    I like them. I wasn't even born in 91 so I don't have any memories of that strip. Maybe I like it because I'm not used to seeing or remembering the old one

    I have both original versions of these shirts but still like these two versions, like I said before the copa stuff is top quality material...they make retro tops for all the top European teams.

    Does anyone else think that replica shirts are really for youngsters?

    Fair enough, adults 'collecting' them for posterity reasons I get, but surely not actually wearing them?

    My wife would kill me if I wore a football shirt in public/on holiday!!

    Only time I wear a hibs top is when we are in a final/at 5's.

    Wearing football tops on holiday should be banned anyway unless you're a kid!
    Agreed. Nothing looks more ridiculous than a grown man squeezed into a shiny fitba top.

    For the record, the 89 shirt was the brilliant Adidas Frank Graham top.

    And you're right, they are always 'squeezed' into them and their head is invariably shiny too!!

    Nope. They are great for hols, easy washed and dried and no ironing. I like a football strip

    I liked the long sleeved retro tops but didnt think id suit it.

    I'll need to see it in the shop to check fit but I'm really happy the 06/07 is available. I was a big fan of that kit but mine is too big now (first world problems I know) so would be good to get a new one.

    Kind of pointless without the kit manufacture on them really.

    I think there was a better attempt at the 91 shirt a few years back – the material had the right pattern and the only real difference was the lack of adidas badge/two stripes instead of three.

    If people like them and they sell then great, I have the original of both anyway.
    You’re thinking of the 91/92 shirt. This new one is 90/91.

    There never used to much grumbling about adult fans wearing replica shirts in the past, but I think the reason why so many do nowadays is the “athletic fit” preferred in modern day sportswear. We could all fit into one of the old Carlsberg shirts without a lot of trouble, but too much Carlsberg drinking and anything less than an athletes physique makes football shirt wearing more problematic for the average adult in 2019.

    Ah, right enough. It's a poor attempt at that top as well.

    The 'athletic fit' has actually come in handy some ways, as the 2016/17 home shirt was a particularly snug fit when I bought it so it ended up being a weight loss goal to make sure I fit in to it!

    There is a definite element of fashion snobbery when it comes down to fans looking down on adults wearing a football shirt.

    I was just through picking up tickets and was having a look at the retro tops in the shop, re size, I would normally buy medium, but looking at both the round collar and open collar shirts, I would have bought the small in both,
    I just thought the material was a bit thin and the 'actual round collar' was massive even for medium or small, so didn't buy one...... Some people are never pleased

    i float between M and L(but more on the L ), M was just too tight, L is fine, and they come in a nice copa box :)


    i love the cotton as quite often the material on tops nowadays gives me a right fair belt of static when i take them off

    £40 for a poor copy, can’t see it myself.

    I’ve always thought that hibs should market their iconic colours with simple cotton t shirts in green and white sleeves - kick them out at £20 or £30 for heavy duty cotton for people who shouldn’t be seen in a replica top, or don’t want to wear one.

    No branding or marking required - how many teams in the world are instantly recognisable like us? Barcelona? Ajax?

    I agree that they are too thin which makes them £40 t shirts

    Maybe slightly, but if you are northwards of 18 years old, fat and baldy, it's a horrendous look.

    Wearing the full 'kit' is even worse.

    'nice I like them. I picked up a Nike training shirt a few years ago that looked just like a Hibs top and got the wife to sew on a 1970's Hibs crest, it looks cool and has confused a lot of people who say..."hang on we never had a Nike shirt in the 1970's".'
    Nice, could you show? I'd like to see this!

    I tried to buy the 1990 one a while back and it’s completely sold out.

    so some people must like them. To me that shirt is iconic because it brings back memories of Hands Off Hibs and triumphing over the ftb. Doesn’t really bother me that the sponsor isn’t on the front. I prefer football shirts not tainted by corporate garbage, and yes I’m fully aware of Hibs ‘pioneering’ efforts in that area.
