Anyone in the know had any updates from Hibs about next year's kit?
Would love to see it before the end of the season. I wonder what our deal is with Nike in terms of us wearing their kits for our last three games, i would love to see the new kit worn against St Mirren, i think some teams in the past in other leagues have revealed new kits on the last day of the season, but most likely the same kit manufacturer/technical sponsor.
A long shot i know but one can dream....
Even a teaser image would whet the appetite!

Kinda hoping for a white top with green sleeves and a green collar for the away kit. Our home top last year (cup winning top) is the best hibs top I've seen in years so something close to that I'll be happy!!

I'm looking forward to seeing the new kits and gear to be honest, should be something quite different. The designs are all completed but I can't imagine we'll release it until the summer, hopefully a bit earlier than in previous years.

I'm sure it said the deal doesn't strart in till the 1st June, Nike/Just Sports will run until the 31st May so no new kit worn this season I'd guess.
I wonder if the white and yellow used in the season ticket campaigne and championship winning t-shirt has anything to do with the away colours.

Also, from what i can read online - our deal with Marathon Bet ends in June. Any word on whether or not they are likely to extend that deal?
Would love an extension of the deal as the engagement they've had with the fans IMO has been excellent and how you want a sponsorship deal to be

This is what held up the kit release last year as well...
Hope they get the business doen nice and early, no cup final or police investigation to get in the way of normal business this summer.

The original press release stated unique designs.
"We’ve worked closely with the club to design a set of unique kits which combine the performance elements required by modern day players along with the typical Italian stylish designs which we are sure the fans will appreciate.”

Agreed.
But if the it is in fact a catalogue kit then the fans wont be happy at a promise of a unique design not delivered.
Look at Greenock Morton this year, fans so unhappy they had to redesign their home kit....
If I am honest smaller clubs should put it to a vote every year with design options, that way they are likely to get more sales. I know a few fans who have not liked the kits from Nike and have chosen to keep wearing older kits to matches rather than buy a new one....

I never understand why clubs don't have strips launched before the summer. Surely having replica strips on sale and available for golf to buy and wear over the summer (when it's actually nice enough to wear a tshirt out) is a good financial decision?
To be honest, any time I go abroad I tend to look out for replica tops from the local teams and I'm sure I can't be alone in this. Would be good if Hibs tried to tap into Edimburghs HUGE tourist market to promote our brand.

Agreed, pretty sure Herman teams wear them in their last home game. A friend of mine supports Oxford Utd and they have decided to do the same too. Think it's great to give fans a nice early look and get excited for the new season

Well that was last summerEmerald green is Hibs green and has been for decades - I don't think we should be chopping and changing between shades every year. The bottle green makes a nice occasional one off, but not every couple of seasons as we have done recently. The cup final one was great, the 'famous five' one with black socks and without white sleeves was ok, but the Puma one was a horrible shade of dark green.
For the away kit, I'd love to see the mint kit brought back. However, I'd place all my money on it being yellow (and possibly white) in line with the Born a Hibee campaign. The club have a history of matching the season ticket campaign to the next away kit colours.

Big fan of the emerald green myself. Bottle green is OK and is part of our history but then again Spurs used to play in yellow and brown!
Would like an emerald home kit, a white away and for a 3rd maybe something like the all bottle green away from the CIS cup winning season maybe with a purple and black trim.

I hope they keep it simple for us. Scotland Rugby and Lazio are the best efforts I've seen from them IMO.
The home shirts from Motherwell and Ludogorets this season are really good too, but mostly they've produced a lot of shockers.

agree re emerald green.....the colour this year almost perfect.
The famous 5 strip was a disgrace though, so poorly done. Has to be a white away strip with green sleeves, surely....been 26 years since we had an amazing away shirt like that!

Plain black t shirt - £7 or £8. Add in football team badge £35 to £40. Nike will bash that standard template top out by the million for next to **** all in some sweat shop somewhere. It is horrific and thank god we no longer have any association with them.

I actually quite like both of those designs. I take it the away too is going to get QotS branding added in time though?
It's almost like they have gone out just before taking a shot of the home shirt and someone has gone just pick a bloody away kit. Any will do we will add a badge later!

The Hibs tartan in a kilt is very, very smart ...... it might not be a bad idea to have an away top that incorporated it, so long as it was done right it could look brilliant :aok:
If we cant get an away strip sorted by the start of the season perhaps we could get one on loan from Celtic :offski:

I love this away kit. Was one of the first hibs tops I got. Would this have been about the time of Kevin McAlister? I have a mental image of him wearing one which was at least a couple of sizes to big for him in his official team photo.

With all the working together group meetings and Fans reps is there not a way for the new strip, for future seasons, to be put to a fans vote. every year we ge great mock ups on here and are more often than not left dissapointed with the real product.

A beautifully photoshopped design is always going to look better than the real thing hanging up half creased in the club shop.
If half of those mock ups were released as our actual kit, we'd have to set up a complaints department.

However I'm aware that the Macron rugby shirts are fitted. I would like to know what the shirts are like before ordering.

You are right, it is a fairly easy process. Let's not discount my 10 years experience as a graphic designer, but once you have a decent template set up its just a case of firing out variations.... I won't take credit for the lovely template i use for these designs, but I would agree that a fan vote would make sense and it would more than likely increase sales as fans are more inclined to buy a shirt they like than one that they don't... giving us the chance to offer some input would make this more likely.

£90 would be for the actual kit the players would run out in, a more basic version would retail for £50 and is what most people would go for.

Nice work, but I don't like any Hibs kit where the white continues onto the shoulders. It's barely one step up from the ridiculous green t-shirt effort from a couple of season ago.

This one is based on the 1989/90 hibs kit, a popular kit in our history so thought I'd give it an update 👍🏻😀

I agree, the home shirt should always have green shoulders and white sleeves, why tamper with perfection 🇳🇬🇳🇬

I sometimes wonder if some of the kit manufactures employ designers who nothing about what makes a nice kit.... it's all subjective in the end, some folk like some design and hate others, but it would be awesome to see a kit come out that the majority of the fans love.
This years kits aren't that bad to be fair.

Will Hibs ever release a top without the sponsor logo on it.
Celtics new strip for next season gives you the option to purchase it with or without the sponsor logo.
I'd prefer a Hibs top without a logo on it.

Probably not as the sponsors pay a lot of money to have their name on the top.
I'd imagine Celtic have companies falling over themselves to be their shirt sponsors so the two clubs aren't really comparable in this case.

Is there a specific reason we never had a sponsor on the Skol cup top? I always assumed it was perhaps something to do with the mismanagement of the club a year or two earlier but I'm too young to know for sure.

I don't think any company would commit to a deal that summer cos we were in such a bad way. I remember a story in the record that we had only sold 60 season tickets or something like that.
I was only 13 but remember thinking our time was up.

This years kits aren't that bad to be fair.The in house designers at Nike and Adidas etc. are fantastic - they have some of the most desirable jobs in the industry, so they will have no trouble attracting the best talent. As a designer yourself, you should know that what often stands in the way of a good design is a bad client, or a client with specific needs. Hibs will always pick the option that will sell the most, upset the least, and cost the least to produce.

Motherwell's webstore has the option for you to add the sponsors logo to the top if you want....don't know if we'll be the same though!

It's your last sentence that hits the nail on the head... it's all about budget. I am forever met with the expression 'well, it looks expensive' meaning they are happy with it as it is (mid way through) so they don't want to spend anymore money!
And yes Nike and Adidas do have great designers... but some shockers still come from them at times... but some of the other manufacturers leave a lot to be desired... every year I browse countless teamwear catalogues and think 'eff' me what a load of garbage!

Would love to see it before the end of the season. I wonder what our deal is with Nike in terms of us wearing their kits for our last three games, i would love to see the new kit worn against St Mirren, i think some teams in the past in other leagues have revealed new kits on the last day of the season, but most likely the same kit manufacturer/technical sponsor.
A long shot i know but one can dream....
Even a teaser image would whet the appetite!

If the guy in the shop was the English guy I reckon he's plucked a date out of his arse. He done that loads of times when we were waiting on cup final stuff.

Those Stoke kits are pretty ugly IMO
Macron seems to be at their best when they keep things simple, as you say that Vitesse one is pretty nice
The good thing about the Hibs kit is that there's not really much you can do with it so hopefully they don't try and reinvent the wheel
