Macron 2021/2022

[04Sauzee]

I noticed Hibs announced their deal with Macron in March 2017 which was initially a 3 year deaal amd extended it i believe for a further 1 year last year?

I wonder if Hibs will continue with Macron or if there are others looking to work with us?

I'd like to see us give Umbro a go. They make some great kits, their leisure wear and retro range is good and a kit with a white band a la Insave is long overdue.

Yep love the Umbro stuff. Usually no fancy stuff and pretty traditional designs.

I’ve lost count the amount of times I’ve went on about us having one of the most instantly recognisable kits in world football as opposed to some generic red or blue kit and it doesn’t need too much tinkering from year to year. Green top, white collar and sleeves, plain white shorts, green socks with white turnovers. Easy

In saying that in recent years my favourite kit was the macron diamond home. Absolute beauty. The only real issue with the macron tops is there’s always one or two details too many

I’m not sure I would, they’re currently pulling out of many of their shirt deals with multiple sports, negotiating with the teams (and sports in some cases) to leave the deal early

I've heard Joma, disappointing as I think macron is becoming a more mainstream brand. I think of Joma as providers of cheap rubbish, but let's see what comes

id agree with cheap but not rubbish. Always found the strips used for kids football wore well but I think that’s part of the issue being associated with kids football causing a bit of kit snobbery (not you).

I'm not a replica kit wearer so no real issue for me. They were good enough for Honduras in the World Cup.

[Just_Jimmy]

macron is crap and has been crap all the way through.

that hideous diamond thing should have seen the contract ripped up there and then.

this year's effort is miles better but I don't trust them to produce a Hibs kit now.

move onto someone else and let macron stick to rugby.

Watching the Hearts game the other night I thought ICT had quite a smart strip. They have been with Errea for years and I would say they consistently had the worst kit in the league when in the Premiership. They are now with Puma and the design was sharp and simple. Their away kit is from the same template as the Man City goalkeeper strip but it's smart too, not for everyone of course but a bit different and a coherent design.

I'm always wary of the smaller brands because they always seem to want to add 1 or 2 additional design elements that are unnecessary. Macron have habitually done this with Hibs strips yet bizarrely they seem to produce really clean and simple kits for the Italian rugby team.

I wouldn't really have an issue with a template design as long as it was a good template. I think with Adidas people envisage the trefoil logo, 3 stripes on the sleeves and a huge range of retro wear recalling the late 80s/early 90s. In reality we would get a deal through a 3rd party and similar shoddy designs to what Aberdeen churn out every year. The leisure wear would be generic stuff with a Hibs badge stuck on it and an extra £15 added onto the price for the privilege.

The point I am trying to make is there are pros and cons with either option. I suppose it the boils down to Hibs getting the best deal for the club.

[Vault Boy]

I've liked the majority of Macron's efforts, diamond home kit and current away kit aside. I think there's been a good deal of variety and originality in there, with each season feeling rather distinct and unique. The sizing is an issue, but ultimately the kits are for athletes first and foremost. The home and away they produced in their first year with us are two of my favourite kits of all time.

I thought last season's were really nice too, but the team's performances under Hecky and the subsequent early ending of the season probably skewered how we'll remember them a bit.

Unless they're paying us significantly more than anyone else, I just hope it's not Nike.

I wouldnt agree entirely with that. As a kit its just a tee shirt, shorts and socks. I'd argue the number one remit of a kit is commercial and will it sell. Hence we see so many games with teams playing alternative strips even without a colour clash, kits have to be worn and seen to sell. Its all commercial.

[calumhibee1]

A template that will look completely different to anybody else because of our colours.

If we were Aberdeen, Rangers, Livingston then I’d get why a template might be a bit crap but when you’ve got such a unique colour way like ours then they’re always going to look miles different to other teams.

Adidas for me :agree:

I always like home strips to be traditional with not much variation, with away strips however do what the f you want to maximise sales.

the OP you quoted talked about a sizing issue with Macron, there’s only a sizing issue if the sizing between top of the same brand varies. I’m normally an xl but in Macron I’m a 3xl that to me isn’t a sizing issue.

as a slight aside watching Palace on the box now their home top is a great mixture of the traditional of blue and red but a modern design with the blue shoulders with the stripes coming to a point. Their away strip on the other hand is a thing of beauty, if I was a palace supporter I’d be throwing money at it.

I think a home strip has to be traditional to a degree or it wont sell.

Have to admit I think the Macron kits are a bit too busy and do tend to look more like rugby shirts.

Not sure who I'd want though as what I like about Macron is they don't just give us templates, or at least it doesn't feel that way.

[bingo70]

If we are negotiating with a new supplier, who would be doing the negotiating?

Would that normally be Dempsters job or would someone at the club do it and report into her?

Unfortunately the whole catch about macron offering us bespoke exclusive designs is indeed a myth mate. We get the templates just like we would with any other modern day manufacturer. See Dundee’s home top this season for example

Not sure but was Dempster not part of a committee that once or twice visited Macron’s HQ in Italy to look at design templates? Perhaps co members of such party would take over should they still be involved with the club, if not I guess it goes straight to Ron.

Exactly. Someone from hibs goes over and and has an input on what the strip is going to look like, it was one of the selling points when the deal was announced. The strips look exactly how the club want them to look.

That’s nonsense. Macron allow you to change all colour schemes, collars, sleeve detail, even images added into the main colours. We may well take templates for 2nd or 3rd tops but that’s our choice.

[Centre Hawf]

I think we'll be changing purely on the basis that it seems like we're getting rid of all the Macron stock currently and not ordering any new ones of the goalkeeper tops etc. Just feels like we're clearing house for a new manufacturer to come in and punt their gear.

I think its right to change from Macron now, their kits have been okay overall. Some look lovely, some don't look great at all. I also think the sizing is ridiculous these days, but not sure if Macron are the only ones guilty of this in the modern era. I'm a football fan not a player, I don't need it skin tight.

I would like to go back to Adidas, but failing that I'm not dead against something a bit retro with Umbro. I think retro looks are coming back in style/fashion (for me at least :greengrin) and would stand out amongst the sort of modern styles been chucked about by every other club.

[bingo70]

I’ve seen a few MLS Adidas strips that are similar to the old school ones from the early 90s that had the 3 stripes over the shoulder. IMO they’re decent and would sell well.

I’m not really arsed who makes our strip, the good thing about the likes of Adidas is the training gear. Been a bit of a mixed bag for me with Macron in terms of the designs but always felt it’s good quality.

I don’t buy the stuff for myself anyway, it’s just for my boy and I think he’d like anything with the Hibs badge on it.

I was thinking more about the build quality of the kits. I’ve used Adidas a fair bit for teamwear. We’d quite often have to replace kits during the season. Never had that issue with Joma or Macron. I know fans aren’t bothered about that but Adidas really is cheap tat these days.

Yeah, they’ve got some really big clubs in Europe.

Anderlecht is one, Atalanta and Torino are others I think. One of the big clubs in Russia as well I think.

Generally the ***** across here but I don’t really care, if the strip is alright and sells well then that’s all that matters really.

My jambo mates were saying they’re getting a new strip manufacturer next season as well and they’re assuming it’ll be some cheap crap brand.

Not sure if it’s always the case but I suspect it’ll be a decision based 100% on the finances this year.

Think that’s generally how American sports work since the clubs are just franchises.

The NBA kits are all by Nike (except for Charlotte Hornets who are owned by Michael Jordan and made by Jordan who are of course part of Nike).

Is that actually true of normal replica kits though? I thought the kits worn by players had their own sizing, where as you go up the sizes they'll increase more in the shoulders than in the waist etc. But the replica kits sold to fans are sized like normal clothes, and so a fan's XL will be more forgiving around the belly than Daz's XL.

I think what you refer to did actually happen with the HSL kit (explaining why the smaller sizes were similar to the equivalent sizes of this season's other shirts, but the larger sizes presented a real challenge to the well-timbered gentleman) because the players' and fans' kits all came from one batch, but isn't normally the case.

(I do agree with your general point that a football kit is always unlikely to be flattering on anyone with a significant belly.)

We have the 150th anniversary of the club coming up in 2025 so I think they’d be sensible to leave any real classic to the 24/25 or 25/26 season.

[Perd Hapley]

Grown quite fond of the Macron kits, especially since they rebranded their logo - would be very happy to see them do it again but if not then I'd opt for Umbro or UA - New Balance have also been putting out some nice clean designs lately. Wouldn't mind seeing some kind of sublimated pattern as seems to be the rage doon sooth right now - I'm actually a big fan of the Arsenal kit this year though agree with others that Adidas for us would almost certainly just mean the same bland template pish the sheep have been rocking for years.

Whatever the case I want to see the dark green again - or better still some mad two-tone design a la 18/19

Edit: reading through the thread I see the 18/19 diamond kit is disliked by some. You are all objectively wrong

https://i.ibb.co/SyLrK0Z/20210304-195516.jpg (https://ibb.co/C8r2nvS)

Think Chelsea used to have a yellow badge back in the day didn’t they?

Not sure, dont mind the neck and the zigzag design is ok.

[Lancs Harp]

Think Chelsea used to have a yellow badge back in the day didn’t they?

In the 70s when Chelsea played against team with white socks they changed to yellow socks, the stripe on the shorts was yellow and the badge yellow too. Think they won the European Cup Winners cup against Real Madrid in the 70s wearing that kit and the cup against Leeds in 1970 in the replay.

[CMurdoch]

I noticed Hibs announced their deal with Macron in March 2017 which was initially a 3 year deaal amd extended it i believe for a further 1 year last year?

I wonder if Hibs will continue with Macron or if there are others looking to work with us?

I notice Forest Green rovers work with Player Layer and are going to ne wearing a kit made from recycled coffee 🍵

I have an allergy to poly ******* ester so that would be great.

[Gatecrasher]

Some of the Adidas and Nike kits have been horrible recently. I wouldn't mind keeping the one we have or moving as long as we have decent kits. The one thing I liked about our current deal is the training stuff is pretty good.

[mcohibs]

Anyone know if we'll still be with Macron next season or will their deal run out? New kits are done well in advance so I'd imagine it's decided by now

[AndyM_1875]

The Macron gear is being punted by the shop at half price or less now so perhaps we are getting ready to change supplier.

[04Sauzee]

Hibs launched this seasons Home kit on the 14th May 2020. We might have launched a bit early due to covid and the season not being ended

2017/18 kit was launched 14th June.

Don't think we will have to long to wait. Hopefully 6-9 weeks before an announcement?

[Vault Boy]

I think Hibs are hoping for another early-ish release this year.

We'll have an away and 3rd kit next year. Reckon a white and purple option is a good bet.

Personally I'd like to see us try something different for one of them. A total white out kit would be quite a nice contrast to the black out kits a few clubs have had in recent years. I also quite like gold on a football kit. Something like the Arsenal away kit from 2016 but with bottle green in place of the navy.

I’d like us to go for something totally different for the away too. I’ve got a champagne colour training top from back in the LCS days which is nice. A silver kit with dark green trims would be nice. I even liked the mint green kit I thought it was quite classy with the black socks.

We normally get a clue from the colours in the marketing material but don’t think we’ve had that this year.

I think because we are in Europe we need a third strip. With that in mind I hope we have a white too with green sleeves, not the dark green from a few years ago, nice bright green like the away strip from the skol cup winning season.

Neither do I but I don’t care really. They make strips for a few big clubs so if they’re good enough for the likes of Anderlecht then they should be good enough for us.

The person who told me is pals with a couple of players, when he told me it was going to be Joma I just said I’d heard that rumour too, he said it’s not just a rumour and definitely going to be them.

I don’t know if the players would know or not so he may have just picked up the rumour as well but he seemed certain.

I don't mind who it is, in reality any manufacturer should be more than capable of making a cracking Hibs kit.

Not saying they definitely will, Macron had 1 or 2 id class as 'good' but nothing more.

I thought we had macron for one more year. Looking forward to what the new supplier has lined up. I know what of the sales guys. I’ll ask about.

[Pretty Boy]

I always think a Hibs home top should be about the easiest thing in the world to design but so many have managed to get it wrong over the years.

Green body, white sleeves (but not shoulders), white and only white shorts and green socks with a white turnover. Add a couple of touches but don't try to reinvent the wheel. Macron have been awful for adding 1 or 2 elements too many to every kit they have done for us. It designs itself if you keep it simple.

Do what you like with the away and goalkeeper kits but just don't **** with the home kit.

[Cruit]

The Joma Finn Harps kits have been reasonably simple for the most part, but more good kits than bad.

Personally I'm more interested in the training gear as that's what I'll wear more often and while I'd prefer Joma to Macron there are probably better out there.

[Greenio]

I'm not precious about who it is.

The only two important things are that Hibs get a fruitful deal and people buy it so we get sales. If it looks good, I don't think people will care and I like the idea of going with a smaller supplier.

Definitely.

The argument for Adidas always seems to be based on a belief that we would get a huge range of bespoke Originals merchandise and leisure wear. No chance, we'd get the same catalogue efforts Aberdeen churn out every season. We aren't getting anything comparable to Man Utd or Bayern Munich, largely because we aren't getting a deal directly with Adidas for the bulk of the stuff the clubstore will sell.

I'm not particularly sold on Joma based on the kits posted on this thread but I don't have any fascination with Nike and Adidas either. I'd rather work with someone like Macron or Joma who will give us some input into our kit and merch design than see us have to try to make up a nonsense story to fit a template like the 2012 Puma and 2015 Nike efforts.

[BlackSheep]

Based on the away description and the fact it looks like Joma are then manufacturer this could be the base for our away kit.

https://www.joma-sport.com/en/shirt-short-sleeve-ss-t-shirt-tiger-violet-100945.550?tid=147

[Carheenlea]

Regardless of who makes it we’ll always have nice kits, but for me it’s important to have a good range of training/leisurewear that would appeal to a large chunk of the support who don’t wear replica kit, but would wear polo shirts, quarter zip tops etc.

Pains me to say it but Hearts have a really good range of Umbro gear, and we could do a lot worse than see them as our suppliers.

Ultimately though, it’s not something that has me lying awake at night worrying about, so whatever deal Hibs can get that they feel is most attractive then that’ll do.

[.Sean.]

Definitely.

Two stinking efforts - Puma said the 2011/2012 kit was to recognise the old slope - proved nonsense as it was a template Spurs used the season before. Probably my least favourite kit of all time. As for the crap that Nike came out with the all green bottle green top of 14/15 - apparently to represent the kit we wore during the years the F5 were born, it was such a catalogue template we couldn’t even get it with white sleeves

Those two strips are my least favourite ever, the all green with the massive tacky Marathonbet transfer on the front was horrible - marginally better in person but rank compared to other years.

The slope one, along with being synonymous with the 2012 cup final, was brutal as well.

I would say since 2016 we’ve not had a bad strip, in fact the 2016 Nike kit was brilliant, and the very first Macron strip was stunning, one of my all time favourites.

[tamig]

If Joma were to produce a Hibs kit on a par with their Atalanta kits then you would be changing your opinion.

Its brand snobbery. Absolutely rife on the new kit threads over the past few years. Bit of ignorance involved too. “Pub league” indeed 😂

[BlackSheep]

I base my opinion on the team wear for any manufacturer, as most clubs will get a kit based on one of their templates, with some potential bespoke features added.

I’ve never been keen on Joma as a brand and neither Adidas nor Nike get my juices flowing. Macron have been getting better and better so it would be a shame to take a step backwards in my opinion.

If I could choose a manufacturer I would go for Puma currently as I think their unique catalogue of kits has been impressive, and very on trend for replica kits.

Don’t get me wrong Joma could do a macron, but I just don’t see it... they’re not tearing up trees anywhere with their current offerings.

[The Pointer]

Bit sunday league is it not

Agree and I always think Joma are an outfit for lower leagues. I've been impressed with Macron designs which have been fairly classic so would be happy to stay with them. Their only problem is with sizing.

[The Pointer]

Not at all, just based on designs and appearance of our own strips, and Joma do have a bargain basement appearance. Generally speaking Adidas, Nike and Macron have decent designs and an 'appeal' which Joma don't.

Adidas offerings lately have been pretty poor imo. I have a lot of Adidas gear from back in the day and still buy stuff from the Originals range. Their teamwear now is poor and look at what the likes of Aberdeen get served up. Nike didn’t really do us any favours with us a few years back other than give us the now iconic cup winning strip. The other strips provided were pretty naff. I like the Macron kits. Would be happy continuing with them but if not, more than happy to see what a new partnership brings.

If the famous Glasgae Celtic only get crap stock items from Adidas does anyone really think we won't get the same only rebadged for us. I grudge paying 60 quid for bargain basement stock stuff.

Recently got a hoodie, zip up top and jersey from Chester FC (long story) the quality of the Kappa stuff was really good. Sizes similar to Macron and made in the EU. Could be a good shout?

I'm a public critic of macron on this forum and I'm really not a fan, however I do appreciate the fact they've tried things. they've had a couple of decent efforts too.

My thoughts too, it seems livi will be getting Joma via pro direct. If Hibs are to go with them, i’d hope for a direct deal where we can majorly influence the kit design rather than pick from templates.

With Ron in and the commercial awareness increase there seems to have been, i’m hoping for hibs to secure a good deal that keeps them in control of designs.

Is it not that Livi are getting a 'bespoke' design? And that The Soccer Shop are just going to run and stock the livingston official shop? Similar to what Hibs had with Macron and PSL

Top one looks pretty smart to me.

Out of interest, what defines them as looking cheap?

For me they are too fussy, too many badges and logos that look like someone's mum has ironed them on, bad collar, material looks cheap and the colours and patterns on the strip look like Primark training gear 😁 Rather we keep it classic and simple for the home strip at least, Macron are just as bad at naff little embellishments.

They do a cracking Villa real training kit

Some real potential in a couple of those. He's done a great job.

That is awful.

Thought it looked decent for a training top tbh.

Beautiful, love the retro one with the harp badge. Hope we do something similair for our 150th anniversary but that's still a while away

[flash]

I hope the mock ups have been forwarded to the club. (Obviously they haven't but it wouldn't be a new strip thread I someone didn't suggest it.)

[Jones28]

Those mock ups are b e a utiful

[The dalmeny]

I assume any design a manufacturer comes up with gets signed off by the club

Puma are really doubling down on their awful text across the chest idea. The Italy away kit, the above monstrosity and there is a similar one doing the rounds for Dortmund.

I think the first is OK but not keen on the rest. not sure why, but i’m not keen on strips with the badge and manufacture being centre aligned.

I'm the same, just don't like it. We did it on an LCS purple away top around 2002, can't think of any others since then.

LCS home and yellow away 03/04 and last LCS kits 09/10, home, white away and black 3rd

I've obviously repressed all of those.

Was 09/10 the one where the badge was central but the LCS logo wasn't? Still don't like that arrangement, but it's less bad than having everything central.

Yep, it was on the shoulder I’m sure. The earlier ones, worn against Livi in the CIS final, had the LCS logo on the sleeves

Not for me thanks.

[MC-Hibby]

Have i missed something? Has it been officially confirmed that Joma will make next seasons kits or is this hear say/ overheard in Greggs or My auld man knows the guy that works in the shop kinda of info leaks? Was hoping for Umbro or perhaps Under Armour as I really rate their stuff.

Nothing confirmed yet.

Pretty sure I read somewhere that under armour are coming out of the football kits game?

[Anthony Soprano]

Joma could be an interesting shout. Personally would go for Kappa, done some nice strips in Italy and Spain and think they could do a brilliant job of a Hibs strip.

There's surely no way that's a real third kit, maybe a training top

I actually like the italy one though I must admit, but again it works better as a training kit

[StevesFamau5]

Pretty sure I read somewhere that under armour are coming out of the football kits game?It wouldn't surprise me to be honest. They are more performance wear than replica. I have more Under Armour base layers than any other brand.

Not Hibs strip related but chat amongst Aberdeen fans that this could be their kits for a next season. This is from the Aberdeen forums.

I don't see why so many crave adidas. Corporate, uninspiring templates.

Shame that Macron release their kit customising app just as we're meant to be leaving them. 😢

I don't see why so many crave adidas. Corporate, uninspiring templates.Too many people living in the past. The adidas kit from the early 90s is a beauty but adidas will never give us something like that.

Even the lesser greens are getting template crap and more often those awful templates with the crap collar.

If we want original or unique we need to go bespoke. Otherwise we will have to accept templates from the big brands at ridiculous prices.

They USED to look cool. Not now.

Gonna be sad to see the end of Macron tbh (if that's the case). Their kits have been real quality and class. One or two have become timeless too.

The sleeves with harp/ship/castle instead of the Umbro logo would look class.

Bit off topic but huge thanks to Neil in club shop for sorting an issue/refund for me concerning the yellow strip!

Those are exactly the direction I'd like to see Hibs go. Just modern in their look and feel and something different and fresh in the design.

How much do the sponsors ruin a good top eh

Interesting to see the changes over the years
