The reason we went to yellow is a fairly boring one that harks back to the days of the old Bukta tops, as has been established Bukta designed a kit for Hibs to wear when they were on TV, only problem being is it clashed with Rangers and IIRC, St Johnstone at the time so Hibs needed a third top which was the canary yellow version.

I have most of the programmes from that season so will do a little bit of digging to get the full info and perhaps a few piccies, although they'll be in that horrible green tint that used to be prevelant in the progs at that time
