Anyone manage to get one of the 1990 Umbro shirts? I think the club shop had some but they're not on the website.
-
On the retro shirt theme, what happened to the 1983 white/yellow/claret le coq sportif striped away shirts?
-
I've been searching high and low on the interweb for this but can't find it anywhere.
Hard to pop to the store when you're 10,000 miles away. :(
-
Bought one from the club shop a few weeks ago.. £35, strangely not available on line. Great shirt.. hopefully they will do replicas of that seasons away shirt too.. one of my favourite ever Villa shirts.

I imagine they'll pop up soon. I think the 80s shirts were only in stock at the club shop to start off with and then they went online.
These are better than the current shirts imo. I'm so glad the club have such a good selection of retro shirts.
-
Not sure how helpful this is, but they had them in JD Sports at BHX yesterday.

I have an original away shirt from 1990 that I'm considering selling.

I reckon it will be released again soon so if you're gonna sell it I'd do it now.
Lovely shirts.

Wow wow wow. Been waiting for that one to come out. As some one said way superior to our current kits and that includes the Luke effort too.
-
That looks pretty good tbh
-
I've got it and an original, perfect replica

My favourite away shirt. The team wore it for 3 years, even voting to ditch a yellow 'Brazil' kit in 92-93. Correct me if I'm wrong but that was only worn at Forest and as a one off at Anfield in the previous season.
-
I’m sorry but it’s time for the now traditional rant about that yellow and blue Brazil style kit. It was an absolute fucking abomination. It was a cheap crap Ellis cash in when we’d just got through to our first FA Cup Qtr final in over a decade and we had to wear that hideous piece of shit in the game at Anfield. What should have been remembered as a valiant if somewhat fruitless attempt to break our Qtr final
Hoodoo is now remembered for that absolute travesty of a kit. If it was up to me I’d buy them all, put them in a pile in the Holte End car park, douse them in petrol and burn them to a crisp, every single last fucking one of them. A shoddy, cheap, classless, tacky pile of crap that is a stain on the history of the club. The only good thing about it is the club only wore it I think 3 times in competitive fixtures and it was quickly shelved along with other shit early 90s marketing ideas like Gary Penrice. Fucking hell I hated it, absolute bollocks.

I liked it, and still have it somewhere :)
-
I wish they'd do the away version of that 1990 shirt. Brilliant shirt. what a team that was.
-
I've still got my original of this somewhere, I think I have the home one as well. And definitely have the yellow away. I doubt many of my old shirts fit these days though as i'm a tad bigger than the medium/large I used to wear.

Gary Penrice was a marketing idea? Ye gods...imagine doing SEO work on him nowadays.
-
I loved that top had the original years ago so would like to get the retro one again.
-
My very first Villa shirt was a yellow shirt with blue v neck collar and cuffs with a very smart Lion badge as worn by Brian Little etc in the very early 70’s which I loved to bits. Not sure it was Umbro though. Actually quite liked the so called Brazilian shirt also

Allan, I remember that shirt well, certainly "a thing of beauty"

It certainly was a thing of beatuy I wish they would do a replica of that again.

Ahhhhh

I've got a feeling the club were selling those as replicas years ago, back in the 90s as for some reason it's in my head that they had them in the old Pavilions shop.
-
i'm going to sound a right moaning minny now, but the highest claret band on the sleeves isn't as long as it was on the original.
The one on the JD advert is better than something i saw on twitter, which was not right at all.

Ahhhhh
Fantastic. The one with the round badge is even better imo
-
Not replica shirt, but related, I've just ordered this, except in dark blue rather than black:

The very one but I disagree about the badge. An absolutely superb shirt. Also the claret and blue version which I loved too and I still refer to as a “Lionel Martin” shirt

Agree with you Al, beautiful badge

I'm lucky that I use to wear things baggy in the 90s. Can just about squeeze into mine now.
-
Yes the badge is perfection. Great days for a young supporter

If memory serves me right we first wore this under Tommy Doc in a pre-season friendly in 1969 against an Italy under 21 side.
The team came out in yellow and blue and were roundly booed ....until everyone realised it was US in such a flamboyant kit. Anybody else remember this?

I do. I remember Dick Edwards looking up at us booing and realising the mistake.

I see you can't get any XL sold out of them already.

I liked it, but I'm hugely impressed by this rant and I'm now fully behind the cause.

I bought my lad the Umbro Mita lace up collar jobby from JD Sports as he's always borrowing my Nike Acorns one. As soon as I see that shirt I see Saunders, Houghton, Atkinson, Townsend in it.
-

Are there any differences you can see between the original and the rerelease?

£56 is a decent price in this market. I bought that yellow third for £9 on eBay in 2010. The retro kit game has gone crazy since.
If anyone this shirt in a M/L in good knick and wants rid then let me know!
