'The most beautiful kit I've ever laid eyes on' - Hibs fans react to new 2021/22 kit

Hibs have launched their new home kit for the 2021/22 campaign and fans are loving the bespoke design.

Detail from the new Hibs home shirt

The shirt maintains the club's traditional green body and white sleeves, with both bottle green and emerald green being used. A map of Edinburgh is sublimated in the material while the shirt features a thistle emblem on the reverse.

Stephen Sibbald wrote: “Really like it, good start from Joma.”

Tracey Smith added: “Hibs and Joma have smashed it well and truly out the park with this kit. Absolutely love it.”

Hibs fan Hope admitted: “I think I might be a wee bit in love.”

Dean Clements couldn’t resist a wee dig: “Things you love to see! Hearts release their Sunday league “Inter Milan” style £5 Umbro sale strip. Then Hibs absolutely smash it out the park with a custom-made number, with new kit provider and sponsor.”

Claire Lawrie tweeted: “I like this.. I like this a lot.”

Jack Gillies was impressed: “That is a beauty – love the map of Edinburgh, great touch.”

Hollie Liddell said: “This is unreal!”

Stevie Carnie added: “One of the better Hibs strips recently! Would’ve preferred a white collar but overall, thumbs up.”

Stephen Watson was chuffed: “Big fan of this, colour is great, like the map idea and the sleeves are great. Well played.”

Charlie Banks was smitten: “That is the most beautiful kit I've ever laid my eyes on.”

Even Hearts fans were impressed, with @ViewfromGorgie writing on Twitter: “All joking aside about the new Hibs top... it's actually nice to see clubs doing something a bit different. I'm totally on board with the map of the city.”
