Nothing of the new kit

[kryten_K2]

Personally I'd love to see a return to the 1994/95 kit. Wide claret & thin blue stripes! The away kit that season was brilliant!!

Some, of course - think otherwise.

Whatever the design, some will like, some wont.
If you like buy, if not dont.
Personally, i prefer a traditional shirt of claret body/light blue sleeves.
It doesnt mean id buy it, as i like getting the retro shirts.

I liked that kit as that was when I first started going down Villa Park.
Wasn't keen on the white socks.
Loved the home and away kits that year.

Totally agree with Paul. That is one of my personal favourites too.

I'll probably buy this season's no matter what it looks like - purely because I'm collecting all the Nike shirts. Might have to re-buy a few though as the Acorns lettering is coming off the latest.

I think the 08/09 Nike kit is the best so far.

You'll buy the shirt in 20 years then.

Ohhh, SNAP!

Well, why not? It will be the popular FA Cup winners shirt of 2011.

Chelsea? :)

No, Aston Villa. Silly boy.

I thought last season 2nd strip (this years 3rd choice?) was awful and so boring

Which we could have a really dynamic away kit - something like the Portugal away strip in our colours would be good

I hope Nike pull their finger's out for the away strip. I've not been unimpressed once since they became our suppliers.

07/08 - white with blue stripes was nice.
08/09 - electric blue with black sleeves was extremely ... erm ... 'standout-able' (in a good way)
09/10 - white and greyish was simple, yet still different.

Like Smithy said though, people moan about the home shirt being 'boring', but it needs to be simple to keep the tradition! Let's just hope it's better than Man Utd's 10/11 home.

Have not seen it - although they have the obvious colours they do seem to play around with the design a lot and none of their "fans" complain about it

[mshurst]

That's because 60% of their 'fans' re-produce the kits in far-away countries! ;-)

EDIT. I don't know how many of you have seen this in the past, but I find it quite interesting to see how they've changed over the years... Link.

Here's Man Utd 10/11. Ridiculously plain.

I hope Nike start to adopt our retro kits and re-release them in the club shop.

The current retro ones are a bit shite quality wise. Nike could do wonders with them and a few classic trackjackets.

Like what Adidas do with Liverpool and Chelsea and Umbro do with England, Citeh etc.

Pic above just reminded me of a funny yarn...
I was in Sth Africa over Christmas and went on a Safari at Kruger between Christmas and new yrs. we had  a great time and i wanted to give our guide a good prezzie rather than just cash, so gave him my villa top, (the one shown in the post above). Anyway the fella was really made up and thanked me profusely for it which made me very proud and glad i'd managed to spread the villa word. Imagine my discomfort, when around 10 mins later, your man comes back to me and says: Hey man, you know, my team, I really, really like Liver-pool... gutted. couldn't ask for it back and knew he'd probably still wear it (more for the nike badge probably, but there you go..) I'm hoping maybe one of the younger kids ended up with it and someone will be glad of it and it brings them  bit of luck in a few games!!

as an edit to this - we just watched that episode of Gavin and Stacey (way behind UK telly in australia) where nessa wakes up next to smithy.. thought it would be one of smithy's west ham shirts , but clocked it was that top and sai to my mrs: looks more like a villa shirt that - then she gets up and its the full-on xxxl 08/09  Villa shirt '' acorns' and all..!
