Haha, yup! Ness is a Villa fan.

Good story that though, shame about the ending! Definately one of my favourite new-shirts. Infact, I barely wore it last season because I was too proud to take it off the hanger! Does that make me sad?

Best of recent years is the one we wore when we beat Blues 5-1. Nike have been great i must admit although i think Umbro always made our best kits, particularly 80-81, 90-92 and 92-93.

I hope the new home top has a collar....not that im going to wear a tie with it or do my best Fonz impersonation....just gives the other half something more to iron on a Sunday ;-)

Best home kit easily the 77-81 version and my favourite away was probably the candy striped le coq one in '83, despite the claret running in the bloody wash

haha

I HATE when the shirt has a color.  Am I playing golf? Polo? why the collar? Is that comfortable?

I just hope we dont get something with stripes, makes my face look ugly...

No collar please.

A design that is a bit different wouldn't hurt for a year.

Totally agree about 1977-81 version. I remember having the away kit with the diamonds on the arms - now that was a shirt!

With regards to the le coq 1983 away, I bought one in the city for about a fiver as it was being replaced but then proceeded to use it for "odd jobs about the house" so it's probably still up the loft covered in paint

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.


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.





Easily the worst kits since the Henson monstrosities..... Just my opinion, I know a lot of people did like it.

I bought the Away monstrosity on e-bay a while back and still cant bring myself to wear in in public.
