I get a google email every morning with Hibs related news stories and in today's feed there was an article on Efe Ambrose from I'm guessing a Nigerian paper called Punch. There's a link at the end, but one line in there got me - "The Peacocks face third-placed Rangers at Ibrox Stadium on Saturday".

Never heard Hibs referred to as the peacocks before - anyone? (or is it just poor translation)

Many thanks - Not just the daily record that employs shoddy journos then. Love it.

I regularly take in Hibernians games when I go to Malta home or away with it being such a small place,I picked up this top just before they bet maccabi tel-aviv 2-1 in champs league qualifiers, unfortunately the return league wasn't so good, I won't repeat the score 😂

Really fancied a game when I was there but wasnt able to go. Wore a Hibs top in Valetta and got stopped more times than I can remember :flag:

We might not be the Peacocks but we’ve got plenty to be proud of. :cb

I quite like the idea of the Peacocks being our nickname. Wait, we don't already have a nickname do we?

Maybe this is something the fans reps could think about pigeon to the board?

Is there any reason not to adopt it?

No one else domestically uses it I don't think, its unique and the reason for it is utterly stupid in origin. What's not to like?


"Why are you called the Peacocks?"

"Because of Efe Ambrose and a game that never took place between a Maltese(non-falcon) club and The Rangers."

Can we not get a pre season trip to Malta to play Hibernians? Would capture the imagination of both sets of fans I'd think.

Then again given our recent escapades abroad maybe not......

Is it possible for us to make a wall of peacock sound at the game? They kind of shriek do they not?

Our pun banter is probably on par with hearts gif banter. Brutal.

Or if Hibernian won't go to the Hibernians perhaps we should bring the Hibernians to Hibernian...

Would be a right pack of peacocks.

Leeds United (depending on your definition of "domestic").

Unfortunately our new club mascot would be unable to travel with us on European adventures

Would you prefer us to go back to the old-school Hibs, where we spent 90 minutes huffin and puffin?
