Clubstore - Retro shirts

***Carheenlea*** · 27-03-2019 08:55 AM

I saw the clubstore are selling “replicas” of the 06/07 and 89/91 shirts.
The White & Mackay one is probably the better of the two, but they don’t look right without the manufacturer branding. Interesting to see how they are received.

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.

Nice one. Will get the 89-91 one for my hols.

Agree though, the right breast looks bare, would've been bettered with something to fill the void, even the harp or castle from the badge in place of the original manufactures logo.

**Smartie** · 27-03-2019 10:41 AM

That 89-91 top would make a cracking home top with our new badge.

***worcesterhibby*** · 27-03-2019 10:41 AM

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".

The 06/07 one is missing ‘since 1875’ at the neck on the back I think. I’ve got that one in my mums attic but I’ll be getting the 89/91 for my holidays.

I’s love us to have a retro looking kit next season. Wish we were with Umbro for that reason

**~~My_Wife_Camille~~** · 27-03-2019 11:26 AM

Both look garbage imo. Look very much like the cheap imitations that they are.

***Kojock*** · 27-03-2019 11:37 AM

The badge on the 89/91 shirt hold too many bad memories for me.

**Pretty Boy** · 27-03-2019 11:40 AM

Absolute shockers.

10/10 for the idea
2/10 for execution.

I have the 50s and 70s retro tops produced by copa and they are the best quality retro shirts I’ve ever owned. Top quality material and fit...think these tops will look better in the flesh.

Yep. The 70s shirt is excellent quality

Agreed. Both horrendous

Can't see many people buying these.

An updated version of the 85-87 umbro kit with the white band across the middle is long overdue. New badge, new sponsor, everything else the same.

**Sir David Gray** · 27-03-2019 01:11 PM

I bought the 50s and 70s ones a few months ago but I think these ones work due to the lack of advertising that were on these tops and so the lack of advertising on these redesigned tops isn't noticeable.

I think the 89-91 top doesn't really work due to the fact that sponsorship has been removed.

I don't think i'll be buying it.

**~~calumhibee1~~** · 27-03-2019 01:22 PM

They are murder imo.

Yes, they don't look right minus the branding. The 72-74 shirt is great.

**0762** · 27-03-2019 02:12 PM

Very poor attempt at something that could/should have been done better.

The '91 shirt they did a couple of years ago was much better quality than this attempt.

It's a crap badge and I'm glad we've changed it but it holds nothing but good memories for me. It was our badge when I first got into football and I like all of our badges. They're part of our history, the same way that the bad players are part of it along with the good ones.

I would argue it shouldn't have been done at all. One of the main reasons some of the old strips are so coveted is due to how rare they are.

Bringing out a mass produced poor imitation seems pointless to me.

***Hermit Crab*** · 27-03-2019 03:44 PM

They're all howling, trying to make quick buck. Its a shame as it could have been popular if more thought and professionalism had went into it. The look really poor. Imo of course.

**~~Here’s Lucy!~~** · 27-03-2019 04:07 PM

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!!

Wearing football tops on holiday should be banned anyway unless you're a kid!

I actually put in public/on holiday in my post!

Meaning either or.

You're dead right though, only kids should wear football tops. Full stop!

Pretty cool tbf.

**hibs#1** · 27-03-2019 06:21 PM

I've still got the 06/07 shirt, still wear it occasionally to games. Does this make me old now I've got an original shirt that's now retro? The other one is getting bought personally think it's cool as.
