I have no idea.

Has either ever worn their away strip in a derby? Can't say I remember any.

I recall wearing the our white away top at at a home derby during the 80s. The only occasion I can recount.
The Jumbos aren't worthy of playing against the Famous GREEN JERSEYS!

Crossed my mind that the ref might tell us to wear our away kit tomorrow. Probably not but the dark green shirt and black socks might be dark enough to clash with their bloody turd coloured kit!

We wore our away kit at tynie once in the 80s. White shirt, green sleeves. Iain Munro, Alan Rough etc.

In the Sun this morning saying we are wearing Away kit due to both teams having white shorts/black socks.

Will be weird not wearing green against them. The away top is smarter anyway so not top fussed. Ridiculous situation though. Will clash with a few teams this season

Don't think it really matters what kit we're in. We are playing away, the away kit should be used.

They have a blue/white vertical stripes Argentina-esque away kit, according to wikipedia.

It's very difficult to tell the two strips apart on a black and white telly

Thanks
I'm sure we could have gone with dark shorts and different socks. Bit of a disappointment

There was a picture earlier in the week of an away kit having Kennedy 30 printed on the back with a caption next to it saying Kennedy's strip being printed for the weekends clash with Hearts so Yes certain we are wearing the away strip tomorrow.

We have to wear our away kit in a derby? Another reason to hate our abomination of a home strip.

Hibs wore all green in the 70s when Hearts wore an Ajax style top at ER, white sleeves clashed. Think we wore whote against them in the 80s once as well.

Tbh I can see why we need to wear our white top tomorrow. 2 teams in dark tops with white shorts and black socks would be a nightmare to tell apart at speed. Hope we wear the white kit a lot this season as it looks far better than the home effort.

From the official site:

From 2pm-3pm, Mark will be popping into the Clubstore to meet supporters, sign autographs and pose for photographs.
It's the perfect opportunity to pick up the latest merchandise (including the must-have brilliant white away shirt that Hibernian will wear at Tynecastle) and give Mark a good luck message ahead of Sunday’s Edinburgh Derby.

I think that was the white Frank Graham Adidas number.

I recall this, but was never able to find any proof.

Glad someone else remembers.

It won't matter, whatever they wear will be ghastly.

We'll only be wearing the home kit away from home against a few teams due to the shade of top. The last puma top we had was a nightmare because of that reason. It clearly clashed with the dark blues and maroons of other teams but was somehow allowed because we had white sleeves.

Maybe it's just me, as the Aston villa and stoke players were hard to tell apart in the game I've just watched.

That was the only thing Ajax style about them. :greengrin

I can remember when Hibs never had such a thing as an 'away' kit.

Only time we changed was in the event of a colour clash, and as Forfar were the only other team in Scotland with anything like our strip, it never was necessary.

Marketing tool only!

It's worse on the wireless!

I think we need one team to change. Both strips are so dark, it will be hard to tell them apart. I thought they were a bit too close last season, even with the white sleeves.

It's easy...the team in white are playing from left to right.

Hope we do wear the away strips. Pretty smart !!

Hibs wore the white change strip (with green sleeves), white shorts and white socks v them on 1.1.85. We lost 1-3. It was John Blackley's choice - don't recall his reason.

To bring a change of luck is what I remember. Was it mentioned on sky at all today?
