I'd be gutted by this. I want us to have zero association with anything Celtic. Original for us or not the vast majority of other fans will just see a Celtic connection.
I had a bad feeling our Anniversary Strip was going to be one of the last things Kensall had anything to do with... he had nae style and was a total get the badge in gadge.
If it's true (and let's wait and see), it would be poor.Quote:

Could look an awful mess if WTC is correct.

Looks like a kit for a Ranger Hertz select sideQuote:

I’m not massively for the hoops, but if it’s smart enough and resembles one of our first kits I still think it will self
Key will be thickness of hoops and the colour
Hoops are very unforgiving to us non athletic types so hopefully Hibs will not go for themQuote:

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

Joma is another big problem.
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.
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.
1973/2000 home tops are the best we’ve had. Hopefully something like those.Quote:

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.Quote:

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.
Port Vale 150th anniversary kit is a cracker.
Would love something like this.

While we had hoops before Celtic, they weren't part of our strip 150 years ago so why would we have them. Doesn't make sense.
Hmm that would be bad, agreed.Quote:

I'm with Olivia on this one. I'm hooplessly devoted to Hibs.
I hoop you're proud of that.Quote:

Like this kit for Denmark by HummelQuote:
