Hibs fans will soon be seen wearing the new ‘Thank You NHS’ tops as the club has started the process of dispatching the pre-ordered 2020-21 home kits.

Fans will receive an email advising when their order has been dispatched and will also receive a tracking number for their parcel via email/text from Royal Mail.

Those who have selected the ‘collect in-store’ option will receive an email once their order is ready to be collected from the Clubstore.

Fans should take this with them – or have proof of address and their order number – upon collection.

The club has asked that supporters do not come to the Clubstore to collect their order unless they have received the email.

Fans who have pre-ordered the 2020-21 infant home kit will experience a slight delay with the arrival of these items as are currently having the Thank You NHS transfer applied and are expected to arrive within the next two weeks.

Once the club has processed the majority of the pre-orders, they will open up the option on Hibernian Direct to pre-order the home kit again for the second batch of stock, which is expected in September.

Once staff have cleared the home kit pre-orders, they will move immediately to fulfilling the away kit pre-orders, as quickly as possible.

A statement on the club website reads: “We’d like to thank you, once again, for supporting the club through the pre-order of our 2020-21 kits, and for your patience and understanding in these unprecedented times. It’s greatly appreciated.

“Our small, hardworking Clubstore team have a huge task on their hands in the coming weeks, but are working round the clock to make sure you receive your order as soon as possible.”
