Now that's a tracksuit.....

[UsualSuspect]

I was in JD Sports yesterday and came across this:

Good quality and looks the part.

Isn't available in the Club shop bizarrely

It is in the club shop, saw it the other day. I didn't think it was quite accurate with the original to be honest, but as an item in its own right it's pretty cool

Looks good wouldn't mind buying one.

Very nice tracky top, some of the retro stuff is good.

Would like to see our all claret tracksuit top from the late 70's with the diamonds on the arms

Mid-70s, the all claret tracky top. The late 70s was a blue top with claret (flared) trousers

Did we wear the all claret for the 77 league cup final?

[Chico Hamilton III]

yes

[The Villa Werewolf]

Nice top, but seems a little odd to pay homage to a losing final...

[UsualSuspect]

yes

Thought we did, I never had that one, I had the later one with the blue top and claret flares, bugger me they were forever getting caught in the chain on my bike!

Third division side at the time and beat a star sudded Man U side in the semi final. Quite an achievement.

that side and Vic were the start of the rise of the club that won a couple of trophies in the early 80's..


loved that time as a 8 year old Villa fan.
