What colour we hoping for this year?

Purple? White? Yellow? Black?

Personally really like this seasons and think we've had the away kit on in more matches than any other season that I remember.

Got to agree I like this season's away kit. The more visible the kit is the better for the players.

My order of those suggested:

Purple
White
Black
Yellow

Wouldnt have a hissy fit for any of them but not a great fan of yellow to be honest. The West Brom away style yellow and green striped lash up job on the other thread gave me a headache.

I agree I like this seasons to, same as this year's or a white and green for me, you reckon we will play 99% of matches in away kit next season like we did this?

I Always look for a clue, the season ticket launch used to give an indication of the colour schemes for the year ahead but not so much any more.

With the yellow being on the champions t-shirt from the other week I'm going to guess the away strip will be yellow next season.

I would imagine we are contracted to do so with the kit manufacturer. I assume that was the reason for wearing it so often this season. The team wearing the strip so often will sell more shirts.

Mainly white with a wee bit of purple.

And we've got to do the green and purple stripes again at some point.

Come to think of it - it must be 25 years since we had that strip. Must be worth acknowledging.

In that order for me. Still hoping we'll bring back the purple and green striped top that we had when Calor was the sponsor.

Purple with white sleeves. Or all white. Or white with green sleeves. Or completely purple. I hate black and not too keen on yellow and although I had the green and purple striped number looking back I think it's bowfing

White would always be my first choice but I confess I really liked the black one from a few seasons ago

How about away kit being opposite of home kit?
So, white top with green sleeves, green shorts, white socks.

Cant be yellow, its difficult to look cool with a pint in your hand down the local in a yellow shirt. Add that to the fact that I live in town associated with tangerine, you'd need ultra strong sun glasses just to go out for a bevy.

I don't understand the love for the purple. I hate it, like hate it, hate it.

Worst 5 away strips we've ever had IMO:
1. That super shiny purple Le Coq Sportif / Carlsberg away
2. Bukta Purple away with yellow trim down the sleeve
3. The yellow Le Coq with 3 different shades of green down 1 side.
4. The green and purple stripe effort from the 90s
5. The Le Coq Sportif fluorescent yellow with the black fade

Special mention to the purple Mitre one from the 90s, and the lilac purple Puma one from a few seasons ago.

The best 5:
1. The white Adidas reverse of the home kit (white body, green sleeves)
2. The Le Coq Sportif black with green trim from 2005-06
3. The mint Puma kit (mostly for the colour - the Puma one was a cheap template, would be good to see Macron do a better version)
4. The Zitelli/Sauzee white Le Coq with the green collar and trim
5. This seasons fluorescent yellow

White or purple for me.

3 of my top 5 kits have been the White and Green away kits. The 1989 Franck Graham Group kit, the 1990 away kit my favourite iof all time (the home kit is also in my top 5) and the 2001 Scottish cup final kit. anything like these kits would always get my vote.

1) on the worst list, my first Hibs strip. Aye it was awful.

Also from the best list, glad you've got the mint strip. It's a massively understandable rated strip in my opinion.

I do love a white away strip but then surely we'd need to produce a third kit for when we play Celtic? White away and Purple 3rd would do me :aok:

People don't see it as a hibs colour and people want a hibs top to have hibs colours. I agree with them

Did people identify yellow and purple as Hibs colours wen they were introduced?

Dark blue would be a nice change at least, plus I don't like the yellow or purple.

Hibs colours are Green and White... just the two colours


Yellow, Black, Purple, Lime, and the other away strips, are not Hibs colours either, so what's the big deal about Dark Blue (the colour of our National team)?


Unless, of course, some people have strange prejudices.

Says who? Purple is in the Hibs tartan and we've been getting purple strips on and off for a long time. It's not a home colour but I'd say green and purple is definitely associated with Hibs.

We've had training kits that were dark blue with green trim and they were really smart.

I'd be open to the idea of dark blue.

Yip, I'd go for that.

A change strip is exactly that. Shunning blue and red is just crazy.

The only colour I would shun is "bloodied turd". The colour our neighbours love, for obvious reasons.

That aside, any colour or combination is up for grabs.

Someone mentioned blue and yellow representing the ancient flag of Ireland. That would work for me.

This - dark blue with yellow pinstripes.

Purple was introduced at a game in the mid 60s and wasn't worn again until the late 70s. It's still not an official Hibs colour, but is merely one of a range of colours used for the away strip.


If Hibs decided to play in Dark Blue, then it'd be just as valid a choice as purple, which came to be accepted over time.

Had an account here for a wee while - figure I might as well start using it. Hope I'm doing everything right (!)

I've always thought the 12/13 away kit is pretty overlooked. As far as the plain white kits go I reckon it's up there with the best - classy and understated.

http://www.footballkitnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/New-Hibs-Strip-2012-13.jpg

As for this year, sashes seem to have come back into fashion in recent years. Always thought that done right they can be pretty classy. Wouldn't mind something similar to this, with a 2-tone bottle/emerald green stripe.

https://x.cloudsdata.net/58/images/products/large/52b098bd7233d_Bologna-maglia-away-2014-Macron-58031302.jpg

Maybe even a purple/green stripe, or purple body with a green/white or two-tone stripe? Just thoughts. All assuming of course that folk aren't too perturbed by connotations of the word 'sash'...

I had a purple Hibs tracksuit as a kid in the early 70s. It's been associated with the club for 40/50 years now which I would say entitles it to be classed as a Hibs colour.

Hibs first wore Dark Blue as part of their strip in 1889 (the shorts) (http://www.historicalkits.co.uk/Scottish_Football_League/Hibernian/hibernian.htm).


Pre-dates the use of purple by about 80 years

That was a great kit. I had it but the strip was made of a material that could power a small town. It was also bad for pulls. Think I might still have it around somewhere.

If underscore says it will be white and yellow it will be white and yellow. Sure he has inside knowledge of it.
