new strip (merged)

**Gez1875** · 24-05-2012 11:30 AM

was in at the club store yesterday and the boy behind the counter said they where getting a box of the new strips at the end of this week and they should be released probably the end of this week too.....sorry if this is old news.

***blackpoolhibs*** · 24-05-2012 11:34 AM

I think one box might just be enough at the moment?

**Gez1875** · 24-05-2012 11:37 AM

when i say released i dont mean for sale, just unveiled.

i know its depressing, but fortunately for the club, i have put that much weight on i'll have to buy 2 and sew them together, hahahahaha!

**green glory** · 24-05-2012 11:56 AM

Will look forward to that. I know the photo shoot was done a couple of weeks ago, James McPake was certainly impressed. A nice darkish emerald green please.

It'll be interesting to see which players they use for the unveiling?

Will their be a picture of this box with the tagline............

"now that's what I call a new strip unveiling"

***cocopops1875*** · 24-05-2012 12:23 PM

Club shop closed today I noticed dunno if this is the norm on a. Thursday/week after getting pumped/day before an unveiling

**~~Speedway~~** · 24-05-2012 12:25 PM

It'll be interesting if McPake's modelling it.

Who is in charge at Ashburton Grove, Arsene or R. Swipe? Look at this:

That's poor by any measure.

I also notice that both cheeks of the OF have gone very retro for next season. I REALLY hope we've done the same.

That's almost as bad as Man Utds spiderman effort.

Nike seem to have lost the plot because both Barca efforts are honking as well.

Better if they unveiled a new team first, then they might sell some.

**down-the-slope** · 24-05-2012 04:54 PM

i passed shop today at 11.30am...and it was all shuttered up...thought that was very odd...

EDIT: see coco beat me to it...after reading thread I too wondered if it was a shop re-stocking / new strip launch...

before i had though that after cup final when it was selling loads - its maybe a bit like the old russian shops...only US v them Tee shirts today.......

**down-the-slope** · 24-05-2012 05:47 PM

heres the answer - pretty short notice

http://www.hibernianfc.co.uk/news/20120522/clubstore-announcement_2262950_2785538

shop hours only 12pm-3pm for summer weekdays and 10am-5pm Saturdays.

not the best hours...and strikes me that the tourist trade which seemed to be building will reduce as its a bit of a small window and surely you would expect 'nomal' shop hours

I'd be surprised if ER saw much passing trade from tourists.

Correct.

Also, Rod sells gear out a suitcase on Rose Street during the height of the tourism season.

That was what i was getting at but i should've made myself clearer. Someone else said the photoshoot had already been done though.
You would hope the strip unveiling would be the perfect chance to also announce at least 1 new signing?

**stanton_4** · 24-05-2012 10:07 PM

Thoughts?

**~~Sumner~~** · 24-05-2012 10:13 PM

Anything is better than that 2 shades of green strip we have now, awful design. Get back to the classic green body, white collar, white sleeves. Find designer of the mess Hibs wore this last season and kick his @rse

***Macaroon*** · 24-05-2012 10:17 PM

My heart is still set on the hibs kit that did the rounds on here and facebook a while back. And, promisingly, this Well kit looks to be a very very similar.

Ah well, one can hope.

**JohnStephens91** · 24-05-2012 10:18 PM

I like the fan involvement adapted into it and the history behind the kit. I couldn't see Hibs wearing something with a green variat though, for me it has to be green and white, needs to have white sleeves. I think the away kit should be an exact reversal, so mainly white with green sleeves.

For 2015 (140th anniversary) I'd like to a 3rd choice kit that was the original design of green and white hoops.

***Hibernia&Alba*** · 24-05-2012 10:20 PM

£270 for an adult ST and to finish third! If only!

**MyJo** · 24-05-2012 10:22 PM

I just hope that they have an only white band across the chest and not different shades of green

**calamitus** · 24-05-2012 10:31 PM

not a fan of the white band across the chest idea - basically just an advertising billboard - didn't like it first time round either.

My favourite from recent years was the 2000 ish kit with the simple white crew collar, but I have to admit, I'd like a change to bottle green too this year

Couldn't agree more

**Gez1875** · 24-05-2012 10:44 PM

i know a lot of people will think this is a gash idea, but...... i think that we should have a scottish cup strip every year and it should be a bottle green top (no white sleeves), white shorts and bottle green socks, it was the strip we wore the last time we one the cup. nobody else has a strip solely for the national cup and with the romance and heartache surrounding the cup for hibs i think it would be a nice idea! we've never won the strip with the white sleeves. i'm actually surprised that petrie hasnt thought of it, its another product to sell!
home strip: green body white sleeves, white shorts, green and white socks.
away strip: purple and green
scottish cup strip: bottle green top, white shorts, bottle green socks.
this would do away with the 2nd away strip we bring out that i always find pointless.
