Hibs unveil new away kit with NHS tribute as club make pledge to Edinburgh health charity

Hibs have unveiled their away kit for the 2020-21 season, complete with a 'Thank You NHS' message on the front.

It was announced in April that the Easter Road club would wear a message of thanks to the health service on their shirts next season, as well as inviting NHS workers to the first home game with fans of next season.

Now Hibs have released their away kit for next season, with a purple and charcoal design.

Fans can pre-order the shirt now with deliveries to be made in July.

Supporters will be asked to pay the sum of £5 to have the ‘Thank You NHS’ transfer applied, with all profits being donated to local charity the Edinburgh & Lothians Health Foundation.

Hibs said: "Both shirts convey our thanks to the frontline heroes of the NHS, who are going above and beyond on a daily basis to nurse the nation through an unprecedented period.

"Designed in consultation with NHS Scotland and the Scottish Government – while aimed at appreciating the efforts of the health service throughout the UK – we’ll be working in partnership with NHS Lothian and the Hibernian Community Foundation to deliver a layer of meaningful communications, engagement and community service.

"The first league home game played before a crowd will also be ‘Thank You NHS Day’ and we will welcome hundreds of NHS staff along as our guests.

"We are planning further fundraising and expect to hand over a six-figure donation by the end of the season, with a minimum of 100 tickets donated to NHS staff and other key workers for all our home matches through our ticket fund."
