So, for my birthday today, the Mrs bought me an old hibs top. We had been at Trainspotting Live in the festival and the character playing Renton wore it. After telling her I had it as a kid she went out, found it and bought it. As a now 33 year old, this top always brings back so many memories, what's everyone else's?

The Puma bottle green is a thing of beauty. That's the classic Hibs design for me.

The old crown badge one. I've still got that.

And the v-neck from the 50s and early 60s.

Purple and green vertical stripes for me.

Special mention to the round-necked top worn in the 6-2 game.

The Pat Stanton era strip - before our tops carried booze and betting company logos.

Scottish cup winning top is mine. If only they would have made another batch.

I had to frame the one I wore the whole season.

I've always referred to my 3 favourite Hibs tops as the Pat Stanton top, the Frank Graham top and the Franck Sauzée top (the winner for me).

I used to see Frank Graham a lot through work, and even though he was a big Celtic man, he was chuffed to be quoted in such exalted company.

Scottish cup home top. I said when I wore to Magaluf the summer before we won it this was my favourite ever home top and that is even more so now. Before my time I really like the Adidas white away top, late 80s perhaps. Maybe one of the more senior boys still have it.

I hate ................... Any strip that continued the white sleeves up to the collar and also the green and purple striped away strip :na na:

The Frank Sauzee top was absolute class, I still have it and in my opinion this seasons top is a match for or better than anything we have had for years .. well done Macron :aok:

Late 70's Bukta top. But I'm a masochist with a nipple fetish, so I'm probably alone on this.

A few years later we had awhite away top with green umbro trim and green shorts, anyone remember this one or have pics, probably mid 80s?

Cup winning top. Was one of my favourites before we won it, for obvious reasons it's my favourite by a country mile now. Following that, it's the purple and green Calor top.

The Puma bottle green is a thing of beauty. That's the classic Hibs design for me.I had that top but stupidly got 'Kuqi 32' on the back before seeing him play. Needless to say I regret that one! [emoji5]

That's the winner, no question. The Puma bottle green is a homage to this.

The white one we had in the Scottish cup final season against Celtic 2001. Sure I had Sauzee on my away and Zitelli on home. Tidy collar. My second fav too behind the Newcastle Ginola one.

I liked the all green top we had for some euro games in the 70s too. Once again badgeless.

We don't really need badges. There's only one Hibs. I suspect this may be an unpopular view, however, nowadays.

Bukta late 70s both green and purple, iconic as we were the first team to have strip sponsors. Early 80s Umbro, just stunningly simple and beautiful. 2016 cup winning strip, just for what was achieved in it. To be honest any Hibs strip with that stunning green body and white sleeves, just a total design classic. It cannot be bettered in my opinion

Sacrilegious I know but my favourite top was the 'candy stripes' on from 94/95. It was my first season ticket year and I'm going for it for the memories and nostalgia. If they brought it out now? No ta.

My second favourite was the dark green one from 2012/2013 - just loved that one.

I still have the white away 88/89 one. Potentially only til tomorrow though, when it's hopefully getting swapped for a cup winning one. Other than that, the Puma bottle green one for me, which I also still have. I really don't like this season's ones though, although I realise this puts me in a minority.

Yes, yes yes. After that I like home SCF winning year. Then this years black away top looks great.

I still like the purple one from a couple of years back. Good Hibs and LA Kings colors.

some of the above mentioned shirts in this picture:

https://twitter.com/Barlosthecat/status/893053505732317184

For me the 80's and very early 90's (ie umbro and adidas) saw the best tops weve had. Bukta and Mitre ones of the 90s saw the standards slip.

Some decent Le Coq sportif ones, as well as some not so decent!

Puma had one great kit, the dark green 2013 final one.

Nike had probably our worst kit ever (awful dark green famous five tribute ) and 2 of our best.....last seasons and of course the David Gray cup final. These 2 will be collectors items in years to come. The David Gray one already is I suppose.

I liked that one too, for similar reasons (and as I mentioned earlier, it was that season's away top that was my favourite).

That was when I started to go every week, and it helped that we played some absolutely fantastic football in it.

It helps when you can remember Kevin McAllister, Michael O'Neill, Darren Jackson, Kevin Harper and Pat McGinlay tearing teams apart in that top (same goes for the Sauzee one and presumably the early 70s one).

Tom Hart thought that purple would be a trendy colour to wear. More likely some young marketing tyro persuaded him!

We all thought it was weird at the time and I for one was disappointed to see purple reappear decades later!
