Go for a 71 Retro shirt

They don't make them in ages 4 and 6

I got a Le Coq 1982 "Champions of Europe" shirt for my youngest. Original, still in the bag. Fits him perfectly

If you gave it my mother to wash it would fit him

Villa and Nike should part company, but they won't, you watch.

It's called a contract. Thus we can't until 2012.

Usually the place to save a few bob, but even Sports Direct don't have as big a discount as usual.

You save £5 on the s/s adult and £3 on the s/s junior.

I won't be buying it, so haven't seen if they charge for delivery or not

Contracts have clauses such as deadlines for delivering by agreed dates?

And get-out clauses if these aren't met?

Unless we put a chimp in charge of contract negotiations, I'd have thunk that Villa have good cause to tear up the agreement.

Save £10 here on your shirt, compared to the Club shop/website. Although of course the club sees no benefit from shirt sales as the units are ordered from the supplier.

We used to... He was called Martin O Neill. And he thought it necessary to pay Habib Beye £40k p/wk.

And is the reason Reo Cokers contract expires at the end of the season. Nice one MON! I blame this seasons shite, solely on that prat...

Plenty of anti-O'Neill threads on here, our kid. This thread's about the new kit though.

Unless you're blaming him for that as well.....

They ( Nike) must surely have breached the contract.

Well,i know they'll be a very,very excited 9 year old when he arrives home after school and sees the delivery from sports direct that's arrived.

Complete with a home top,ED 9 on the back,and it does look rather dandy.All brought with his August birthday pennies,so he's obviously kept the faith.

Mind you it took all my powers of persuasion for him to forget about his usual full kit,I explained it'll be in the bargain bucket when he can finally wear it.Imagine the sales of the full kits are going to be dramatically reduced.

Instead he's had a rather fetching pair of adidas f50 mercial boots,white complete with pink laces(it had to be pink,a pre requisite).The curse of the modern day footballer.

Off to the Holte pub for the first time tonight,he'll be wearing it most proudly with all his other school cronies whom sit next to us now.

thought about it :-) unfortunately I can only blame that div for footballing matters.

I did see on Ebay, that the villa kit (and others) are available from Thailand for a mere £15. However, there's a 30-42 day wait for delivery & I'd like to bet there's a high percentage that's "lost in transit".

I think I will stick with last seasons kit for a while.

I don't like the design, I don't like the price, I don't like the fact it is a rip of some frog team's shirt and I don't like the fact it is late.

Kits should be on sale just after a season has ended, ready for a Summer of wearing them.

I read into this that Villa have negotiated to buy the shirts at £10 less and hope to sell as many as they can, but less than last season.......

Maybe Villa have negotiated a better deal for next season as well.....but I can't see this being passed on to the fans, and it shouldn't be.

Nike have lost out as well as us, but I am sure we could have ripped the 2012 contract up and signed one with Adidas ready for next season instead.

Just as a side issue, have nike actually put on their website that they sponsor us??
