What colour do we wear at Hampden

[Billy Whizz]

As Aberdeen were drawn out the hat as the home team they I presume will be wearing red.
Will we be able to wear green or will we have to wear black?

[SteveHFC]

We should be able to wear the Green

[monktonharp]

black is the colour..................of my true loves eyes/dress/nickers. It's got to be Green! why the hell not?

[Northernhibee]

We wear green and white, we go to Hampden and we tear them limb from limb to set up a final. Against who I don't care, for the first time in years I get the feeling that anything is possible.

[matty_f]

I hope we wear green if for no other reason than, along with Aberdeen's red, it'll give those watching on tv the 3D effect without needing a fancy telly.

[Septimus]

I recall a poem about the Coronation Cup which ended iirc "all Hampden was covered with banners of green"

We play in green.

[Jones28]

Green! No colour clash

Unless this about making a statement In which case it should be purple

[Billy Whizz]

My mistake, as we usually change colour at Pittodrie, I thought this was because of a colour clash rather than a marketing initiative on our 2nd strip.
Both team wore their traditional colours at ER a few weeks ago.
Only question, green or white shorts

that's from the 'said lizzie to philip' coronation cup final song, to the tune of the present day 'hearts song'




Beat the Hibs in the final and lo and behold,
All Hampden was covered in green, white and gold.

Sorry, I found your original question a bit silly since red and green dont clash.

Anyway, white shorts. That's the way it should always be.

[bawheid]

It's quite common for Aberdeen or Hibs to wear their away strip when the clubs play. This is neccessary when any of players from either of the sides or the match officials suffer from red/green colour blindness.

Apologies for being pedant, but I believe red and green provide quite a clash for those who are colour blind.

P.s. Just saw bawheids message. Just shut me up.

...don't red and green clash? as in the normal use of the term, namely that they contrast heavily?

not wanting to be pedantic...

[LancsHibs]

We are Hibs. We are green & white

[cabbageandribs1875]

"Red and green should never be seen except upon an Irish queen "

or

"red and green should never be seen, unless there's something in between"

the referee wears black, should be ok

Surely Monkton you mean Black is the Colour of my true loves HAIR? The one that auld Christy stole from Hamish Imlach!!

[Keith_M]

We wear green.


If the referee is colour blind, get another one.

If any supporters are colour blind, make sure you don't go in the wrong end.

If anyone's watching in black and white, get a new telly.

[FastEddieFelson]

we should be wearing green. aberdeen wear red when they come to easter road, there's no reason why we'd have to play in black.

Thanks for that Cabbage.

Refs and rugby players play in black. Not footballers and definitely not Hibs!!

I like the version by the Easy Club!!

We should wear green, with white shorts.

Out of respect for Aberdeen when we bury them.

Well yes, in the fashion stakes it is a bit of a heavy contrast. Could make quite a spiffing Haribo style golf outfit, however.:pfgwa

Is that the one that also includes the line "and down at the Palace they made it a law, that if you beat Rangers it's only a draw"
