Hard to believe or not that is the reason purple was chosen, was featured pretty heavily in the papers at the time and had a picture of Shiela(?) Hart with one of teh strips. We wore them away in Europe either against Sporting Lisbon or around about that time. This was long before the Bukta thing. The purple Bukta top is without doubt the worst Hibs strip ever.
Hibs have worn blue shorts a few times, first when we won the Scottish Cup in 1887.
EDIT
If it were a Jamboesque washing accident how come the sleeves came out white?
