Just woke up new kit looks class.
Ive never seen a Hibs top with a thistle on it, but if you associate that with Hibs, then thats your call 👍
Didnt think this would be as thorny a subject, but obviously loads of people have for years seen a thistle motif and thought, yeah, thats Hibs, thats a Hibs thistle, the Edinburgh Jags. Im obviously the odd one out.
Anyway, loads of people like the strip, so job done.
A little bit from the EN reporter also. For those who maybe interested
🧐 Seen a few Hibs fans wondering about the relevance of the thistle on the new home top. Not 100% sure but it could be a nod to a logo the club used in the 50s & 60s (particularly for Euro games); possibly in an effort to embrace a Scottish identity as well as their Irish roots? https://t.co/W0Z9EMUNXm

Beautiful strip. Great job all involved in it. :aok:
Ive not liked a new strip for years now and this one is no different.
It's a nah from me.
We're called Hibernian and have a green strip and badge with a Harp. That's enough Irish for me as a Scotsman, living in Scotland and supporting a Scottish football club.
The thistle is a nice touch, especially as we fly the Scottish flag in Europe this season.
Nice touch by the club to reveal the new strip on what would have been Prince Phillip’s 100th birthday.
Bizarre we’ve not actually seen a picture of the full kit as of yet?
My laddie loves it, he says it's Lit which is apparently really good, he also loves how the map of Edinburgh is on it, another to add to his collection
He said it was never official, and ive never seen a pic with it on the strip, but im happy to be corrected if there was one.
Plus, if people are having to try this hard to demonstrate a supposed link, then i would suggest that link is flimsy.
Anyway, im clearly in the minority, so happy to accept that, and obviously hope its a big seller for Hibs 👍
I like it a lot. As for the thistle I think we on here are putting more thought into it than those who designed the shirt - probably just an obligation maybe to stick something on the back rather than a statement of sorts.
Expect this will be a very popular strip and should sell well.
