Some nice stuff to be fair, the old Hibs badge jumper is looking tempting.

The price is probably fairly standard now for these types of things when you probably consider there's costs to use the Hibs brand on Art of Football's part.

Yeah sadly what jumpers like this cost nowadays especially when it’s bespoke stuff. Agree the grey jumper looks good. There’s something about the Saturn badge that will always be iconic. Kind of wish we’d kept it now even though I like the current badge

I'm no sure £60 for a grey hoodie is standard. You could pick one of those up minus the badge for a tenner in Junction Street.

Depends on the quality really. If these are well made then £60 might be reasonable value.

I paid £60 for a grey Superdry hoodie 10 years ago and it lasted me ages unlike the ones you would pick up down Great Junction Street. If these are of good enough quality then £60 is the going rate. For reference I'm not long back from Tomorrowland and their branded hoodie were £100 and sold out on the first day

Was looking forward to this but I'm a bit disappointed tbh.

I like stuff with the retro badges on but there is nothing really to these. It just feels like something that could have been so much better and that's unusual because AOF are normally spot on with their stuff.

Price point is about what I would expect so no real issue there.

£40 to £80 for anything that is specially made and branded up such as these is the going rate on initial release, especially if it's legit copyrighted from the club as opposed to anything fake or illegal.

Pretty unimaginative and dull imo.

Nothing there I fancy buying tbh.

£60.00 is over priced and probably made in the same sweatshop as the tenner ones on Gt Junction St.

£30.00 for a tee-shirt as well.

Not for me.

Anyone know if they'll also be in the club shop or is it just online?

Looking at the images provided, it looks exactly the same as the type bought in Junction Street, but with a retro badge on it.

I prefer the prints to the clothing.

I dinnae mind paying £60 for a decent hoodie, but I’m no spending £60 on a Hibs hoodie.

Something I’m only gonnae wear to the football? No worth it for me.

One of the prints is of the Famous Five stand with the infamous “Terry Butcher’s Green and White Army” slogan. Whoever okayed that is needing their jotters.

Haha thought the same - absolutely should've been the Persevered banner as it is today!

Ruins what would be an excellent print IMO

I was the exact same. I hovered over buy and then realised what it was. Why they never went with "Persevered", which has been there for so long untouched because it is such a famous image, I don't know. Did someone from the club even look at these?

They've been selling the prints for a few years now.

It's only the clothing range that is new.

I think some of the prints are old.

AOF has sold Hibs stuff for years, the 'At Last' print was on a T shirt within weeks of May 2016 happening. I've got one stuck at the bottom of a drawer somewhere, I actually think we might have given one away on here as part of a competition when AOF asked us.

I'm assuming Hibs are pushing this because the link up is now official and all the stuff with badges on it and so on are now fully copyrighted. AOF selling Hibs gear certainly isn't new.

As I said above I'm a bit disappointed. I read the marketing waffle about telling the fans stories and the stories of the people of Leith and so on and expected something to reflect that. A white T shirt with a crown badge and a grey sweatshirt with a saturn badge doesn't really do that unless I'm totally missing something.

I agree entirely.

I was really excited by the link-up, but have to admit to being thoroughly underwhelmed by what is on offer.

Lazy and unimaginative comes to mind.

I think they will shift some prints, the 'ER at night' one will probably sell.

I like the print that's a take on the Pantone colour codes - it's imaginative. And it puts to bed the whole emerald vs bottle debate :greengrin

I like both T-shirts not sure I’d spend the £60 for both probs just be kicking around the house stuff, black zipper also looks decent id prefer to see that before buying though

Totally agree. Framed print was going to be added to the basket until I saw that :bitchy:

Some pretty nice stuff in there though. Like the t-shirt with the drawings of the old strips.

ER at night features the "Terry Butcher's Green and White Army" sign!

The framed poster of a green piece of paper is a cracker though :hilarious
