My memory might be failing but the badge on the 1960’s scarf I had was quartered. I’m pretty sure it was castle, harp, thistle and ball but I do stand to be corrected
Bottle green with fur like tassels? I’ve got this very scarf in my collection and you’re right. I’ll dig it out,
im sure there may even have been a lion rampant on it too

[JimBHibees]

Of course our heritage is a lot more than being a Scottish football team.

But we play in green and white to show our Irish heritage, have the harp, castle and ship on our badge to symbolise our Irish, Edinburgh and Leith heritage.

So why not add a small thistle, an undeniable symbol of Scotland, to show our Scottish heritage?

Totally harmless and a nice touch in my opinion.

Agree totally how anyone is exercised to this extent by a little thistle is brilliant. Strip is fantastic imo,

[WeeRussell]

I dont want a Celtic badge on the Hibs top, but nor do i want ICT or Partick Thistle badge on a Hibs top.

I want a Hibs top to represent the Hibs club and community, which could, and should have been done by using the ship or the harp. Both are valid, and either will be more or less important to different fans, and thats ok. That is a discourse that has been going on among the Hibs support, and illustrates the difficult and complex identity Hibs have.

Adding another random symbol, which is literally the club crest of at least two other league clubs, is bizarre and odd. Hibs are going to be playing with the Partick Thistle or ICT badge on the back of the shirts, and that is just weird.

Clubs, and branding is supposed to differentiate, so stealing someone else's badge to randomly add to Hibs shirt is even more bizarre.

Ask 10,000 Hibs fans, or fans of any other club in Scotland for emblems they associate with Hibs, and i doubt any would have said a thistle.

Hibs went years of having *****y, meaningless, thoughtless crests, all because someone decided to drop the original crest, the one that the clubs founders chose. For the first time since then, Hibs have something of which the fans (or most fans) are pleased and proud. So use that, not Partick or ICTs badge.

What a lot of drivel. You’re the only person that could have dreamed up that we’ve nicked the badge of Inverness or Partick thistle - each who use a different thistle image to each other, and to the one on the back of our top. Would someone on here be greeting that we’ve taken the badge of Finn Harps in Donegal if the Harp image was stuck on the back? Or that we’ve nicked a ship from Plymouth?

The hibs club and community is represented by the strip and badge, as it is every time we bring out a new shirt. Adding something else on the back doesn’t take away from that. Were you upset when we put a big NHS on the front too?

If you hate the idea that Hibs are Scottish that much, I would suggest following a team that doesn’t play in Scotland.

I dont hate Hibs being Scottish, nor have i ever, so dont talk pish and put words in my mouth please.

And no, thats an idiotic argument - because Hibernian had the harp as its badge first, it is the Hibs badge. And the ship was added to represent Leith. Both of which are fundamental to Hibs identity. A thistle is not, nor has it ever been representative of Hibs, anymore than a rampant lion, a claymore, or the purple heather, an empty bottle of whisky or a heart of midlothian.

Anyway, this discussion has run its course, and when someone starts telling me to go and support another club, then thats when im out.

[Moulin Yarns]

Maybe it's because we are a scottish club.

That's been pointed out so many times already to this argument. It has become a circular argument, one poster believes that the club shouldn't have a thistle and he is obviously right whilst everyone else is wrong.

[Glory Lurker]

Surprised nobody has created a "thistle out" poll 😉

Said before but it's a classy touch for a club representing Scotland in European competition.

Agree. I'm guessing that's exactly why it's there. Perhaps it was felt that a saltire wouldn't go well with the green. Thistle is perfect.

[Since90+2]

Not to fussed either way about the Thistle. Although to continue with the Edinburgh theme if they wanted to put a symbol on the back they possibly could have used the Castle.

[Greenio]

Is there a difference?

Turn the argument on its head, you don't think the thistle represents hibs, but hibs are representing Scotland in Europe. It therefore makes sense to a lot of people.

A few years back Hearts played with a small Saltire on the back of their shirts. That flag doesn't belong to Hearts even though it does feature in the Heart of Midlothian, but has been far more of a feature of Ayr United's badge ( and I dare say other Scottish clubs ) for many years, I never heard any Hearts fans complaining about it because of that. If you want to argue the toss about thistles you could say the Scottish rugby team has first dibs on it. Anyway, the last time I looked thistles are green and purple, both colours Hibs can claim to have been the first in Scotland to use :greengrin

As for 'representing the community' .... Whether you are a Leith Hibby, an Edinburgh Hibby, a Borders Hibby like me, or a Hibby from anywhere else in the country chances are you are Scottish and bloody proud of it, so what's the problem with having a Scottish emblem on the shirts, especially in a season where we will be representing our league in Europe. We rightly have a harp on our badge to acknowledge the clubs founders and the emblem they originally chose to represent it and their Irish origins. 99% of the people who support Hibs are Scottish and most probably have little or no connection to Ireland, so it's beyond me why anybody would have a problem with having a tiny wee thistle on the back of the club's shirt for one season, an emblem far more identifiable as Scottish than the Saltire or wee red lions.

I don't disagree with your points. I've supported and followed both Hibs and the Scottish football team since I was a kid and they are the only 2 football teams I have any interest in.

For me though, the thistle, as cracking a symbol as it is, is a national emblem of Scotland and therefore is more appropriate to represent a national sport/association/organisation (obvious exceptions would be ICT, Partick Thistle, etc.). As you elude to, Hibs identity is already perfectly depicted by the harp, ship and castle and I don't think there is any need to add to that.

Again though, it's just a matter of preference and I don't see it as a big deal. Looking through the thread I don't see anyone getting their knickers in a twist over the subject, but it does go to show that there's wide range of differing views across the Hibs support with regard to the club's identity.

[McD]

We make our Irish roots clear with our name, colours and harp on our club badge.

we are a Scottish club playing in Scotland's capital city, representing Scotland in European competition, yet its a problem for some that we place an image highly related to Scotland on our jersey, in a less than prominent position.


it seems to me to be not be an anti Irish issue but an anti Scottish one for some. There’s 3 clear connections to our heritage displayed, yet we’re not supposed to recognise and celebrate our Scottishness with a tiny icon on the back of the jersey. Aye ok

[nonshinyfinish]

"The most leaves ever found on a single clover stem (Trifolium repens L.) is 56 and was discovered by Shigeo Obara of Hanamaki City, Iwate, Japan, on 10 May 2009."

IMO this gives the Japanese the sole claim on clovers of any type and all Scottish clubs should steer clear.

Unfortunately I’m no longer in touch with the guy who gave me the scarf - I did however (unfortunately for me maybe!) wear it religiously during the period I was home and away every week which embarrassingly enough coincided with my wannabe Paul Weller/ Beady Eye mod without a scooter phase - the pictures are atrocious from maybe late 2010-2014 but it seen plenty Hibs action!

From a distance I think it looks good (the collar is excellent) although an aesthetic point of view I've never liked designs woven into a strip. I'd prefer it just to be plain green. However, I get the need for marketing gimmicks and this launch has been impressively handled. I think it will sell really well.

Too many emotional beers for me last night. Must be out of practice 🤣 it’s a long time since a scarf that size would fit me but will always have great memories arriving at ER from the age of 7 in 1966. Bus in from Dalkeith with my brother and older cousin and that walk from the bus station to the ground always seemed longer on the way. The programme sellers that dotted the route from the corner of London Road/Easter Road and the same guy on the post at the end of Crawford Bridge. Then the scarves and rosettes being sold outside. My rosette had to be renewed every time we went despite my best efforts to keep them safe as part of the bedroom wall display. And the ever increasing density of pipe and cigarette smoke the closer you got to the turnstiles.
Through the turnstile (I only ever remember being lifted over once) and a race to our spot at the wall on the centre line. ( hence the name I use on here).
Enjoying the game and checking off the half time scores on the programme.
After the game the walk back to the bus station took just long enough for the Pink News to arrive at the kiosk and the excitement big checking out the report and especially the pictures of the match. Then that endless bus journey on the smoke filled bus back to Dalkeith. All that for less than a pound.

The scarves like yours were readily available in sports shops and with the sellers outside the games. No idea who made them but because the tie also had the same design and badge I’m thinking there must have been some endorsement from the club.

Thanks for the memories and maybe I need to spend less time on the strong ales at Stewarts Brewery on a Friday night. 🤣

Aye hasn’t worried me mate and I’m new to this board but come across it before and it’s more infuriating than worrying. Don’t see the big fuss about it tbh and I think the club overall, as well as the vast majority of the support, seem to have a common sense approach and appreciation of what we are, a Scottish club with Irish roots. Yet there are always the odd ones who have to make a big deal about it for reasons only known to them 🤷*♂️

From one quote on the release date they said it was a good fit and felt like a football top so I assumed it was back to normal sizes.

[Renfrew_Hibby]

So glad we have no sponsors on the back, makes it look so much better. I'm guessing the deal with utilita more than compensates for any lost revenues. Also how many years since we had neither a betting firm or an alcoholic beverage on our tops?

To be honest I've no idea how it works - what rights differents sponsors have in respect of replica strips, etc. But in the past different sponsorships have been announced at different times and IIRC the Beep Beep shorts deal was announced during the season.

I think they have a couple of years remaining before the licence is up for renewal.

It’s quite a nice looking shirt but got a bit of a “bottom six” look about it. Not blown away on the pinstripes.

Do people really calculate the value of a replica kit based on how much the team wear it? I buy the tops I like and don't buy the others – it's a simple system but it works for me.

We don't NEED an away kit against anyone. We managed for the best part of a century playing celtic without changing our strip. It's all about cash and making as much as possible. You could look at it and say clubs are ripping of fans, or just giving them a choice in strios to wear. I expect the 3rd kit to be purple now after seeing that strip

That’s partly the reason we usually have a 3rd kit as well.

I’m way past the age where wearing a replica strip is acceptable but stuff it, I’m buying that one. :greengrin

[duffers]

Add me to the disappointed list. Was hoping for a bit of a shanner to save me forking out on another top, but I absolutely love it and will be handing over another £60 to the club. Let’s hope the 3rds pretty average as I’m no sure my bank balance could handle another belter

If that kit had the same collar as the home top it would be an all time classic.
It's still a great kit though. Nice work Joma.

[Dalianwanda]

It’s fine..Not got the wow factor of the home one for me. Seems i’m in the minority though & hope it sells well.

By far one of the best Hibs tops I think I’ve ever seen. Definitely the first for years I’ll be buying anyway. What a debut this has been for Joma.

[c31]

Great strips both of them, really like the away strip, but why don’t the club make them available earlier. I would have bought a few for my grandsons to ware on holidays instead of other tee shirts. Time they’re out they’re back at school.

[leithsansiro]

I'm going to admit that I was sceptical about Joma when we announced the deal as I naively judged their lack of "Big Team Pedigree", but I reckon they've pulled it out of the bag and have came up with two good designs that are everything a Hibs strip should be.

If the away one actually was from the 80's, it'd be a collectors items now and would be well sought after.

That’s my understanding and no evidence of any football club before 1875. I’m no historian but was told this by a historian who is a published author in football history related books and I’ve no reason to doubt the snippet of information. It made me wonder what motives a club would have to backdate their history.

The new away kit is getting a serious amount of love on twitter, mostly from fans of English clubs.
Looks like Joma have hit the spot.

I’ll definitely be getting a couple of both new tops, both will be very desirable.

Posers.Hibernian had a swimming club at Infirmary Street baths. Right up until the 80's, I think.

Hearts fan over the road reckons our new kit is “Celtic as f***”

What?

I think Hearts kits are all a bit Arbroath

I'm going to get the away one. My laddie will thank me for it in about 20 years time. Classic.

Love both of them. A really good start for Joma.

I've seen a few folk praising Peter Burt (Hibs creative manager) for the two kits - superb from him if I'm reading into it correctly and they've both been designed in-house. That's truly bespoke!

Yes, a really good effort.

Peter is a top operator, heavily involved in both strips

[Lancs Harp]

Both strips more than decent and a bit of thinking out of the box for the home shirt. I'll probably buy the away shirt.
