ThTs the one, yes. Had the scarf and matching tie. Got lost along the way sadly but still hark back to those days. Cardboard rosettes too 🤗Quote:

I'm not buying it if it doesn't have some reference to the Easter Road seagulls :cb
I’m disappointed if they’re white. It doesn’t look like a proper Hibs kit to me if it’s not green socks. And yes, I know, 2016 etcQuote:

It's good to see the change in mindset under Ron Gordon. There seems to be a more aggressive/ambitious culture at board room level.Quote:

Greg McEwan is certainly impressing in his interim role as CEO. With a background in marketing/comms he may lack the strategic management experience to be the CEO but I wonder if that is so important now we have an owner keen to be involved in driving the strategy of the club.Quote:

Shamrock has no place whatsoever on our tops! My opinion mind!

Almost brought me to tears. That’s the very scarf and matching tie I had in 1966/67. I so wish I had taken greater care of them. Thanks for the memories.. Thistle and all 😢Quote:

More than happy to reunite you with it for a bit if you’d like mate :thumbsup:Quote:

Ive been after a bit of background information regarding the scarf for years. Who made them, if they were popular at the time, where they’d have been sold etc so anything you can help me out with will be very much appreciated! 🇳🇬
From a distance I think it looks good (the collar is excellent) although an aesthetic point of view I've never liked designs woven into a strip. I'd prefer it just to be plain green. However, I get the need for marketing gimmicks and this launch has been impressively handled. I think it will sell really well.
Too many emotional beers for me last night. Must be out of practice 🤣 it’s a long time since a scarf that size would fit me but will always have great memories arriving at ER from the age of 7 in 1966. Bus in from Dalkeith with my brother and older cousin and that walk from the bus station to the ground always seemed longer on the way. The programme sellers that dotted the route from the corner of London Road/Easter Road and the same guy on the post at the end of Crawford Bridge. Then the scarves and rosettes being sold outside. My rosette had to be renewed every time we went despite my best efforts to keep them safe as part of the bedroom wall display. And the ever increasing density of pipe and cigarette smoke the closer you got to the turnstiles.Quote:

Enjoying the game and checking off the half time scores on the programme.
After the game the walk back to the bus station took just long enough for the Pink News to arrive at the kiosk and the excitement big checking out the report and especially the pictures of the match. Then that endless bus journey on the smoke filled bus back to Dalkeith. All that for less than a pound.
The scarves like yours were readily available in sports shops and with the sellers outside the games. No idea who made them but because the tie also had the same design and badge I’m thinking there must have been some endorsement from the club.
Thanks for the memories and maybe I need to spend less time on the strong ales at Stewarts Brewery on a Friday night. 🤣
I dont think so, it would look slick.Quote:

Aye hasn’t worried me mate and I’m new to this board but come across it before and it’s more infuriating than worrying. Don’t see the big fuss about it tbh and I think the club overall, as well as the vast majority of the support, seem to have a common sense approach and appreciation of what we are, a Scottish club with Irish roots. Yet there are always the odd ones who have to make a big deal about it for reasons only known to them 🤷*♂️Quote:

From one quote on the release date they said it was a good fit and felt like a football top so I assumed it was back to normal sizes.Quote:

It wouldn't surprise me if additional sponsors are added over the next couple of months.Quote:

Seems that payments in the club store online now go to a Provan Sports Limited. A look on Companies House doesn’t really ring any bells in terms of the directors. Anyone know anything about this?Quote:

ABOUT US
- Hibernian Direct are the official retailer to Hibernian FC supplying replica kits and merchandise. Replica and trainingwear are provided by Spanish-based sports clothing manufacturer Joma with added Training and Leisurewear supplied by Hibernian Direct.
Looks like Hibernian Direct is set up as it's own separate entity which is run by Provan Sports on behalf of the club.
To be honest I've no idea how it works - what rights differents sponsors have in respect of replica strips, etc. But in the past different sponsorships have been announced at different times and IIRC the Beep Beep shorts deal was announced during the season.Quote:

Thats stunning. Love it.
It’s quite a nice looking shirt but got a bit of a “bottom six” look about it. Not blown away on the pinstripes.
Home kit is a comfortable top four though.
Gorgeous. I’ve always like kits with a pin stripe.
That's tidy, I wonder why the home kit goes to 4xl and the away 3xl.
i’m not sure if i like the pinstripes or not but i wanted a white away kit so can’t complain :greengrin
overall another cracking effort. love the green used for the shorts.
Like it :aok:
An absolute cracker.
I love that, looks brilliant - very retro but also very new for Hibs.
First away strip in a while I've really liked.
That well known bottle green Dunfermline home topQuote:

Expected to come on here for a fight as I wasn’t sure it would be everyone’s cup of tea but delighted to see it’s going down well.
Well played Joma. My expectations were low but I’m delighted with what they’ve done.
Wrong. It’s a Celtic away top according to some zoomers on Facebook 😂Quote:
