What a shock. . . the claret socks!
« on: August 01, 2010, 02:37:39 PM »
I quite like the new kit, but yesterday I have watched the Feyenoord game on streaming and I have immediately realised that I'll never acclimatize to the claret socks. West Ham or Burnley may wear claret sicks, but Aston Villa are sky blue socks, imo. . .

True. I think it looks a bit wrong still, but I'll probably be used to it by Christmas.

Traditionally we always wore claret socks, and long may we do so.

Sky Blue?

Do you mean Pale Blue?

All a matter of taste, I prefer the Claret socks.

Ok for a season or so.

Wore claret socks with the Reebok strip in 95/96 and didn't do us any harm.

That kit had a more retro look to it though. This one seems to have taken the halcyon days of DOL's last season as it's inspiration.

Claret socks second choice, white socks first choice, pale blue socks third choice for me.

Either pale blue or claret for me, it's white socks I never warm to!

At last.  A sane view on such a matter.  Bring back the black socks with claret & blue bands at the top.  Beautiful!

Agreed. I'm always disappointed when we dont wear claret socks
