Kit On-Sale Update

A brand with checks.

I don't like the collars,they look a bit flimsy ( if that makes sense!).

Football sihrts are always a rip off, most fans who buy them are used to it - it's successful conditioning in action.

Before Nike can sell the kits they need to make a specific number of shirts, (large one, at that) enough so they can supply all the stores (Villa store, JJB, Sports Direct, online-stores, etc).

As Villa didn't agree a new shirt sponsor until June then it's going to take longer than a month for them to create the thousands of shirts they need to fill the original quota.

Be patient. As soon as they have realised how many shirts they can make per week/month then they'll let the club shop know when they'll be getting them in stock.

Pre-orders are often classed as a different sale, as they have to make surplus for the shop(s) too.

You make it sound like it's the first time AV have ordered shirts.
You make it sound like Nike aren't very experienced at this sort of thing.

Perhaps it's more to do with Nike having a pecking order for clubs ....

Can't they just get those nimble fingered 9 year olds to sew faster?

To be honest, I'm no fan of Nike, but if the club is going to fanny about in trying to sort a sponsor until so late on, you can hardly blame them for taking time to sort the shirts out.

55 quid, though.

Anyone who pays that is absolutely hatstand.

[TimTheVillain]

That's their problem (Nikes), I think they've got a little more entrepreneurial of late.

Are the shirts genuinely going to be £55?!  Where is this listed?  Haven't they been £45 since the 90s?  £45 is pricey - £55 is just silly!

Listed as £49.99 on the provided link. £55 is an unsubstantiated post from PTV.

[PaulTheVillan]

Depends where you look.

Its a trasdition between me and my dad that we buy each other a shirt for our birthdays every year - both of ours in September - so I'll have to get one or the other. I hardly ever get the away kit but may have to as I'm not a fan of the check nonsense on the home kit.

I'll stick with the retro option, might even roll out my old yellow shirt with the old round badge (the last one to have it on i think) for a match.

[peter w]

If they're selling that I may be tempted. With that tracksuit top that was posted a while back.

They wont be £55 in Sports Soccer and I dont give a shiny shite that Villa wont get the money directly.

I've got that shirt and I wore it a Goodison a few years back (The Ashley Young last minute game).

I felt like a king for the day.

Ok.

Maybe I'm wrong but aren't Littlewoods catalogue stuff normally abit more than your "normal" prices for shopping ?
