Any info on next season’s kits...?

[Forever_Green93]

Am i the only one who doesn't mind the new kits? It's good to step away from a traditional design once in a while.

The only thing i dislike about the away kit is that the Marathon bet logo should've been green instead of red, and maybe the collar could've been green as well.

[CRAZYHIBBY]

Its honking

[BlackSheep]

GK shirt is nice

[worcesterhibby]

I love the new Home top....it's gonna be a classic, people will be begging companies to do replicas in 20 years time. ! FACT.

[Eaststandee]

That away strip is bloody toidy.

Take my money.

I like them both! Is the collar on the away the same as the last home kit?

[Alex Trager]

The away one is superb

[GreenCastle]

New GK shirt is very smart.

In a short space of time the home kit has grown on me.

Surprised we didn't have anyone from Hibs women's model it also to help promote the women's football side.

[BegbieHSC]

See how in the away kit sponsorship section, we have ‘Marathon’ in red: is it just me or does the ‘Bet’ belowlook blue? On a white background...I hope my eyes deceive me anyway.

Red, white and blue...

Will the Ladies not have to stick to the current strips until the end of their season? Also the kids kit normally doesnt have Marathon Bet on them. Have they been leaked?

Goalie top for me 👌

[scooby]

Seriously? You won't be buying the kits for your kids purely because 'you' don't like them?

I've read some weird reactions from some on here about the new strip but that's the oddest for me....

Don't see what's weird about it?
The strips they have from this year are still ok, and they all like them.
Given that i bought six strips last year,the only reason I'd buy new ones is if they were as good or better than this year's, which on the image I've seen doesn't seem to be the case.
It's a shame, as Hibs will now miss out on revenue, but I dont agree with just buying strips regardless. If I like something and can afford it I'll buy, if not I don't.
I don't think I'll be alone.

[guthrie01]

Away kit looks smart, don’t mind the red logo tbh

That home “kit” however...

I feel Macron try to hard to be different from other companies and end up with a kit which has too much going on when a simpler option with a different twist would suit more people

[Smartie]

Different collar on the home top and no red in the sponsor on the away one and I reckon they're class.

They're close, but not quite right.

[weecounty hibby]

They're Hibs strips therefore they are beautiful. They are a wee bit different but I'm almost 50 so really shouldn't be the demographic that is the target. I genuinely think they are ok and I'm sure my son will want at least on of them for his holidays

It’s Hibs that design the kit.

[California-Hibs]

If there was a different collar on the away and the sponsor green matching the sleeves instead of red, it would be an absolute cracker!!

[guthrie01]

It’s Hibs that design the kit.

Ah my mistake, seems a pattern for most Macro strips though. If that’s what Hibs think will bring in the most money then fair play, but I won’t be buying one this year

[SRHibs]

I get the feeling the ‘bespokeness’ is just a bunch of premade things that customers can choose and chuck into one kit. It’s almost like they get a checklist of things for the kit: “Aye, we’ll take the 2 tone design, a dodgy collar, and chuck some diamonds on there too”.

Less is more, Hibs.

[RossScott1991]

think they are rank, one worst in recent years. I don't mind change every soo often, but I feel like we are constantly getting away from tradition too much. Been having a look at old kits, seems last 10 years we are trying be very outrageous with the colours. Bring back good old days, the simple classic kit we wore 6.2 v hearts. or sauzee bombing one in at tynie millennium derby in that beautiful kit.

I even preferred the one under Mowbray when it was all green.

[Johnny_Leith]

Love the home one. The away one I'm not sure on.

Looking forward to seeing them in the flesh before making my mind up.

[weecounty hibby]

I honestly don't get the hysteria, it's not like we've changed the colour to blooded turd, or decided to make a strip in the colours of some upper class knob as we beg him for cash. It's a Hibs strip, it's green with white sleeves and has the Hibs crest on the chest. What's inside the strip is way more important

That’s far too sensible. It’ll never catch on.

[CapitalGreen]

Grown men getting hysterical over the design of a football strip is always funny.

The only time I'll get annoyed with a kit design is when no effort has been made in it's development (see 13/14 and 14/15), something which certainly can't be leveled at next seasons kits.

Bunch of grown men debating a football top. We will always have our favourites，but it seems to be a generational thing.
I love the skol cup strips but i was 13 then. I'm sure we all look back fondly on the kits of our childhoods.
The point i'm making is, if you were to poll a bunch of our lets say 8 - 15 year old fans then it wouldn't suprise me if this was a very popular kit with them.
Going with our “next generation" theme，if this style is popular with the kids then that wins it for me. Leeann has prioritised engagement with schoolkids and youth as thats how we will grow going forward.

[NAE NOOKIE]

Broke my self imposed auld farts shouldn't buy replica tops rule last year because I thought the home strip was absolute class and the best one we have had for years .... if the picture of the new ones is genuine I can re impose the rule because I don't like either of them, at least not from the picture :bitchy:

The home top collar looks unbalanced and just weird.
The socks .... any socks on a Hibs home strip should have white tops ..... WHITE TOPS FFS !!!

I have never been a fan of green sleeves on a white top and I haven't changed my mind after seeing this one.

But then I thought the green and purple striped 'classic strip' was rank and I hated the 1991 league cup strip as well.

Back to retro for this auld fart :greengrin

[TelaStella]

Macron are utter *****. Yes we get a bespoke (or do we? I don’t even know) top but they’ve been chronic.

Folk just like to bash Nike and Adidas because it’s cool to go against the big companies. Nike and Adidas strips are generally way smarter than the smaller brands, albeit other teams might have the same collar as you.

Glad someone else is saying it.

[JimBHibees]

Agree think they are both good.

[madhatter]

Think they look not too bad, need to see them in person but whether you love them or not...

I'd prefer a shocking kit and a brilliant team over a brilliant kit and a shocking team, what about you?

Macron have given us the most unique kits I can remember (most other brands look like t-shirts with logos sown on). Whether you like them or not, if this coming season we finish 2nd...well, they'll be classic kits regardless of perceived quality/appearance now!

My biggest disappointment is the kit release doesn't include Kamberi playing the keyboard, Allan playing bass, McLaren on the drums, Kapic on lead guitar and McGinn singing while pointing to a new contract. That'd make any kit look much better (apart from a maroon coloured one, that is a lost cause).

[Sir David Gray]

I've just seen them as I've been at work. I can't really understand why there's such an issue with them.

The away one looks really nice and whilst the home one probably isn't my favourite ever Hibs top it's nowhere near as bad as some people are making it out to be.

I'm also not sure why there's such a reaction to the strips being leaked ahead of the official launch.

In today's climate of social media, things rarely get kept a secret. It's a shame but hardly surprising. I would be more shocked if the leak hadn't happened.

[MyJo]

so after several days of people loving the idea of a vertically split half dark green half light green top followed by a few more days of everyone loving the idea of two tone diamond pattern it’s revealed that it’s actually a very unique and quirky combination of both of these and suddenly everyone hates it...................mental.

[SChibs]

Just wait till we win the league next season and signed tops go into raffles. I'm sure to win one cause nobody else will be buying tickets since they think it's so bad

Not everyone! I agree that some people are having a mental reaction to these kits though!

[blackpoolhibs]

With the home top being green with white sleeves, as usual i will be able to recognise us when in possession of the ball and players available to receive it.

I wont be buying it, as i'm to old and the wrong shape, although that does not seem to deter most of you. :wink:

[ian cruise]

I think part of the issue is the marketing picture, every one of the players looks so bloomin awkward. Compare that to last year with big Fonts strolling around the biscuit factory like a male model and it makes a difference. The top they've put on Shaw looks a couple of sizes too big too.

Still like the tops, will definitely be getting at least one of them.

[Alex Trager]

[Unseen work]

From the photo.

The home top looks like a dodgy fake top you would get abroad

[NAE NOOKIE]

I'll laugh my arse off if this is a stunt by Hibs and the two strips are in fact entirely different from the leaked photo :greengrin

[madhatter]

From the photo.

A low res copy of the image will do that for most strips. Imagine Arsenal fans when they saw their home strip (if it was leaked)?

Lets all chill out a little and wait for official release.

People seem to be getting worked up over kits. I honestly would be quite happy for Hibs to have a pink away strip if we had a really successful team on the park (home strip needs to stay fairly traditional though!). It's the player that wear it, not the kit itself!

[madhatter]

Still can't understand why they are all standing like they are about to be shot in the photo, especially Shaw. Maybe they were anticipating this reaction and got tense!

Did the photographer accidentally say "If you could all get into the firing line" instead of "If you could all stand in a line". Crazy how tense they look in all seriousness...

[HFC_NYC]

Could it be that the leaked pic is a B-roll shot that someone got hold of and then sent to his pals. I'm sure the official pics will do it justice. I don't think the awkward poses are part of the official reveal.

[Perd Hapley]

If Leeann or anyone from Marathon Bet or whoever is looking in here and wondering - change the red logo on the away top to green and you'll have a stone cold classic that'll sell out

Right now I’m sceptical until I see the reveal later tonight

Or someone posts the link.... these could be plants!!
If these are the real strips I like both. Think the home top is excellent with the transformation from bottle green moving across the strip. Very unusual and quite inmovative.

Sometimes a bit of leaked info is great but this whole launch has been ruined by the strips being put up earlier today. We've obviously started putting a lot more effort into these things as a club and its a shame it was spoiled a wee bit. This isn't a dig at anyone who posted it earlier by the way, most of us come on here for a wee bit of inside info that some posters are able to share!

The away would have been better if the sponsor was green but the red part doesn't look that bad once you get used to it. I think they're both cracking strips and I'll be buying at least one of the shirts for the first time in a long time. Well done Hibs from me :top marks

Mm. I think from a design perspective the issue is the way the design is clustered to the right, which is already the busiest part of the top, rather than centred. Maybe could have done without the '1875' sublimation with that in mind. I'm still a fan though.

I really think Hibs fans are a bit fundamentalist with kit designs. Tradition is fine and all but if someone else released that kit I think we'd be pining about how we never make an effort like that; likewise if Arsenal or Man U released it as a change strip it would probably sell plenty. For what is still essentially a pretty simple kit it's also probably unique in the history of football. 8/10

No. Ruined last season's top and doesn't do any favours for this one either. Irrespective I quite like the home top. Never been a fan of red on white as it clashes with green. Was the same before Marathon bet changed their logo. Ruined the tips a couple of seasons back.

I'm not generally a fan of "fussy" shirts but I dont mind that shirt, pretty decent for me. Prefer the home shirt to the away shirt.

I’ll probably end up getting both at some point, possibly one at end of season sale though.

It does look better in the official photos, but its ruined by that collar ... I'll be surprised if either of them sells as well as last years home and away tops.

Marathon bet's logo is red and the white one on the home top was a compromise by them because so many Hibs fans complained about the red on the first strip they were on .... no surprise they've grabbed their chance with a white away top.

It does look better in the official photos, but its ruined by that collar ... I'll be surprised if either of them sells as well as last years home and away tops.

The more I think about it the more hacked off I am with Marathon Bet. There's no way that no one involved in the design process ever questioned the colour of the sponsor on that top. The more I think about it the clearer it seems that Marathon Bet just decided they would get more publicity by ruining a strip than by having their logo emblazoned on one of the best away strips for a while and one for the purists. All it would have taken is a change from red to green.

Not that I have any idea how the design process works - I just find it hard to imagine we're all seeing something professional designers wouldn't.

I think saying its ruined the strip is stretching it a bit.

Unfortunately it’s down to their brand guidelines... if they do not allow the use of single colour mono (green for example) variants of their logo or there is a rule in place that says when on white the full colour version needs to be used then that’s why it’s in colour.

It’s in white on the home strip because there are do’s and dont’s In every brand’s guidelines stating good and bad usage, red on green would be a bad usage as would the blue part of their logo... so it defaults to mono white colour scheme.

It’s highly likely Hibs asked to use a mono variant but were told no, although this is strange as most brands have a full mono white and full mono black version of their logo... in our case the full mono black version should have been used.

That said, Laura Montgomery did say she may be partly to blame for something in the new away kit on her twitter feed, maybe she opted for the full colour variant to add some colour.... what a mistake that would be!!

For all those getting worked up over the red lettering of Marathon Bet on the away strip just buy the home one instead...or pay the good money Marathon Bet have invested in the commercial sponsorship so you can dictate instead.

Ps I am colour blind and its all brown/bottle green to me.😎

Interesting points. I'm maybe in danger of getting a bit carried away here right enough, but it just seems like such a missed opportunity for Hibs and the sponsors - for whom I'm not ungrateful. If both parties were paying attention and saw the light then, you wonder. Given that the away strip is apparently not on release for another couple of weeks I can't help but wonder something could be done - although I suppose at this stage the manufacturing process may be done and dusted. Live in hope.

I think it's still a decent strip regardless btw - I'm just obsessing over its flaw. I can't take my eyes off it

Basic but pretty decent kit tbf. Especially compared to that magenta monstrosity they wore at ER recently

[scooby]

It is just me but is the video almost too quick and a bit too snappy with the transitions? Obviously will need to see them in person to get a full appreciation but it just seemed like almost too many effects and transitions to get a good look at the kits in the video!

I’ll probably end up getting both at some point, possibly one at end of season sale though.

I feel the same, don't think the launch was particularly good this year, certainly not as slick as last year's.
However, the home kit is growing on me, apart from the socks.

Apparently, the Nigeria Strip has received over 3,000,000 orders, up to now, big money spinner if you can get it right.
Don't see the appeal myself as it looks like a cyclist shirt to me, but I aint no fashionista.
As long as the Hibs top is green (any shade of) it will do for me, its whats inside that counts.

[anon1875]

Both kits are pretty poor imo. The Nike kits were more desirable.

Why don't they keep it simple with a nice collar? Disappointing kits for two years in a row now.

Nigeria top looks like an explosion in a paint factory!


I really like the away top and am not at all fussed that Marathon Bet decided to use their corporate colours for the logo. They've paid a bundle for the privilege after all

[Mainstandman]

Saw the top up close in the shop today. Defo more technical fabric with more stretch in it. Looks good, I'll be in early next week for one with the lad.

[JimBHibees]

Got to be said thought the Nigeria strip was meant to be some design masterpiece honestly haven't seen worse top in years. Horrific.

And there you go....

My final point was that someone at hibs was responsible, last year’s Away GK top proving that it wasn’t due to Brand Guidlines and was most likely a choice. I did say it was strange that they didn’t use a mono black logo.

I was merely offering an explanation to the possibilities.

Maybe we got a wee bit more cash for using correct colours? 🤔

[HFCdeb]

I'd buy that without any hesitation.

[calumhibee1]

There’s a lot of stuff I absolutely hate in the world but a logo on the sleeve of a football shirt will probably never really bother me, to each their own as they say.

Wow that’s so cool, can I be like you? Ok, I’ll rephrase it since were being really picky. I don’t like the logo on the sleeve at all, I think it looks really really crap and the top looks significantly worse with it than it would without it. Better?

[w pilton hibby]

Prefer the original.

[Just Jimmy]

Maybe we got a wee bit more cash for using correct colours? [emoji848]maybe. hopefully cos it'll make up for the cash the club misses out on having delivered a horrible home kit that's apart from having some green and white and a hibs badge is nothing like a hibs kit, and ruining a potential cracker of an away kit with a silly sponsors logo. I get that many will still buy them but I wouldn't think it's miles out to suggest this may be the worst selling home kit in years.

I think you've overestimated the population of Nigeria by about a 100 million but you've made a fair point. That, and the fact that their kit is cool as **** with some slick promoting

No. I would prefer green. But as the choice I commented on was the original or the photoshopped example I preferred the original.

The only diff on the photoshopped version was a green sponsor instead of red

[My_Wife_Camille]

I’m definitely getting checked for colourblindness because for me the logo on that photoshopped one is definitely grey and not green

[18Craig75]

Could be that Marathon Bet wanted to have the corporate logo on the strip for greater exposure in the European games. Obviously doesn’t apply to the home strip as it wouldn’t be as apparent.

They’ve been great sponsors and no doubt ploughed in a decent amount of cash, so I don’t think it’s too much of a compromise, especially given it’s not the home top.
