[Heisenberg]

There’s the funding for a defensive midfielder sorted :greengrin

Also, that looks horrendous on the shorts.

[SaulGoodman]

That better not actually be on the shorts ffs

[Stuart93]

Surely it’s not going on the shorts 😂

[essexhibee]

Looks absolutely honking on the shorts.

Although I will take it if it funds a Shinnie loan deal :greengrin

[Alex Trager]

This is going to be a laugh. Watch all the outrage…

[blackpoolhibs]

At least we will be able to hear as well as see Doige reversing now.

[Pretty Boy]

I actually love how wound up some people are going to get about this.

[BlackSheep]

Looks absolutely honking on the shorts.

Although I will take it if it funds a Shinnie loan deal :greengrin

At least its in keeping with the colours.... a horrible big yellow logo would have looked even worse!

[Alex Trager]

Agree

[Vault Boy]

More money. Not sourced from gambling or booze. 👍

[JohnMcM]

This is going to be a laugh. Watch all the outrage…

Yep! Even though this good news.

:flag:

[Stuart93]

This is going to be a laugh. Watch all the outrage…

Wouldn’t say there’ll be outrage but ****sake mr Duff it looks stupid 😂

A decent money spinner hopefully to coin a phrase

[Bright_Hibee]

Looks horrible and has ruined shorts. Far too big and makes our badge look tiny. Hideous. Who's responsible for the logo on the shorts?

[matty_f]

Announce Road Runner.

[Hibernia&Alba]

At least we will be able to hear as well as see Doige reversing now.

I suspect there will be outrage Stu

Does that mean Boyle or Horgan will now be known as Road Runner and in the warm up we might get a wee bit of Jonathan Richman ?

:agree:

[Stuart93]

You sure?
I suspect there will be outrage Stu

Haha aye I suppose u could well be right when people are looking for a reason

[Exuberance1875]

Would look better if one beep was on left leg and one beep was on right

[calumhibee1]

That looks hideous. At least it’s more money though.

[Sir David Gray]

Doesn't look great on the shorts but at least it's money.

It's better than playing your home games at the Tony Macaroni Arena.

[04Sauzee]

Can't see the issue with this at all. Seems there's always a gripe when we source more funding

[Billy Whizz]

Can't see the issue with this at all. Seems there's always a gripe when we source more funding

Me too, love it and looks great!

[GreenCastle]

More funding fine.

But the logo looks awful and tacky on the shorts.

Something I would expect from the yams.

[iwasthere1972]

Honking. :dunno:

[HoboHarry]

Announce Road Runner.
Martin Boyle's new nickname instead of Squirrel?

[HoboHarry]

We getting Acme on the jerseys?

[HoboHarry]

Honking. :dunno:
I see what you did there - nothing like blowing your own horn.....

[lyonhibs]

That's so bad it's like cartoon comedy funny. :faf::faf:

[bingo70]

Would look better if one beep was on left leg and one beep was on right

Should have one beep on each arse cheek.

[FranckSuzy]

Looks horrible and has ruined shorts. Far too big and makes our badge look tiny. Hideous. Who's responsible for the logo on the shorts?

That's the spirit. Just joined up and already posting utter BEEP BEEP!

It's money coming in to the Club and better than the likes of Wonga, IMHO :aok:

[The Captain....]

More... (http://www.hibernianfc.co.uk/news/10230)Sounds and looks like the kind of sponsorship you'd see on your local saturday amateur strips.

[staunchhibby]

One minute people are complaining about no sponsorship and when we get one they are still not happy.

[BoomtownHibees]

Think most, if not everyone, will be happy with the extra money this brings in however the logo does look awful in the shorts imo

That reminds of a terrible Basile Boli joke from years ago.

Please tell me it's the 1st of April?...

[SaulGoodman]

Happy with another sponsor.

Not happy with having BEEP BEEP! Emblazoned across our shorts all season.

[Stuart93]

I’m chilled out I’m just making the point that it doesn’t look great on the shorts? Strange

[Keith_M]

If only we had somebody with Road Runner type speed available.

It seems a bit like false advertising at the moment :)

[hibee-boys]

Appreciate the club are sourcing new funding but honestly....I really hope the amount trumps the comedy value😕🙈

[Mon Dieu4]

This has actually really cheered me up with all things Hibs haha I think it's funny as

[Widhibs]

Would be good if they gave us season ticket holders a discount of some kind.

[Callum_62]

Are they actually splashing them across the shorts, or just inground advertsing?

Quite funny given the latest 'non advertising' by Paddy Power

[Sean1875]

**** it, it’s a giggle at the very least. If it helps us bring in a defensive mid then it’s worth every penny!

He told the club that his prospects were good
And Hibs said, Hecky, it’s understood
Working for peanuts is all very fine
But can you show us a better time?

Hecky you can drive my car
Yes I know you wanna sign a star
Then maybe we’ll love you

Beep beep beep beep yeah!

[G B Young]

It'll be a good fit for Martin Boyle when he's finally back flying down the wing.

I'm put in mind of this guy, although he apparently actually said 'Meep, Meep'...

Shorts need to be modelled by Alan OBrien on a bike for marketing purposes.

[Dalianwanda]

It’s a pair a ****ing shorts, unless your planning to wear a pair what’s the problem?

[Big_Franck]

Just saw the photo on Hibs twitter and the shorts look ridiculous. It's probably worth about 20 grand as well.

[Mon_the_cabbage]

I’m trying to remember whether the Beep Beep yeah was a tv advert or the traffic report on the radio. Old age doesn’t come itself.

Beep beep Yeah was the radio 1 traffic jingle from the 70's. Think Diddy David Hamilton's afternoon show!

It’s Doidge, by the way. Christian Doidge.

[weecounty hibby]

Don't see the big deal to be honest. Folk complain about lack of sponsors and now folk complaining about having a sponsor. Possibly the same folk?? Sometimes Hibs can do nothing right it would seem

[Smartie]

I don't think it looks that bad.

[Joe6-2]

After seeing that, I wish I had missed the picture.

Me too!!

[mentalhibee]

Everything at Hibs just now is a farce, announcing this after making a big deal about the community foundation sponsor being a choice. This looks cheap and nasty.

[Vault Boy]

Everything at Hibs just now is a farce, announcing this after making a big deal about the community foundation sponsor being a choice. This looks cheap and nasty.

I don't see anything farcical about it. We rejected the commercial sponsors available to us at the time, they were from gambling companies. We didn't want to go down that path and the financial packages weren't worth it.

We now have a taxi firm sponsoring one leg of the players' shorts. Makes us some money, ethics remain intact.

No point being dramatic about it.

[hibbyfraelibby]

I know many are thinking this looks gash and that a Beep on each arse cheek would look better but you can bet your bottom dollar this is going to get talked about, ridiculed and commented on ad nauseam which from a sponsors marketing perspective is exactly the result they're looking for. No publicity is bad publicity

[Deansy]

If only such a sponsorship had been around when Ivan played .......................

[Hibernia&Alba]

Mightn't it backfire commerically, being a local taxi firm? They have immediately lost the custom of the maroon half of Edinburgh.

I find it unlikely we declined any sponsorship from gambling companies based on moral grounds, we’re happy to compete in the Ladbrokes Premiership and take the sponsorship cash that provides us.

Ffs who buys a pair of football shorts anyway? Naebodies forcing them on you. It’s extra revenue for the club, if it means a signing or two who gives a ****?

[oldbutdim]

Getting relegated would be a bit extreme.

Tacky as hell and something I'd expect from Hamilton.

Still it may allow us to compete in the transfer window with Kiddiemister for an Exeter reserve striker or something

It will be worth a few grand to us over the year, similar to a pitch side advertising board.

Hardly the same though is it? Whats our alternative - refuse to play in the league and resign?

Looks very cartoonish, surely it only kids who wear replica kit anyway?

[Vault Boy]

As others have said, I think that's entirely incomparable. Hibs get to decide their own sponsorships and affiliations, not the league's.

[Antifa Hibs]

Hibs are the league, along with the other 11 clubs. The SPFL is us, the clubs.

[Vault Boy]

Yes, but we still don't choose the commercial sponsor, which is what we're talking about.

[The Modfather]

It looks crap, but brings in more money. Think that’s about the long and short(s) of it.

[Chefki Kuqi]

I think it looks alright. Still not sure why we’ve not got a proper shirt sponsor though, if the budget is truly used then I feel like it may have helped and we could have put Hibernian Community Foundation on the arms, if allowed?

Still this is positive news, more money and for a fairly unintrusive sponsor.

[Unseen work]

Does it look great? No
Do I care that it doesn’t look great? No

Find it interesting that we decide to not have a shirt sponsor, then a couple of months later opt for a big sponsor on our shorts?

[Doh Rae Me]

Not a taxi firm.
Private Hire Cars.
I will be sticking with the black cabs thanks.

[Baldy Foghorn]

Positive news. However, does this mean we couldn't get shirt sponsor? kind of blows that out of the water IMO

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is the whole discussion summed up perfectly.

There is a certain ‘want’ about adults that choose to wear football replica kits.

And, before I get accused of generalising, I’m not. Overweight adults, in particular, should be nowhere near a football strip.

I think it’s more to do with the actual team wearing the shorts than people being personally pissed off because they are going to buy them. Not that I give a **** either way, it’s money coming in for very little.

[.Sean.]

Genuinely don’t understand why some folk have an issue with this.

Even if you buy the shorts, I don’t believe they’ll have the sponsor on them. It’s a slogan. On a pair of football shorts. Get a grip 😂

I've had a day at work with a whole lot of them slagging me off about this.

You know what, I couldn't give a monkeys what that lot say. This is just another first in the Scottish game for HFC

First domestic game under floodlights, first British team to play in Europe. Now we're the first Scottish team with a short sponsor. Shows creativity in my mind and another source of income isn't to be sniffed at. In future years we'll be able to attract higher profile partners, paying significant wedges to advertise their services and products to 20000 people every fortnight, and a TV audience too

I can handle the snidey and ill informed comments from others but to read such negativity from our own, is hard to take

Where is all this negativity coming from? We're two games in to the season with all to play for.

Have we all forgotten Persevere or was that just a timely soundbite?

I hate things like this. What’s it got to do with you what anyone else chooses to wear? It’s like the people who come on with their superiority complex and criticise folk if they wear a football top on on holiday. I couldn’t care less what others are wearing, it’s entirely up to them.

i no longer buy replica tops but can i still wear the training tops that the club shop sell :dunno: i'm approx half a stone(i'm back to the gym next week btw...again), but it does mean the club getting a few ££ in the coffers

Sorry that's nonsense, folk can wear whatever they want regardless of what size they are. Should thin folk not wear them either as they will be hanging off them and will also look daft or should it just be fitness models that should wear them, I personally dont like the material in football tops so wouldnt wear one but each to their own

‘Everybody, look at me’

[Pete]

There are some iconic football shirts which look fantastic on adults, especially the retro ones.

Normal, modern football tops...mmm, up to you I suppose. More a statement of allegiance than anything else.

Sorry if this makes me sound judgemental but if you’re an adult who leaves the house in a full kit of matching shorts and top then you need bloody shooting. Unless you’re away to play fives of course.
