Just went along to the club store from Armadale (a near 50 mile round trip) to buy my home and away shirt using my 2 for 1 voucher only to discover the away shirt in size XL is sold out. There is plenty in stock of the home shirt but none available for the away shirt. 4 weeks before the new season and already Hibs are potentially losing out on much needed revenue really isn't the best plan of action right now.
Has anyone else had the same problem? I am a tad worried now despite the deadline being extended until July 20th as I can't afford any time off work and another 50 mile trip will cost!

If you were going to be travelling 50 miles, then you should have got in touch with the club first to make sure that they had any left in stock and they would have reserved one for you if they had any left.
The tops have been selling like hotcakes.

I'd hardly say I was a big chap but thanks to Puma's erratic sizes since my error of 2 seasons ago I've had to size up to an XL! Strangely though my Newcastle shirt also made by Puma I get away with a size L. Originally Posted by matty_f

Have to say though, both shirts look much better in the flesh. A big hats off the club and Puma for 2 very classy and distinctive kits.

I was in about 20 minutes ago and there was only small and medium out in the mens away. One of the staff asked what size we were lookig for and went out back to look. He came back with an armfull of large and an unopened box. Reckon they've had an unexpected delivery that they've not had a chance to put out yet.

Yep 'Puma's erratic sizes'. Found the same with my trousers and shirts for work. Funnily after a diet of beer, pizza and crisps. Originally Posted by sbell1875

I totally sympathise. I went all the way there from work a few weeks back, humphing ma kit bag from Waverley and the store opening times had all changed. So got all hot and bothered for nothing. A few days later on my day off work I did the 160 mile round trip (starting to sound like the 'Four Yorkshiremen' sketch) and got my away top. I'm typing this at Paisley some weeks after that, hoping they still have XL home tops in stock otherwise it'll be 160 miles for nothing. To be fair it must be a harder than usual job keeping the right level of stock in the store this summer with no-one knowing what's happening in the bigger picture and people threatening to walk out on Scottish football etc. I reckon Rodders has the shop tills connected to his home PC spreadshseet so he can keep an eye on how stuff is selling :)

I went down last weekend and there was plenty sizes of both tops avaiable. Despite it being quite busy they were very efficient(and seemed mostly australian
) too.
Mon the Hibs.

Yeah same happened to me on Tuesday. As usual they had no idea when the stock would arrive. I just bought an XXL and will keep phoning to see when the XLs arrive and get it swapped. Originally Posted by sbell1875

I may have walked past you then! I spoke to the boy that does the shirt printing and he said they've been selling really well and that another shipment has been ordered but they don't know the delivery date yet. Originally Posted by Twiglet

A wee check on the online shop and it says no XL available in the away so at least that appears to be updated regularly. I'm going to keep my eye on that and as soon as I see it is available try and take a sneaky half day from work and head back through!

Thats a bit rough , get one of Colin Steins. We gave the lovely people ( Armadale thistle) a set of strips as part of a transfer deal. They Sent them back because they were green. Dont think Joe Bakers deal was like that.

On ma way home complete wi XL home top. I needed an XL away one so decided just to get the same size for the home. There seemed to be a big push on to make folk get their shirts personalised but with only a handful of signings I couldn't think of what to get put on it, plus DUNGCASTERISACORRUPTW**K wouldn't fit across in one line
One thing I would say is the home top is a fair bit darker than I thought, despite seeing it on the club website. It will go well with my new Sect 43 scarf ;)

Green is very rarely seen in these parts! It was a pleasure wearing my Hibs shirt to school when I was younger as everyone was an old firm supporter! Originally Posted by Hibiza

Forgive my ignorance here but did you get both home and away in XL? Originally Posted by Lungo--Drom

Reluctantly looked at this thread with it's god-awful title and another opportunity at battering **** out of the shop / staff / Puma kits / Australians. Am I alone though, in being surprised that there is a card-carrying Hibby in Armadale? Good luck hitting the streets when you get your shirt sorted. Then again, maybe the locals will now see Armadale Thistle as a bit closer in the pyramid and forget all about us.....

The title of the thread was written within 5 minutes of walking out the shop shirt-less and agitated! I happen to like the shop and have never had any issues with it in any way. My frustration is the fact I could have provided £50+ to my club at a time it would have been really welcomed but I wasn't able to at this time. Originally Posted by Hamilton Handling

Armadale born and bred I am. Mother is from Bathgate and father from Whitburn. Dad, me and my sister are all Hibees and have had numerous season tickets. I'm hoping my next few generations are proud Hibs fans as well.
