They obviously wanted to reveal the sponsor now to give them 5 minutes in the spotlight, on their own, before the impending kit release.
The fact it was a couple of hours before the early bird deadline is neither here nor there IMO. Even the most optimistic among us wouldn't expect a sponsorship announcement to boost ST sales.

I hope they were trying to get as much interest as possible. That’s kind of why they are there.
A tweet saying it’s a good news day is in poor taste?
Think some of you are losing the plot here.

Tweet about the sponsor. Fine, I think we can agree it would have been recieved, at large, as being positive. The "news at 2pm" was in poor taste on early bird renewal deadline day, in my opinion. It got hopes up. As I said, it's probably marketing 101 but marketing during covid is even closer to that fine line between good and bad. People are still concerned about jobs and money.
First tweet was fishing for interest. They got good and bad nibbles and I think they knew that would happen. What I can't fully understand is why other people don't get that. People are different.
I renewed my ST after the tweet. It didn't bother me so much as not to support Hibs, if I could. However, I'm aware life isn't monochrome and people may have had an awful Friday, that tweet gave them a glimmer of hope and it was ultimately a huge disappointment.

It seems as though some people have gone down the rabbit hole with this one and lost touch with reality. It's like people can't make a point without indulging in hysteria and hyperbole.

I am fairly confident Hibs knew this would have this mixed reaction. I have no issue with tweet revealing the sponsor. The teaser tweet I do have some slight issue with though. Merely because, whether you think them stupid, a lesser being, or otherwise, there are Hibs fans that would have thought the 2pm announcement would be a signing. That could be a huge disappointment for them dependent on their own situation, during covid, having a bad week, bad Friday or otherwise. Ffs we all type nonsense on here and get into silly arguments because we care about Hibs. Hibs are an escape for people, probably more than ever due to covid.
Covid is still here, we are entering another wave and we may not be back at ER again. What we see on our screens is virtually all we know of Hibs now. What club tweet on early bird deadline day is more significant than normal due to this, in my opinion.
I renewed anyway, I'm just saying I thought teaser tweet was poor taste.

The sheer entitlement of some of the bellends in our support is a sad indictment of today's society.
Club announces "good news coming soon" then "we've a new main sponsor, much needed income. Kerching!"
Twatterers "Waahh,waahh, boohoo 👶👶👶 that's NOT the news we guessed - we demand sackings, we DESERVE better"
Grow up you ******* *********

Judging the 11 page thread on here I would suggest that the guy tasked with getting people talking about Hibs has done a fine job......no such thing as bad publicity🤷🏼

I think the point some folk are tying to make is that there shouldn't have been a need for anyone to jump to any conclusions. Just tweet that Utilita are our new sponsors, no need for any preamble. Utilita still get the exposure to the 90 odd thousand followers on Hibs Twitter so jobs a good'un

I’m getting the sense that the theme at the moment is nothing Hibs do smells. Not even a whiff of anything non-fragrant. Fine. If people are not being abusive though, it would be nice if some weren’t seen as some sort of attacker against Hibs. A rotten apple. A wrong ‘un. A simpleton. A wholly negative person who should seek help and not plague a fans forum with their opinion.
If I think something is in poor taste it doesn’t mean I blame anybody. I can think something was a mistake without seeking blood. Based on your response, it looks like you thought I blamed someone, blamed Hibs. I didn’t, think you’ve jumped to a wrong conclusion there.

Mental thread.
I also need to look up the definition of poor taste because clearly I dont understand what it means if a football club announcing a new main shirt sponsor and using social media to build up the announcement is poor taste.
We lost the final, it happened and it's done, why have so many fans lost their ****ing minds.

Maybe all that proves is that communication isn't perfect and misunderstandings can arise, whether on Twitter or on here, without anyone being to blame.
And it certainly proves we need some transfer rumours to give us something worth posting about.Mature, sensible signature required for responsible position. Good prospects for the right candidate. Apply within.

Bizarre.
The Twitter brigade (as you weirdly name them) generally come across as spoiled brats having a temper tantrum (a bit like the green brigade at Celtc) - and so far in this thread you appear to be their champion.
