there was a photo of the first nike villa kit taken on a pallett in a warehouse and leaked that was put on villatalk...

there was some heated "discussion" about whether it was real or not, and was then labelled "pallettgate" after the picture was proven to be accurate and some had to eat some humble pie...

Oh Ok.

The kit will be plain, boring and look very much like the last couple.

£55 please.

I'll put money on it being claret bodied, with blue sleeves.

If it's actually reasonably different to last years, I'll buy it, but I opted out of last seasons, because it was near identical to the year before.

Same as me, and no doubt a few others.

I'm usually the same but for some strange reason bought the kits the last two years.

I doubt I'll buy a shirt this season unless the kit is one I really like.

From what I understand the kit will be fairly identical to the one posted in the New Kit thread with the checks on the side but with FXPro Trade Forex like a pro stuff on the front.

It's a bastard when Villa play in a Villa kit, we should be going for the Inter Milan look next season.

I opted out of last years because it was so similar to the year before. If its similar this season I will opt out again

I usually buy an away shirt as it is somewhat different to the home which as most say is very difficult to come up with something original without spoiling the look or the history of it.

Sorry i thought everyone knew the term palletgate

Nearly every shirt gets leaked somewhere - since that first Acorns shirt we have never had a sniff - there have been some very good mock ups done but as always someone will always take offence

Most want to keep with tradition and there really is not a lot you can do to improve on what we already have

08/09's shirt was leaked early. I've still got the leaked pictures somewhere.

Last years managed to not leak though. We had the whole Bullring to Bullring thing.

I saw last seasons kits about a week before it came out, but not a peep this season.

It's a classic commercial dilemma for the club.  The fans demand a traditional kit, but when they stay traditional the kits are obviously going to be similar year-on-year, meaning many fans - like yourself - won't buy them.

I would imagine - but have no evidence to back this up - that they probably sell more shirts when they go non-traditional and vary the design quite a lot, but the result is a lot of disgruntled traditionalists.

I will definitely purchase a Nike tracksuit top if they follow the style of the world cup tops......!
