I liked my replica home kit.. Until I put Makoun's name on the back and he left about 5 days later.

I'm very ready for us to ditch Nike and go to Puma or Adidas.

Go back to Umbro, just so they can bring out an updated version of the 1992/93 classic.

Brilliant, full of doom and gloom everywhere and you want a kit with string round its neck!!  :-)

I quite liked this seasons kit from seeing it on tv. A mate of mine told me they were on sale in rebel sport in Brisbane (minus the club sponsor for some reason). So I went down to get one- couldn't decide whether to get the home or away but was gonna probably get the away as white is better in the qld heat.

When I saw it in the shop I was shocked. A cheaper nastier material I have yet to see. Terrible, both of them. I tried on the large and whilst it comfortably accommodated my ample gut, it was almost down to my knees. Reluctantly I walked away unwilling to part with the 120 dollar asking price (approx 90 quid).

Had a look at the Celtic and man u ones to compare quality and both seemed to have better material and quality finish.

Someone on here wrote the club is bringing out a retro one of these anyway, keep your eyes peeled for it as I haven't seen any pics yet.

If anyone knows where I can get a 1957 FA Cup winning shirt with long sleeves, please let me know !

It's the claret and blue striped one - and it's the last time we won that damned elusive cup.

Who was the guy that did the mock ups before? Would be great to see similar designs in an adidas format.

On the OS there is a picture of a retro version of the 1993-95 Asics shirt but when you  click on Retro shirts it's not in there.

Got a Villa catalogue in the post. They have two retro kits, one the 92/93 kit that we wore in the first season of the premier league with the strings, the other the stripy one we wore in the two seasons after that. The first one is called the 1990 kit for some reason though.

I am hoping they release a retro 95-96 kit with AST on as that was my favourite ever kit.

That's spooky as I just dug out both the 93 and 94 home shirts for future games. I need a new lucky shirt after the BFR Brazil shirt let me down after the baggies game.

how about a Henson revisited, someone has already commented on another thread this season has the feel of 1986 to it!

great top that was tho despite the lack of a badge!

and the hooded tracksuit top was a really cool item

For all of the negative associations linked to the Henson kit, it was damn good quality.

Back in the 80s wearing your colours to a game, certainly an away game, was asking for trouble, so my kits back then were almost exclusively used for playing 5-a-side in.   It says something for the speed of  Villa's demise that in my first year at college I was wearing an only just out of date Le Coq Sportif Champions of Europe shirt and in my final year it was the Henson relegation shirt.
