I know this has been done to death on here before, but what is the thinking man's consensus on this age old debate? I'm asking to make sure I get a West Stand Stone inscription right.

The team = The Hibees
A supporter thereof = a Hibee or a Hibbie right?

Interested to know people's thoughts.

Cheers,

Used to be more Hibbie/Hibby kind of changed over the years.

What's the song? It's good to be a Hibee?

I'm a Hibs fan. Don't use any of them, never particularly liked them.

But yeah, it's Hibbies for the fans and Hibees for the team.

I’ll leave it to Lawrie Reilly on this one, he was born a Hibee not a Hibby.

I’d say the team is the Hibees. I’d personally call them just Hibs and actually Hibbys. Like ‘come on the Hibbys’

The supporters are Hibbys for me though. That never changes

Hibby singular, hibbies plural. Hibees team and hibee should never, ever be used to refer to a fan.

Don't mind hubz or hobos from another place.

If the team are the Hibees, then as far as I'm concerned, the same term should be given to the club's supporters.
So I'm a Hibee.
My kids and I are Hibees.
If it was good enough for Lawrie Reilly, it's good enough for me.
I also have a Scots dictionary (1995) - it refers to the club's nickname as Hibees and the supporters as Hibees (Hibee (singular).

Team - The Hibees
Supporter - A Hibee

What's the song? It's good to be a Hibee?

What's the consensus on this? I always thought it was 'ooh to be a hibee' but have noticed some people sing 'good to be a hibee'

Don't understand where the random double b comes from.

In any event if I'm writing it down I'll usually try to use our full Sunday name of Hibernian. It's a great name and it ends and debate about how to spell it.

Otherwise I suppose I'm a Hibee, they are the Hibees but, weirdly, look over there - a group of Hibbies.

Hibby = a single supporter

Hibbies = 2 or more supporters (plural)

Hibees = The team itself

Hibee = a single player
