The harp and colours are for [[Ireland]] where the club’s founders migrated from to Edinburgh. The club was formed in 1875. The sailing ship is based on the coat of arms of the Port of [[Leith]] where Hibernian now play their home games. The castle is based on the coat of arms of [[Edinburgh]]. | |||
The chevron signifies both Arthur’s Seat, the volcanic hill which dominates Edinburgh and overshadows Easter Road Stadium, the base of the club. It also signifies the slope which the playing surface at Easter Road used to be infamous for until it was levelled around 2000. | |||
