    Mightn't it backfire commerically, being a local taxi firm? They have immediately lost the custom of the maroon half of Edinburgh.
    They also sponsor the maroon half of Edinburgh...

    It’s a pair a ****ing shorts, unless your planning to wear a pair what’s the problem?
    100% mate. Grown adults getting upset about a logo on a pair of shorts. This place never fails.

    Everything at Hibs just now is a farce, announcing this after making a big deal about the community foundation sponsor being a choice. This looks cheap and nasty.
    A farce?

    Ffs who buys a pair of football shorts anyway? Naebodies forcing them on you. It’s extra revenue for the club, if it means a signing or two who gives a ****?

    I find it unlikely we declined any sponsorship from gambling companies based on moral grounds, we’re happy to compete in the Ladbrokes Premiership and take the sponsorship cash that provides us.
    I’m not sure there was another option.
    Getting relegated would be a bit extreme.

    Tacky as hell and something I'd expect from Hamilton.

    Still it may allow us to compete in the transfer window with Kiddiemister for an Exeter reserve striker or something

    Don't mind them at all but there's not a chance in hell that the money received would pay for or a player or two!

    It will be worth a few grand to us over the year, similar to a pitch side advertising board.

    Hardly the same though is it? Whats our alternative - refuse to play in the league and resign?

    As others have said, I think that's entirely incomparable. Hibs get to decide their own sponsorships and affiliations, not the league's.

    Hibs are the league, along with the other 11 clubs. The SPFL is us, the clubs.

    Yes, but we still don't choose the commercial sponsor, which is what we're talking about.

    It looks crap, but brings in more money. Think that’s about the long and short(s) of it.

    I think it looks alright. Still not sure why we’ve not got a proper shirt sponsor though, if the budget is truly used then I feel like it may have helped and we could have put Hibernian Community Foundation on the arms, if allowed?

    Still this is positive news, more money and for a fairly unintrusive sponsor.

    Does it look great? No
    Do I care that it doesn’t look great? No

    Find it interesting that we decide to not have a shirt sponsor, then a couple of months later opt for a big sponsor on our shorts?

    Positive news. However, does this mean we couldn't get shirt sponsor? kind of blows that out of the water IMO

    And this, ladies and gentlemen, is the whole discussion summed up perfectly.

    There is a certain ‘want’ about adults that choose to wear football replica kits.

    And, before I get accused of generalising, I’m not. Overweight adults, in particular, should be nowhere near a football strip.

    I think it’s more to do with the actual team wearing the shorts than people being personally pissed off because they are going to buy them. Not that I give a **** either way, it’s money coming in for very little.

    Genuinely don’t understand why some folk have an issue with this.

    Even if you buy the shorts, I don’t believe they’ll have the sponsor on them. It’s a slogan. On a pair of football shorts. Get a grip 😂

    I've had a day at work with a whole lot of them slagging me off about this.

    You know what, I couldn't give a monkeys what that lot say. This is just another first in the Scottish game for HFC

    First domestic game under floodlights, first British team to play in Europe. Now we're the first Scottish team with a short sponsor. Shows creativity in my mind and another source of income isn't to be sniffed at. In future years we'll be able to attract higher profile partners, paying significant wedges to advertise their services and products to 20000 people every fortnight, and a TV audience too

    I can handle the snidey and ill informed comments from others but to read such negativity from our own, is hard to take

    Where is all this negativity coming from? We're two games in to the season with all to play for.

    Have we all forgotten Persevere or was that just a timely soundbite?
