Apologies if this has been mentioned before but is there a new strip planned for next season? my son really wants to get one but I'm reluctant to buy one just now at full price if it ends up getting reduced soon to make way for one next season.

Thanks!

There is a new strip every season now. There was a vote about the shade of green earlier last year n iirc it was emerald green that won the vote. If im wrong im sure someone out there will correct me.

Was it?

I don't remember the outcome of that vote ever being announced. :dunno:

Likewise. I hope bottle green won, far prefer that shade of green.

I think the bottle green looks class but I can't be bothered with the darker top clashing with other teams any more.

Over the past few years I've struggled to tell us apart from Falkirk, Raith, Dundee - even Hearts on one occasion when they had white shorts.

So I want to go back to emerald.

Emerald Green strip would be a thing of beauty.

It was interesting to see the various bottle green efforts, some of them were nice. But now its time for Hibs to return to the green we all grew up with.

The dark green might have been our original colour, but for the likes of me and thousands of others the green worn by Hibs they day we first started following the club is Hibs green.

For me there are a couple of things the club need to pay attention to with the next strip.

1) .. A few times recently the shade of green chosen has been quite wishy washy ..... I want to see a deep emerald green, the strip worn by Hibs the night we crushed the Yams 6 - 2 is probably closest ..... I still own one, but it appears to have shrunk :dunno:

2) .. Don't mess with the sleeves .... I hate it when the white is extended up to the collar, and I detested that strip with the green stripes on the sleeves.

3) .. Hibs teams play in green socks with white tops ..... not black, not all green, but green with white tops !!!

4) .. Dare to match the home top with green shorts again and I swear I will pit a brick through the clubstore windae. :grr:

5) .. They can mess with the collar as much as they want ..... a rugby style 50s effort would be a nice change.

So to sum up: Green top with white sleeves, white shorts, green socks with white tops. That aside I'm no too fussed what the strip looks like :greengrin

It is the best kit we have worn in recent years, bar none. And it's bottle green.

Can some of the computer wiz kids post up some possible design templates.

Usually the Weder Bremen kits look pretty similar to Hibs kits.

Will there be a new away also ? Like the purple - but need to get a white top to avoid clashes with several teams who were dark kits.

If that's the famous ( infamous :greengrin ) Coventry strip from back in the day I remember them wearing it when they played us at ER ...... I actually thought it looked quite cool.

I do like bottle green but it feels like they always use a shade which is just slightly too dark

As for emerald green, what exactly are we talking about when we use that term? Is it the beautiful green we used in the B*tcher season or the minging (IMO) limy lighter green that we used for most seasons before that?

Personally I think we shouldn't use anything lighter than the green from the 2013/14 season but i also feel like this seasons kit is a bit too dark

Its an interesting debate...........I have always considered bottle green to be the correct shade - not least since my original hibs scarf (some 50 years old) is that shade....with the earlier crest too! Too scared to wear it to games now, might dissolve in the fresh air! :-)

Cant argue wi much of that........My Hibs green - i.e. the one grew up with - was bottle green. Later efforts - especially in the 80's - were frankly mingin! So something from bottle to dark emerald would be fine (I'm not gonna go all Gok Wan about it!)

........and keep the design classy and simple! You never know..might catch on! :-)

I think the answer is, if you like this seasons kit, buy it.

Personally I love the bottle green, but understand the practical and emotional arguments for an emerald strip. Especially with a crew neck collar!

Was that the pre-season tournament in 79 with Hibs, Hearts, Man City and Coventry City?

I was at the midweek game(s) of that tournament at Tynecastle, but they wore sky blue that day.

Jason Cummings might be interested to know that England legend Mick Channon, not a bad player in his day, missed an absolute open goal sitter in the Hibs v Man City game :greengrin

Agreed. Lovely strip. The 6-2 Le Coq Sportif strip is very similar (emerald green) and is also a beauty.

The home kit is iconic and belongs to us. Changing it is sacrilege IMO. F***y around with away kit or a mythical third kit if there is a chance to fill the coffers with a novelty.

Agreed. The modern trend or need for a new strip every season has led to some abominations. The two tone green effort will not be sought after by retro Hibees in 30 years. Also, the socks should always be green with white tops. Never liked the white socked look.

Won't quote all of Nae Nookie's original post but I agree with his summing up for the home kit.

"So to sum up: Green top with white sleeves, white shorts, green socks with white tops. That aside I'm no too fussed what the strip looks like."

And for the away strip how about the mirror image of the home kit.

So - White top with green sleeves, green shorts, white socks with green tops.

Oh. And definitely must be emerald green on all versions. Have never really taken to the bottle green efforts.
