A lot to like but the best way to celebrate our 150th anniversary is winning the Scottish Cup, beating the mutants every time and European fitba.

Nah, that is a different thing.

A lot to like is celebrating 150 years of Hibs, none of what I read really does that. Our club are a shambles in the background. You do know they never asked the bounce, the biggest branch or the general fans what we might like to see. No idea if they spoke to Hibs Net, the other branches, the association or Uncle Tom Cobly. Its no as if they ken better than us ffs, that is clear.

I'm sure that smelly tramp PR guy still hangs about. Maybe he consulted himself and invoiced the club appropriately. For me there's no leadership or direction from our club. If the Black Knights do become more involved or assume overall control we'll be asked to pony up a lot lot more just like Bournemouth supporters have.
 
I'd launch three 150th anniversary kits based on our birth, 50th year and 100th year to celebrate 150 years.

To celebrate our 1875 birth our white one with harp, white shorts with green stripe and green socks.

Then our all dark green 1925 top.

And our centenary top 1975.

There should be no shirt sponsorship on any of them.

Would love there to be no sponsorship but we need cash. Big loss in these times.

Remember they used to give you the option of a sponsorless kit once upon a time. I'm not overly keen on Bevvy plastered across the front.

Can't recall that thought it was only junior tops that had that privilege. I'd welcome that opportunity though.

There are Hibs historians /,authors and former players like Pat(who of course has family roots back to our founding fathers) who you would have hoped to have been consulted to help in planning the 150th.

I've not heard of any engagement with hibs.net or any other fan group. I personally received an email invitation to complete a very short survey a few weeks back.

Perhaps the bit in bold is because the stalwart Hibbies at Hibs are pretty thin on the ground 😳

I absolutely agree. A 150 year commemoration should address those 150 years, from origins through the journey that has taken us to today. I would like to have seen;

- a trip to Ireland
- something hosted at St Patricks - there’s a new crew in there but they tried to do a memorial to Canon Hannan at his grave last year. My mate was the single person that showed up. But then there was no publicity beyond the parish newsletter. I don’t know if they engaged Hibs or not.
- which reminds me, something celebrating the Canon, either as part of these other things or a distinct thing
- some kind of gesture towards todays immigrants to the city, sponsoring something or other
- recognition of footballing milestones - RWE ticks this box
- some kind of community thing in Leith and / or the Southside

If this club was just about baubles and ‘commercial opportunities’ we’d be as well supporting Man City on sky.
 
Save yourselves £200 on 'end of season Awards' or 'Edinburgh Castle meal'
Fans can do it better and less expensive.

Stephen Dunn RIP, Hibernian FC Director, spoke brilliantly about our heritage at the Ballingarry ceremony. He got us 100%.

BIG G
 
No fussed about the Proclaimers tbh as we’ll either be playing in Europe or the cup in July and the pitch will be done in May/June.

Good wee article on it here

Totally agree,

The most glaring omission for me in this initial publicity blurb is the absence of any mention of our co-founders Canon Hannan and Michael Whelehan. There's no mention of St Patricks Church just the "Cowgate area" and while St Marys Street Halls are mentioned they don't connect it to St Pats CYMS. Its almost as if they're uncomfortable or embarrassed mentioning these historical facts.

I had some dealings previously with an in-house Club historian who didn't seem to like our early history very much and this smacks of his work or someone with a similar mindset.
