it's my 5000th post, so thought I should use it positively...

my favourite thing about Hibs is the colour green. It's ****ing tidy. Also, we're from the best part of Edinburgh. Plus, we won the Scottish Cup in the best way possible, and had probably the greatest sing-song in football history afterwards :aok:

Easter Road. It's my heart's home. I enjoy every matchday visit like it's my first and get a buzz just being there when going to the shop or TO or going to a function at other times. Nowhere else affects me like that.

I actually don't like the colour green as I don't suit it.

I like the consistent inconsistency. The Highs and lows you just ride like a roller coaster. The generations of my family that have gone before me when they arrived in leith

Our green and white strip is stunning, just stunning. There isn't a better sight in football than the lads running out the tunnel in our famous colours, home or away. Always slightly disappointed when we don't wear it.

My fellow fans. I genuinely believe we are one big family. Dysfunctional maybe but still a family. :greengrin

One of the most romantic clubs in football.

born in absolute poverty as a force for good to help those who literally had nothing, resented by the Establishment who tried to shaft us at every turn in our early days. Nearly buried twice, by our so-called ‘friends’ in Glasgow and our arrogant, pompous neighbours a hundred years later. But we persevered and survived every time and built a wonderful family football club.

do I wish we won more often? Of course. But I wouldn’t trade Hibs for any other team in the world.

oh, and the kit? Sexy as f***

It’s all about being proud of being in a football family for me - and what they stand for really - unlike many other teams.

Despite being a Glaswegian (my dad was from Roseburn) - I got Hibs when I was a pup - and I was able to get my daughter (also a Glaswegian) to get them too - magical to pass it on down the chain.

All this against a backdrop of my family being Jambos, being brought up in Glasgow, going to school where 90% were Huns and all my mates were Huns.

They were the footballing life for my dad and they are for my daughter and I.

Our club's early history, our colours, our name, our original crest, our stadium.

That you can proudly claim to support the hardest team in fitba to support.

A club that should have a stuffed trophy cabinet, but instead wins a cup on average about once every 15 years.

A club that should be safe from relegation every season, but gets relegated far more often than it should.

A club that can spend seasons playing in front of 9.000 and then spend 4 or so playing in front of 15,000 plus on the back of the most tenuous signs of a better future.

Big enough to have massive expectations, rarely good enough to live up to them.

Who can't love that :greengrin

Hibs are like a box of chocolates

For a start we are not Hearts. Growing up watching European football on the old terrace was magnificent. The green and white strip is also pretty special. If we hadn't won the cup in 16 I'd still be a fan. Winning it was very special.

there in a nutshell is the paradox of Hibernian FC and why it’s so so frustrating to support them. So many failed finals and semi finals and opportunities squandered.

I wouldn’t be half as stressed if I supported a team that had no hope of success.

I blame Hibs entirely for my hair loss.

I think our broad cultural heritage is the richest in Scottish Football and possibly the UK.

That strip is absolute sex on legs. Pure filth. Just gorgeous.

For my father bringing me up a Hibee and also my first top (1991 league Cup final) which I still have.

With edinburgh being my second home, one of the best feelings is walking up the stairs is for the princess street exit.

There are many, many teams harder to support than Hibs.

It’s certainly a rollercoaster at times and you can go from the sublime to the ridiculous in days rather than weeks, but the identity of being Hibs is more than just results. It’s easier to walk away from some other clubs than Hibs in times of strife ..
