Pre-Season

[Alex Trager]

Thought I’d start a thread on it.

Club released pictures of the players reporting back.

Doidge, Cadden, Hendo, Magennis, Marshall, Mackay and Newell all pictured here.

What new players are we still awaiting work permits or international clearance for, is it just the guy from Gambia?

[BoomtownHibees]

More pics just put up on Twitter. Loving the mint green training tops

[Pretty Boy]

Mint green kit is top notch. Will be getting a top for 5s.

I think we can assume Macey to Luton is all but done if Marshall is wearing number 1 in the training gear.

[HibeeMackenzie]

Looks like JDH has got the number 8 as well

[Cuikyhibs]

The training gear looks really smart!

[HendoDelivered]

Tidy training gear

I think Miller is.

A couple of times I’ve heard the phrase on telly here that his transfer is conditional on getting international clearance,,…

International clearance is different than work permits. Work permits relate to the right to work in the UK while international clearance is a FIFA regulation. It’s essentially to ensure that a player moving registration between different international associations is free to do so. FIFA gives international associations up to 30 days to provide clearance.

Few players missing from the photos - Mcginn, Stevenson, Porto . Have they been given longer or have I missed them

Porto is in one of the photos, he’s posted it to his Instagram.

Wouldn’t have minded seeing a photo of Magennis in full training. Hopefully we will see one in the coming days.

[Dashing Bob S]

Not a top 4 squad at present. Some more work in the transfer market required.

[Alex Trager]

The pre season video ended with a harp instead of the full badge.

How interesting

Need at least 4/5 more signings I think. McGeady, striker, centre midfielder, centre back and Doig replacement if he leaves which is very likely.

I love that mint green training kit. Kinda glad that it's not the away kit as the tops are likely to be a bit cheaper :greengrin

McGinn is very briefly in one of the shots in the instagram video and Newell is simply arriving at HTC when the video was filmed and didn’t feature in any other shots…. Doesn’t mean he didn’t train….

There was a serial moaner on facebook and Twitter on strip launch day whining like ****** about the thistle on the strip, pointing out that the harp is the club's emblem. They're probably just trolling him.

Fair play to the club if they are doing that.

I also am hoping it’s the start of the campaign to move toward a harp and hoops for 150 😃

Think this will definitely be our crest for our centenary season.
Lots of crests in England have been modernised or simplified in recent seasons. Not just to freshen up the brand but there are practical and commercial reasons for having a more simplified club badge. Even the Rangers have dropped the stars after so many years!
The Hibs crest is one of the more complex ones out there and and I can imagine Ben perhaps at least wanting to explore a less busy/complex crest.
Norwich City have rebranded their identity this summer but it would have been singed off a while ago, probably Ben played a big part in the process.

I would hope that the supporters would be consulted on any changes to the club crest, just like we were when the current one was introduced and one was chosen out of a list of several put forward by the fans.

For me the current crest perfectly represents everything related to the club's roots - ship for Leith, castle for Edinburgh, harp for Ireland, the ball for the fact we're a football club and the 1875 for when we were founded.

If there's going to be a change for our 150th anniversary then I'm not against it personally (although it would be a plain white top with a harp logo that we would wear to commemorate our 150th year rather than wearing the hoops which were introduced in 1876) but I would hope that this would be temporary unless the fans voted on a permanent change like we did last time.

[Eyrie]

Our colours have been long established as green body with white sleeves, which is why the green t-shirt effort a few years ago was deservedly reviled.

But for our 150th anniversary I wouldn't mind our original 1875 kit with a harp in place of the badge as the home kit, with our traditional green and white used as the away kit for one season only (preferably Famous Five style, although Tornados would be OK).

The hoops weren't our first strip. The firsts trip worn was a white Jersey. Why would we wear hoops to celebrate 150 years. Fine with the Harp but not the hooped strips

Edit.. didn't see the two posts above. 100% correct white strip with harp will be fine. No idea why folk want us to wear hoops.

Assuming you mean out the way as there’s no way we will be top 4 with a squad of 30 odd players. Can’t keep a squad that size happy and united. A couple of very good signings and then 10 out the door and we’ll be fine.

As others have mentioned, loving the mint green top too!

To be fair I don't think some of our 34 players will necessarily expect much game time to begin with;

Marshall
Macey
* Dabrowski
* Mitchell

McGinn
Porteous
Doig
Hanlon
Cadden
Stevenson
Bushiri
Miller
* Delferriere
* MacIntyre
Mitchell
* McGregor

Newell
Doyle Hayes
Campbell
* Tait
* Hauge
Magennis
Henderson
* Blaney
* Aiken
* Hamilton
Kenneh
* Mackay
Tavares

Nisbet
Doidge
Melkersen
* Bojang
* O'Connor

Players with asterisks will probably either be away on loan or happy with being a backup or making a few appearances from the bench. That takes it down to 21 players who will probably be expecting to be in the first team which is a bit more realistic and that's before you consider that McGinn, Macey, Doig and Porteous will all probably be away by the time the window shuts.

Fantastic measured response.

I love the current badge as it represents us all and the Harp is part of our history but does not represent our history as an Edinburgh football club

Don't think the harp being on that vid mentioned on the thread earlier is an indication of a change of logo. The ball is on one of those vids, the full badge on another and I've seen another video with the castle on it. They are obviously just being arty on the video production.

Seems a lot of effort has been put in to reconnect with fans over the period of pre season.

Communications have been very good so far, I wonder how much of that can continue into the mew season, of course it won’t matter if we are winning but it all helps.

Lets see what next week brings but with the teams we have in the group, they really aren’t anywhere near the level of quality we have faced today so should be topping that group with ease

No offence to Preston Athletic but this score underlines why the club are right to tread a different path with the development squad rather than joining the lowland league. With the exception of 2/3 teams, the standard in that league is not very good.

Massive difference to the EoS league which Preston Athletic play in compared to the Lowland League.

Dont think Preston are even in the top league of the EoS are they?

One below, division 1

Big fall from grace over the years for Preston. They were touted to get into the league system when I think Annan went in instead of them?

Balde balance, and reading of the game was different class.
Connor Young big strong lad, good finisher.
I enjoyed both games for the under 18, but Balde looks a better prospect than Tait.
Preston we’re poor so it’s hard to tell.

Opposition were poor tonight but still some impressive performances I thought. Connor Young certainly knows where the goal is and that second goal was a great move. The left back Macintyre has plenty of running power as well similar to Doig.

How did megwa play? From the couple times I seen him last season he looked a no nonsense commanding centre back.

He's a right back?

Thought Balde looked a class above, great awareness and won't be too far off the first team squad, Blaney playing alongside Daz at the back done well, he can certainly pick out a pass, Keith Wright's laddie Harry also done well when he came on late in the game.

By Sauzee I can mind Harry being born. That can't be possible 😆

I'm not 100% sure but it could of been a back three he was playing, anyway hopefully another decent youngster to push on in the next few years.

Josh O’Connor still injured I take it? Must have been a bad one, he’s been out for months

aye he’s been at the games, but still injured.

[Brooster]

Naturally a right back. He played RB last night and LB against Tranent. Great prospect.

Offence taken. I take it you don’t look at Scotlands pyramid system too often. Preston are literally leagues away from the Lowland League. If both Rangers and Celtics B team couldn’t win the Lowland last year then that in itself shows that the Lowland League is a good standard. They certainly didn’t get it their own way last year and I doubt Hibs would too.

Aren’t they just one league away ? Premier division of the east of Scotland league.
