The only club I really ever wait for the kit release outside of Hibs is Venezia. Every year they are incredible
Wish we were with LCS. Looking back they were the best Hibs shirts since the adidas ones
Look at those prices, just shows how much we are ripped off for our strips, and i'd imagine the likes of Man Utd and Arsenals will be much higher than ours.Quote:

I had the Newcastle away top from 1988 that was green and yellow stripes and loved it. Played 5s in it on a number of occasions. Sold it during lockdown for over £200, as it has gained iconic status over the years.Quote:

Nike are a mixed bag some really bad some really good. Eg the new Chelsea home one is bad IMO with a really silly collar:Quote:

I think the terrible deal we had with a 3rd party for Nike put me off going for one of the big 2. The crap Avec training gear and the jackets and sweatshirts with the badge on the wrong side was laughable. I think we'd be big enough to avoid that with Adidas now.
Celtic are in the second tier of Adidas Elite status- known as "Local Elite" - so similar to Villa and NUFC they get lifestyle collections and authentic kits and trefoil on one kit, but they are only sold on a fairly local level - unlike the elite teams (Juve, Man U, Madrid etc) whose gear is punted in Adidas shops throughout the world.Quote:

There’s a guy pretty high up at adidas who is an Aberdeen fan which I suspect is the reason they’ve had a decent deal with them/got some extrasQuote:

Spezial has nothing to do with adidas mainline or football.Quote:

Nottingham Forest and Leeds also had Spezial lines released at the same time as Aberdeen in their club shops. All three clubs wear Adidas kits. There is obviously a link there.Quote:

It's legit in the sense that if you order from there then you will get the goods and they will be decent quality.Quote:

None of them fit me anymore, but I do like getting them out every so often. Will be fitting my sons soon.

I'm sure a Hibs Adidas kit would outsell any other brand over the last few years, as long as it was not an ugly design. It would be a massive seller.
Going back a bit now but I'm sure when we went with Adidas, Alex Miller was our manager. I'm positive I read a story that he knew a marketing guy who worked with Adidas and we subsequently changed from Umbro to Adidas. When Miller was with St Mirren prior to joining us their kits were Adidas.
I have read some supporters say on here that there can be a bit of brand snobbery at times. I get that, but seeing Hibs running out with a quality Adidas kit as we did in the 80's & 90's was great. I had the home and away Adidas kits and they were brilliant.
There is a bit of brand snobbery at times. However, I very much doubt you would see the likes of Barcelona, Real Madrid, PSG or Liverpool running out with a Joma or Bukta kit.
I would like to think we are still big enough to have a quality, high end Adidas or Nike kit.
I had the home version of that in a small about 15 years ago before retro tops were as ‘cool’ as they are now. Was too small for me so sold it for about £70 and thought I’d got a great price for it!Quote:

Any hope of a kit being out before the end of June? Hoping to get tops for me and the kids and Mrs Jones can feel left out.
They should always be out 2 weeks before the kids break up from school,Quote:

I still have my 91-92 home kit which was my first as a child, no idea what it's worth but I can't ever see myself selling it.Quote:

Ditto. My laddie wore the Skol Cup strip to the last game and I’ve passed all my old ones on to him. They’ll never be sold.Quote:

Have Kilmarnock changed their badge? The one on the home kit looks different. Harder to see the away but it looks more like what I recognise as a Killie badge.Quote:

Why bring back a crest from 1906 now? There doesn’t seem to be any real significance date-wise relating to landmark anniversaries. Or maybe a 120th anniversary is the real deal down Ayrshire way.Quote:
