Joma kits

[Hibee Mac]

Has there been any update on a third kit?

Seems to me the only team we ‘need’ to wear a change for is Celtic. Our change kit will still be a clash with Celtic home.

Even worse problem for Celtic, their away top (white with green) and third strip (all green) both clash with Hibs home. Celtic could go back to last years 3rd kit (black) which is with the same manufacturer, I assume that would be a problem with Hibs and the change to Jota.

I like the strips this year but it does seem a bit daft to not have a change strip that you can use in the event of a clash. Albeit I accept that the clash with Celtic is a bit of a modern phenomenon (tv driven I reckon)I haven't heard anything.

I think a lot more fuss is made about change strips Vs Celtic than is needed. Each home side wears their home strip and the other one just tends to sort something out, Celtic wore an old pink strip against us recently I think, can be an old seasons strip doesn't really matter too much.

Hibs will be fine in green shorts with the home kit but it’ll never happen. I don’t even class Celtic as a team that wears green, they play in all white with a a couple horizontal green stripes. We clash more with the likes of Dundee

I totally agree that it’s not necessary and not really a clash, photos from as recent as the 90s with both teams wearing home kit, wasn’t a problem then. Maybe eyesight wasn’t better?

however it is regarded as a clash by the league and I assume tv. Celtic can wear last seasons kit as same manufacturer but not sure Hibs can?

I still think it’s a bit mad that this isn’t a factor in the design process.

on a similar note, Celtic are playing Betis this week and will have a clash there, I can’t see an obvious change for them so assuming Betis play in home kit, Celtic will have to find a change.

Agree it’s not that much of a clash and changing shorts makes it white v green. But it’s clear the league see it differently.

remember when Scotland had to wear an away strip against England because of white sleeves on the shorts?, seems to me tolerance for any kind of clash is pretty low these days

Is it not a fifa or uefa rule at international level about clashes?

So currently the rules state that the shirt body, sleeves, shorts and socks cannot clash or be similar.

The rules do however state that if the visiting team doesn't have a registered kit that meets all conditions that the home team are then due to wear a kit that means there will not be a clash. In this instance Celtic would likely have to wear their black kit from last year, ,both at Parkhead and at Easter Road.

Would be satisfying turning up at Celtic park and playing in green while that shower have to wear an old kit.

In the Euros, teams couldn’t wear similar coloured shorts - Italy wearing dark blue in a few games when they played a team in white shorts. Is that rule in place here as well now?

According to the SPFL rules yeah.... hence why we wore white shorts against Motherwell in the first game of the season with our away kit as Motherwell wore dark maroon shorts.

This is the rule, but i have seen some games played with clashes, i guess its down to the referee preach to allow it.... which to me just shows the poor standard of officiating in Scotland, the rules were amended to help them make decisions on hand balls, corners etc... sometimes the officials see it hit a body part and can only identify who's body part it was by the colour or shade of the strip/shorts. To allow games to proceed with these clashes just shows how much they don't care and think they know better.

I like this rule. It provides more variety with the kits and follows proper Uefa guidelines.

Did both Old Firm teams not play in white shorts last week?

Rangers normally wear all blue or their away kit against us at Easter Road.

I hear ye, but there's also something equally satisfying about winning a 'battle of the greens' (them in the hoops they choried from us).

Like I said these things are signed off by the ref pre match… I’d guess no ref would wanna piss off any of the old Firm.
