150th Anniversary Kit rumours and info thread

[BlackSheep]

As it says on the tin, I figured we needed a thread to start speculating or even revealing info on our kits for next season.

Very little (if anything) has been leaked or released so far… but there’s always a few posters with inside info.

Fire away!

The only speculative detail so far is the potential for the harp/thistle badge… personally it’s not my cup of tea… I would’ve preferred a simple harp design from previous branding.

[hibsforeurope]

i've no info but I hope we go back to offering long sleeve versions of the kit to tie in with the strips of the past.

[SHODAN]

Our first kit was all white with green stripes down the shorts and green socks, would be interesting if we went for that.

Also wouldn't be surprised if we went with an all-green top ala 2014.

[Viva_Palmeiras]

Pretty pish rumour but I’ve heard that someone I trust knows what the strip will look like wasn’t giving away - didn’t probe tbf. So it must have been settled is the un-pish bit of news.

That's the one it should be. With a harp on the shirt.

A lot of hibs fans on twitter seem obsessed with the idea it should be hoops, which as mentioned many times on here would be a very odd choice given it was only worn for two or three years and wasn't even the first kit.

:agree:

It doesn't make any sense, to me, to have any other strip than a replica of our first one.

[Pretty Boy]

I really hope we make any anniversary kit our first choice kit for the season. It's pish when teams release these strips then wear them about twice.

Celtic had a kit for their 125th anniversary that was decent as far as Celtic things go and hardly wore it, same with Hearts last season (and controversially I thought that kit was very well done).

White anniversary kit as home/1st top, green as an away/2nd kit and not really fussed what we do for a 3rd.

[mcohibs]

Hope the honking ‘bevvy’ sponsor is nowhere near any of our kits next season, whether that’s the anniversary version or the standard home and away kits.

[babahibs]

Has to be our first kit, all white, green socks, not sure how they'd do the brown belt though.
Harp on chest, no sponsor, job's a good'un.
The hoops chat is nonsense.

[Bishop Hibee]

I’ve no problem with a dark green and white hooped top for a third strip.

Be very surprised if the majority of Hibs fans were buying that, i for one have no desire to buy a top which makes us look like celtic. Regardless of it being a top we wore once a very long time ago it wasn't our first and the first white strip with the harp should be the one we use.

I cringe at the inevitable "cousins of celtic" "diet celtic" etc. that will be banded about - the club should go no where near that strip..

Same.

My worry is that Joma are making the kits.

This year's home kit, whilst still having a bizaare collar, has grown on me since we moved to white shorts, but the third white kit was so poorly executed for what should be a great kit. Hopefully they surprise me.

Is there demand for a hooped kit? From Hibs fans? I wouldn't buy it.

[Pretty Boy]

:agree:

The whole hoops obsession confuses me if I'm honest.

Beyond 'winding up Celtic' (which it wouldn't anyway) I see no reason at all why a significant anniversary should be marked by a hooped top. It wasn't our first strip, it wasn't an early strip that was used for a particularly long time and it's not the kit most synonymous with us throughout our history. We wore hoops for 3 years in the 19th century. That's it.

The hoops are Celtics. Ask anyone who knows Scottish football which club wore, wears and will forever wear green and white hoops and they will say Celtic. They didn't steal them from us, they adopted them more than 2 decades after we stopped wearing them. Of all the things to be bitter about when it comes to Celtic that is pretty far down the list imo.

Our 150th anniversary should be a celebration of Hibs. Hibs as a whole and only Hibs. Any thought that any part of it should be used to try and wind up Celtic or provoke a reaction from any other fanbase can quite frankly get in the bin. I'd buy pretty much any anniversary tat Hibs throw out for us but a hooped kit leaves me cold and I doubt I'd buy it.

[GreenCastle]

The sponsor / kit manufacturer has to be subtle or ideally with the sponsor not on it.
These things always ruin plain kits.

So you want to wear the home kit every time possible but doubt Bevvy will agree to not be on it unless a special edition kit.

I'm sure the initial Bevvy deal is up at the end of this season, i agree that it's a tough sell for a sponsor to agree to pay but not get the exposure on the kit.

hopefully the European exposure allows us to avoid putting a sponsor on the front of the 150th kit.

It was announced as "at least" two years so not sure if it's guaranteed to be up or if they've taken up options for another year etc. That said you'd like to think that we'd be getting announcements soon on a new shirt sponsor if we were getting one.

[hibee bouncer]

If a sponsor is required (hopefully not) then I’d hope the club dictate maybe an embossed logo, the same colour as the top, so it doesn’t stand out as much or maybe put it on the back like the Crabbies one on the 2016 kit.

The hooped strip was the first top we had with green on it so there is a bit of significance. It also looks great with the HFC right across the chest. It can't really be anything barring the first top though for the centenary top but I wouldn't want it as the home strip as I think that should always be green. Maybe do the first strip we had that resembles our current strip for the home strip and the initial kit as the away top

The hoops would be an interesting choice for a 3rd kit, to be worn at some point a few years after the anniversary year.

I quite like a nod back to a point in history (I think a smart, all white kit like the one that has been posted above is class for the 150th anniversary) and the hoops are part of that history, albeit a small one.

I’d like to see it done at some point but in an understated sort of way.

Tend to agree that the home top should always be green. That’s who we are. An all white centenary top looks good too.

Hoops are an absolute no no for me

[Brizo]

For our 150th home kit I'd like to see our first ever white kit with the original club crest on it for a one off anniversary season , with our current crest on the back where the thistle logo usually is. For our away kit id like to see that reversed with a green away kit and same badge arrangement. Ideally no sponsor on home kit although appreciate that's probably not financially viable so maybe option to buy adult ones minus sponsor.

[Jakhog1]

For our kit I would like to see a white home kit with the joma logo the same colour as the kit, also don't want to see the joma logo on the sleeves, badge should be exactly the same as the original in being the harp and hopefully no sponsors on it, keep it simple is the key here

Think that is likely what it will be, although I’ve a feeling it will be the harp/thistle badge that the club has been using recently

[Ship of Hope]

We are celebrating our 150th year not our first and so not sure about the obsession with our first kit or the harp badge. I am hoping for a nice, well designed kit that reflects the club now. We are currently supported by people with a range of beliefs and backgrounds and the harp feels a little one dimensional to me. We have never been an Irish club and whilst formed by a catholic priest the club is way more than that now. It is the “now” we should be celebrating mostly imo with a nod to our heritage perhaps. What that looks like I am happy to wait and see

It's an anniversary of the year of formation, therefore it will celebrate the formation.

Normal years reflect the current club.

[Ship of Hope]

I respect your opinion but disagree. A 25 year wedding anniversary does not celebrate the day you were married but the fact you are still married after 25 years. It celebrates the milestone not the inception. Same with the clubs 150th anniversary I feel.

Not bought a Hibs top in years but I think I'll buy the 150th anniversary one. Will be a good thing to keep.

Incidentally, the last one I bought was the bottle green one we won the cup in so you can all thank me if we win the cup next season.

[Hibs Go Bragh]

There's no way we will get an anniversary kit without a sponsor as our home kit that we can wear every week. As already been said, just look at Hearts last year who only wore it a couple of times. We will be the same

I'm sure Aston Villa has an all black strip this year but the adidas logos etc are the same colour so you can't even notice it, we can surely get Joma to agree to that? but we'll still need a home strip with a sponsor imo.

[21.05.2016]

I really hope the club get this right. A real chance to produce a cracker and something unique. Please no hoops though. We might have had them first but it’s not something anyone really associates with hibs anymore.

Plain white or green with the harp as the badge, no sponsor would be lovely.

I was always very strongly against the idea of a reintroducing the hooped shirt as a commemorative anniversary strip, and arguing that one of the main reasons folk had for proposing the idea was that it would wind up and annoy Celtic and their fans, but in light of the shambles at Hampden on Saturday and the consequences for Hibs, I’d like to see us reintroduce the hooped shirt as a commemorative anniversary strip.

It will be a major mistake and will flop. You’d think they would have taken some feedback from fans before doing this.

It’s just a strip though so I’m not worried but the opportunity to make some money from a big selling Centenary strip will have been a missed opportunity.

Joma is another big problem.

[Broken Gnome]

Regardless of what the kit is like, who wass involved in its design?

I can't imagine we'd end up with a design loathed by the people that are meant to be buying it, especially given it's a significant milestone and the 150th year has been subject to various surveys/consultations. If that came to pass, you'd have to wonder why? It's not like Joma have done a crash course on our history and randomly come up with hoops as definitively the way to go.

[Hibees1973]

Must admit I'd be astonished if they go with hoops. This along with bevvy on it, would be a switch off for me.

Fine, some people could retort with 'we had hoops first'. But really hoops have been and are synonymous will Celtic for the best part of 140 years and anyone other that Hibs supporters, if we turned out with a hoops top, would say this is like Celtic. The optics are not very good at all.

In recent years any kind of comparison with the ethics and beliefs of Celtic, which can be highly visible in their support is something to keep well away off. These ethics and beliefs are completely foreign to the vast majority of Hibs supporters I know.

A classic home kit, like the one from 1973 would do it for me.

It would not be a token gesture of 150th year and one we would see week in, week out.

Must admit I'd be astonished if they go with hoops. This along with bevvy on it, would be a switch off for me.

1973/2000 home tops are the best we’ve had. Hopefully something like those.

I’d be amazed if anyone even suggested hoops as a design and even more amazed if it was agreed to go with them

[nonshinyfinish]

Something like this would be ok (obviously green hoops and 2 rather than 3) which is what im guessing it could be:

28843

But doesnt make sense for anniversary year as I said.

Joma is another big problem.

Yeah, but the original version of the rumour was "hooped bottom third of the new strip", so it doesn't sound like it could just be a couple of thin hoops. Hope the whole thing is just a wind up.

Both those kits were beauties.

Can't be a coincidence that we absolutely annihilated hearts in both those years too in two of our most celebrated derby results :greengrin

A very valid point! :greengrin Over to you Hibs :thumbsup:

[Tambo]

I wonder if we just got down the hearts root and have the anniversary kit as our third with a replica of our first kit, I would like to see the original harp but think it might be the one we released not long ago.

I think having 3 different replica like kits would be great, a 50's/70's style would be cool for the home, not sure about away kit, alot of people like the green and purple stripes, we've had that a couple of times in recent years, nice shout for the purple bukta away.

Not really sure any of other yellow numbers have been classics.

Yes, this is a fine example of how to design an anniversary kit… for us is stay away from the lettering style badge and go for the classic harp…. But the plain and simple colouring is how I hope we go for.

I’d love to see the joma logos match the material colours they sit on and even the shirt sponsor do the same… it would really make the kit something to talk about so neither the manufacturer or sponsor would lose out on any attention.

I like that strip.. could be in hibs colours with all the shades of green we have worn, white, black and and purple. Not sure about a 150th top but might look quite smart with the coloured bands rather than hoops.

[Ship of Hope]

Nope! Just you wait and see!!

Top part of our strip will be green with a couple of white hoops below.

I’m staking my .net reputation on this happening!

Careful Chief things could be about to go from bad to worse 😂

[danhibees1875]

I'm not artistic, but done a little AI mock up of a blended version of the first and second kits; white, "hfc", and hoops.

I'm not sure I like it now I've actually seen it but I'm sharing anyone since its done now. :greengrin

[Pretty Boy]

I've always quite fancied a home top with a white band across the middle a la Insave/P&D Windows in the 80s.

I would possibly tolerate hoops if it was a kind of fade thing from white to hoops to bottle green then topping out with emerald green and white sleeves. A kind of history of our kits in one. A bit like those mash ups Nike and Adidas sometimes do for their teams as a merch piece. It would probably be far too busy though and just look a mess.

The thing with hoops is there is a very, very noisy minority who are obsessed with them. It seems particularly notable on Twitter which is where Hibs do a huge amount of engagement and it may have created a false picture of how popular they would be. In real life I don't think I have ever spoken with a Hibs fans who wants a hooped kit.

My hope would be if we had some kind of hoop feature on our home kit it would be one of a trio of anniversary kits and we got a proper Hibs strip as a 3rd/anniversary strip proper.

I have never met a Hibs fan (in my circle anyway) who wants hoops, so we dabbled over a hundred years ago very briefly and someone took a picture....its just not us. I could maybe, just maybe accept a horizontal pinstripe but even as I type I find myself thinking 'meh'. For me a celebration of our history needs to take in the highlights of all our 150 years.....hoops were a blink of an eye that no one is alive to remember.

Absolutely, the 1970s style strip is far more iconic, a throw back to that or the strip you see Eddie Turnbull in with the collar would be much better suited, any hoops would be a disaster

[Carheenlea]

The suggestion of a couple of hoops at the bottom of a shirt doesn’t really fill me with horror. It could well be that it looks fine, and would blend into the white shorts. While It’s not the first kit, there’s no rules that say commemorative shirts have to follow strict protocols regarding the very first kit used. It’s a nod to the early years, part of of our heritage with it being the strip we played in for three of the first four years of our existence.

I wouldn’t be for going all in fully hooped, but I do think the suggestion has some potential. It can’t be any worse than the candy striped sleeves of the mid 90’s.

[CanonHannon]

Home - 1970s style home kit with quality material. Classic design.
Away - White top like the first strip with Harp on there like the original.
Third - Hoops in dark green with HFC. Nothing like Celtics strip.

I agree it seems a bit daft to do 4 or 5 but I suppose it's all but a license to print money so can see why there might be a thought process of the more, the merrier.

The Harp celebrates our Irish immigrant origins just like our name and colours. Are they also "religious nonsense". Should they be ditched.

Our early history is something to be immensely proud of as is the evolution of the Club to be one that's followed today by people from all backgrounds and all or no religions. I've been involved in a number of Hibs-related historical projects and nearly all my pals I've worked with on them have been atheists, lapsed Church of Scotland members with few being Catholics and even fewer being practising Catholics. To try and paint anyone who's interested and proud of our early history as being driven by some kind of religious agenda is pure ignorance.

It’s a real shame that Celtic fans warped sense of what it means to be Irish has led some of our support to be dismissive of our history.

We have a rich history and a unique origin story of which we should be immensely proud. Those bold people 150 years ago gave us a football club to cherish. It’s an integral part of who we are. It should be celebrated, it should be preserved.

Whether people like it or not the club’s links to Ireland lie deep in our name, colour and badge. Without it we’d be just another bland club in Scotland like that lot across the city.

I started supporting Hibs in the 60s because my dad took me, not because of nationality or religion, so symbols of these things are not important to me.

I don't know about that - according to the book, both Rangers and Celtic allowed anyone to play for them while we allowed practicing Catholics only. Hearts broke the SFA directive forbidding teams to play us and after they played us other teams did. A surprising book.

Which of course is absolutely fair enough. Hibs are open to all.

Those symbols are, however, part of Hibs history and in no way should be quietly brushed under the carpet for fear of offending people. The 150th should remember and include all of it.

Also, as Kato points out, whilst Hibs at that time may qualify as 'sectarian' on a technicality, it was a club set up for Irish catholics precisely because the rest of society at that time wouldn't have an Irish Catholic about the place! "We are catering for Scotsmen, not Irishmen".

They did however raise money for all sorts of causes, not just the ones connected with their own community and the Catholic church.

This is not me wanting the hoops back as i have enough problems down here wearing Hibs gear with people thinking its Celtic but i thought this picture looks class in colour.

Which of course is absolutely fair enough. Hibs are open to all.

I often feel there is a decent chunk of a whole generation of Hibs fans who really want to shy away from our formative years. Perhaps an unintended consequence of the drive to make the club more appealing to all in the middle decades and beyond of the 20th century? Or maybe such a desperation to avoid comparisons with Celtic (and we are nothing ****ing like Celtic) meaning it's easier to just reject it rather than embrace it as our own.

Our early history is something to be proud of. Hibs were the inspiration for multiple football clubs beyond the obvious 2 in Dundee United and Celtic. There was Glasgow Hibernian (a protest club set up in opposition to John Glass and his less than charitable vision for Celtic) Dundee Harp, Harp FC (a follow on to Dundee Harp and Lochore Harp claim lineage to this day), Erin Rovers in Perth, Paisley Hibernian.......literally dozens of Hibernians, Celtics, Shamrocks and Harps and a decent chunk of them claimed inspiration from Canon Hannan and his vision for Hibs. A lot of them fell by the wayside, as Hibs almost did, but the reason those which thrived were able to do so without 'sectarian' signing policies was in no small part because Hibs had done the hard yards. The Hibs that came back from hiatus in 1893 abandoned the need for players to be members of the CYMS so the sectarianism, such as it was, made up a tiny part of our history.

For me the Hibs story is holistic. I'm not from Leith, I was born and raised in the Hearts end of town, but I would never deny the quintessentially Leith identity of the club even if it isn't my Hibs story. Equally I'm sure fans from Leith wouldn't deny that we are far more all encompassing of Edinburgh as a whole now, we are an Edinburgh team. It's why I struggle to understand people wanting to downplay our formative years; we are the club we are today because of the club we once were. To deny it or minimize it is to downplay the work of those who fought prejudice to ensure we have a club 150 years later. It's all important, it all shapes our identity and it should all be celebrated without fear of comparisons to Celtic; we should have a real a pride in where we came from. Our current badge reflects it brilliantly for me: a team founded by Irishmen and rooted in the societal struggles they faced at the time, a team who found it's home in Leith and a team that belongs to the entirety of Edinburgh.

[Kato]

I don't know about that - according to the book, both Rangers and Celtic allowed anyone to play for them while we allowed practicing Catholics only.

Not quite right. You had to be member of the CYMS (Catholic Young Men's Society) to play for Hibs. To be a member of the CYMS you had to be a practising Catholic.

That might seem like splitting hairs but it's an indication of the clubs amateur status. There were a whole load of church and factory clubs who didn't allow outsiders to play for them. As amateurs that's perfectly fine.

Once professional the club was willing to sign anyone regardless. There were protestants who played for Hibs as guests before we turned professional.

BTW I'm not Catholic and couldn't give two hoots about religion. Still proud of Hibs origins and the way they represented their community in a very positive manner, which wasn't easy in 19th century Edinburgh where immigrants were seen with suspicion and some people thought Catholics had tails. Luckily most people have moved past all that. Not everybody, but most.

It's a wonderful book, much more than the story of a football team.

Worth keeping in mind that Hibs trailblazed and preceded Celtic by 13 years. They broke a lot of ground in that time, not least by winning the Scottish Cup.

Sure but no other clubs went down this route. The Catholic Institute where the players met was opened by the Lord Provost as a secular building. It was surprising to me. I read up on Cowgate poverty and drunkiness and setting up the team and all the nursery clubs was positive.

Yes. We were first to play Celtic as their inspiration and in 1909 played Dundee Hibernian (later Utd) wearing our hooped shirts. There was a lot I didn't know.

I think you have to consider the Cowgate area at the time.

The Protestant Institute was housed at Magdalen Chapel right at the entrance to the Cowgate, having taken ownership in the late 1850s (it's home to the Scottish Reformation Society to this day). They took on the building to engage in 'outreach' with the local Catholic community. Outreach essentially meant pressure to convert with incentives not dissimilar to the soup kitchens in Ireland. Hibs became an important focal point for the community of the Cowgate (and beyond) to retain a part of their identity. It would be an untruth to say that was the sole driver for the foundation of the club, it arguably wasn't even a major driver, but it was a factor.

Incidentally the one insult that is thrown at us in Scottish football that really gets my back up is Celtic fans using 'soup takers'. Rangers insults towards us are borne from a misplaced hatred; with Celtic fans that term is wilful and inexcusable ignorance and it's grossly offensive to the memory of our founders.

Well, I'm only repeating what the book said - not sure about members etc. At the time looking after the spiritual health of players as well as physical health was a worthy thing. The "practising Catholics" only thing has a different perspective in 2025 but didn't seem to be an issue in the day.

Yes my grandparents were part of the Carrubers Close mission, an inter-denominational protestant outreach organisation that worked in the Cowgate.

I don't understand all the insults hurled at us.

What do you know about the Hibernian swimming club? Gets a passing mention. I remember hearing Rangers first trophy was for basketball as in these days multiple sports were played.

Not a lot about the swimming club unfortunately. I believe it existed in one guise or another well into the 1970s, possibly even early 80s though.

Hibernian swimming club was based in the old Infirmary street baths, not sure of the actual dates but was active for many years (until the baths closed? 1990's?)

Thanks. The Internet confirmed that. More a community swim than a club like Warrrender apparently.

As a couple have mentioned. We weren’t ‘sectarian’. Much more exclusive than that. In the formative years they had to belong to the parish.

The founding of Hibs was viewed as a very positive thing across the entire community hence the Lord Provost laying the foundation stone for St Mary's Hall. The word "sectarian" is viewed in a negative sense in 2025. At the time, as you say, players had to be a member of the parish until the rebirth of Hibs in the 1890s.

[Ringothedog]

We didn’t wear our hooped shirt against Dundee Hibernian, that strip hadn’t existed for over 30 years. We borrowed the black and white hooped strips from Edinburgh City so as not to clash with Dundee Hibernian who were playing in green. We also didn’t play Celtic in their first game they played Rangers. We were of course the inspiration for the club that was about to be formed. I love to annoy them by stating that they were formed by Hibs supporters

In their early years Hibernian were essentially the St Pats parish football team and were one of a large number of parish recreational and also educational activities that fell under the umbrella of the St Pats branch of the Catholic Young Mens Society.

To quote the Lord Provost Willam Chambers speech on 2nd April 1869 when the St marys Street Halls foundation stone was laid it was specifically set up "for the purpose of carrying out the objects of the Catholic Young Mens Society viz the religious and social elevation of the working classes of the Catholic community" so its pretty clear that it was built as Church property for the use of that denomination. The fact that Chambers supported it's construction shows that while the Irish immigrants faced hostility from many quarters, they had the support of the Lord Provost in their quest to advance themselves.

The reason other Clubs didn't go down this route is that Hibs provided the blueprint or should that be greenprint :) for Celtic who very quickly eschewed any superficial charitable ethos for blatant commercialism and for Dundee Hibernian who formed nearly 40 years after Hibs didn't face the same hostility that our founders had faced.

Also worth pointing out that the vast majority of the populace, every newspaper and every political party supported Irish Home Rule at the time, the politicians just never got around to it.

Did Hibernian FC at the time not have quite a few players travelling through from Glasgow and the West. It made sense for them to join the new formed club called Celtic. Not sure they stole players like some Hibs fans state, reckon the players decided to play for their new local team. We were the first to wear the green though.

I would suggest you read the “ Making of Hibernian” volume 1, that will clarify what and how the club from the west treated us and how they enticed some of our players in the non professional era. They treated us very poorly in particular after everything we had done to help them set up. They were a major reason but not the only one that we had problems just after they were formed. They were also allegedly one of the clubs that voted against us being promoted when we won the second division for the first time back in 1893/94. Not the act of friendship I would have expected, they basically didn’t want us back in the top league as Hibernian still had a big support in Glasgow and the West of Scotland in fact games at parkhead the support could be about 40% of the crowd as the “old Irish” were still Hibernian

The reason they went to Celtc was illegal payments in one form or another from Celtcs owners (before professional football was legal). I don't blame the players either. I think by the their second season Celtc were fielding up to 10 ex Hibs players in some matches.

And raised the funds to create the fist Celtic Park. We played the fist ever game there, on 8th May, 1888. An exhibition match but it wasn’t against Celtic, it was a match to continue to raise funds to help get Celtic off the ground and against a side called Cowlairs apparently.
