Hopefully someone can tell me
Thanks

Prime example of what's wrong with this place. No need for your smart comments.

I care because I feel this place has turned into somewhere that cheap throw away insults have become quite normal. The reply offered nothing other than a dig at the OP, imo. It feels that people have nothing to say but are happy to slag off others. Originally Posted by Peevemor

The original question is a valid one. The font is different from that used by the NHS, maybe some people don't care, but that doesn't mean people should be afraid to ask perfectly sensible questions.
I don't like it and it feels a bit like bullying at times.
That all said, I don't direct that at any one individual.Last edited by beensaidbefore; 23-06-2020 at 12:36 PM. Reason: Typo

There was a lengthy discussion about this when the announcement was originally made. It didn’t seem to me like the OP had looked very far to try and solve his problem. You really don’t have to be called Sherlock to get the answer. It was done to death at the time and I really don’t know why some folk were getting pretty worked up about it.

23-06-2020 03:20 PM #8Wasn’t a smart comment. Genuinely wondered what he was on about. Wondering about fonts seems a bit errrrrm, niche. Originally Posted by beensaidbefore

The OP doesn’t need to or deserve to be treated with suspicion. He’s definitely a Hibs supporter. His posting rate on hibs.net is neither here nor there. Originally Posted by Peevemor

I’ve been on here for almost 20 years and have thousands of posts and I haven’t got a clue what the OP asked that was ‘wrong’ or what the whole ‘different font’ business is (not that I care either tbf).
Incidentally, the OP has 100 odd posts, not 40.Last edited by Beefster; 23-06-2020 at 05:42 PM.

Is the Thistle top a strip though? I thought it was just a t shirt they released. Originally Posted by Fuzzywuzzy

The font isn't the issue.
NHS Scotland have a stylised thistle leaf thing which, together with the letters, makes up a logo. NHS England uses similar lettering but in white italics against a blue background. This is their logo.
Hibs aren't sponsored by either. Nor do we sponsor them.
Our shirt sponsorship is a community minded initiative, paid for by a benefactor, as a means to thank the NHS.
There's more to it than that (fund raising, guests, etc.), but it's really an unofficial thing that hopefully will do some good.

This has been discussed. There was chat about NHS Scotland v NHS UK. Its simple, its not a sponsorship, its purely a message from Hibs thanking the NHS.

The design was agreed with NHS Lothian as far as I can remember. And it reflects the support of the the NHS across all 4 nations.

Just putting out there...
Why haven't we gone for the NHS badge on the shirt like the English Premier teams and tried to find a normal shirt sponsor?

You'd need to ask Hibs that one.
I think Leeann Dempster's e-mail address was posted on here recently.

Has Mr Lobo even viewed this thread again, or was it just a 'drop a controversial comment and run' type post?
I think it was done to death at the time Hibs announced it, with some people getting worked up about trivial stuff.

Would we have sold as many with a normal sponsor? Would our brand have received so many good news stories UK wide with a normal sponsor? Have we really lost out on that much by not having one? I’d suggest most of those answers are no and that’s the reason we have done it our own way. Originally Posted by sambajustice
