In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Scottish side Hibernian had kits which were similar to those worn by Arsenal, though none using the exact same template as they were on a different two-year cycle.
The last of those kits – the unsponsored used when they won the league cup in 1991 – only lasted a season, as 1992-93 saw them wearing a new Bukta kit, with Macbean Protective Clothing coming in as sponsors.
With all due respect to Bukta, it’s quite the comedown and so the request we received just over a month ago was entirely logical:
@museumofjerseys any chance of hibs in Arsenal 92-94 in green white and purple please? 🤔#fantasykitfriday

Purple may seem like an odd choice, but their 70s away in that colour has a cult status, and it has been revisited a few times over the years, so it is a logical selection as a tertiary colour.
