New kit and commercials - (now with added poll)

[Walmley_Villa]

Thankfully looking forward now we have a new kit and prospective new sponsors. Anybody heard anything? 'Rumour' has it that the home kit is based on the 82 home strip and the away kit pretty awful?
Obviously staying up should be beneficial from a sponsorship perspective and I pray we don't end up with Wonga (like the Jawdies). With the new TV deals can Prem teams now drive a harder bargain? We all thought that the IMG involvement when RL took over would push us up the commercial ladder but apart from Nike not much else seemed to materialise.

My biggest fear was that if the worst had happened investment in the youth set-up would have suffered together with staff redundancies etc.

I hope and I'm sure we wouldn't end up with someone like Wonga as our sponsor, as what they do is pretty immoral.

[Des Little]

The sponsor is less of an issue - very few (if any) sponsor names improve the look of a shirt, so whoever we end up with will have to do.  My concern is more with the style of the kit - Macron are absolutely dreadful and I fear the worst.

cant see it being someone like wonga  ( or poundland even ) 

I heard Sheff Wed turned down one of those day loan companies as sponsors , even thou the money was good but they did not agree with them .  well done Sheff Wed , shame the goverment don't ban the adverts on TV.

so this probably means delay of launch for kit as we might not have a sponsor sorted yet (assuming this is correct)

I follow Football Shirts on Twitter.

Nothing about our new kit yet but a lot of interesting new kits for other teams are on there. I'm not sure how accurate it is though.

[ADVILLAFAN]

Hopefully the rumours that it looks like the '82 home shirt are true, that would be ace.

Having a quick mooch around the interweb, it appears Norwich have ripped off the idea to copy the '82 kit: www.football-shirts.co.uk/fans/norwich-city-errea-home-kit-201314-dare-to-dream_19436

On a side note, Manchester City's prospective away kit is, in my opinion, vomit inducing: www.football-shirts.co.uk/fans/potential-manchester-city-201314-away-kit_19483

That kit looks worse than AIDS.

Oh no, not the new kit thread! I can't cope with the stress of that, and the associated 'badge sub thread', so soon after the relegation thread has ended!

The quality of the Macron kit was poor, not just the design.

Jesus Christ Norwich. *Cringe*

Yes, the wife bought me the home top and both the shoulder patches lasted about two weeks before coming off. The away top is my son's favourite Villa shirt so far though. Which I guess was the target market to be fair.

I really like that. But then, I like Norwich's colours, anyway.

That's made my eyeballs bleed! Shocking!
