Did you own any of these classic Hibernian strips? Or does the mere sight of them take you back to a moment in your past, whether that be happy or sad, not even necessarily on the football pitch?
We’ve taken a look back into the recent past when clubs only had two strips each season, home and away. And until around the turn of the century most clubs kept a strip for two seasons, with some bringing out a new away strip and a new home strip in alternate years. While football clubs now release at least three, often four official strips per season, the special feeling of having your favourite team’s latest kit has inevitably worn off for many, with classic tops still taking you back to a certain moment in your life.
Take a look at some classic Hibs tops from 1991 through to 2016.

Hibs have had many classic purple away strips over the years, including this one from season 2015/16. Purple was first used by Hibs in 1977 when the Leith side became the first football team in the UK to wear sponsored shirts, featuring the Bukta logo, which TV cameras refused to broadcast, hence a purple and green alternate kit was produced.

No look back at classic Hibs strips would be complete without the kit worn by the heroes of May 21, 2016, when David Gray scored a later winner in the 3-2 victory against Rangers to bring the Scottish Cup back to Easter Road for the first time since 1902. Pic Greg Macvean . Photo: Greg Macvean
