered the lad and thought that this was possibly the Caribbean connection. But it couldn't have been as our holiday was before Latapy's arrival. The only other connection I could make was the other Trinidadian,Tony Rougier. Or maybe the guy had swapped tops or pinched it from a visiting Hibby.

[MoscowHibs]

I remember coming across a " Hibernian F.C. Edinburgh Scotland " written in big black letters on a bog door at Krasnoyarsk airport in Russia.Even stranger was the bloke wearing a Dundee top propping up the bar at same Airport, who was away tae Siberia for his holidays. Guy was 2 short o a six pack imo.

[Peevemor]

At the legendary Olympia Music Hall in Paris, on top of a suspended ceiling tile in one of the changing room cludgies, is written "Hibernian FC, Edimbourg" together with "hi-bees ya bas!" for good measure.

Apparently. :whistle:

Mickey Weir Probably.:greengrin He has definitely been to Rotterdam.

I was in a club in Tokyo in the mid 90's, young Japanese dude had a retro hibs top & a trilby on. A bit worse for wear & missing home I stoated over to compliment him on his attire..boy sh** himself and to this day I don't know if he thought I was chatting him up or trying to start a pagger :greengrin

In 1998 I surveyed a Newsagents for a wee shopfit job in Spen Lane, Middle Earth, Leeds. HIBS was boldly sprayed on the wall outside. I enthused at the Landlord but it had been there years and he had inherited it. I like to think it is a 73/74 YLT bootboy classic. I still have a hard copy of my photo.

I remember when I was away for a wee trip to Dublin, must have been about 10 years ago, I saw a big sign in green on a white back ground, it said Hibernian, we won't let you down, I though lying bar stewards, it was for an insurance company, maybe someone could remind me of the area of Dublin and if its still there? The sign was massive!

The 'Hulla poro' hotel nightclub toilets in Lapland, Finland had HFC Scotland on the back of the door. I bow to the feet of whoever did that :)

[Sir David Gray]

On holiday in Orlando many years ago (probably the late 90s), I was in a sports shop and, amongst other things, they were selling Hibs shorts.

It was the ones we used to wear that had the word "Hibs" all over them, designed into the material.

I bought them and still have them somewhere.

I once saw the name Hibernian, in black Times New Roman font in an old newspaper. It was printed above lots of other teams in a kind of table and we had the letter (c) after our name.

Hibernian Insurance was swallowed up by the Aviva group I think (Norwich Union). In the late 90s I was up for a contract job with another guy. I got sent to Bank Of Ireland and he got the Hibernian gig. Gutted. As I was hoping to blag Hibernian umbrellas and various other tat.

Don't know if the sign is still there - but I doubt it.

Now this I have also done, In my job I sometimes have parents visit my house. I remember this one was male and a jambo full of himself as usual. So when Alex Miller took us to the final and won it I was decorating the living room at the time, so I decided to paint right across the wall Hibernian Fc League Cup Winners not a happy chappy when he came to visit and stuck the game on as well just for good measure.
The next people in the house were jambos as well :greengrin
