What do we reckon?
I mean when will it actually be on sale, in the club shop... not to pre-order. Either home or away kit, whichever's on sale first.
I hope it's out BEFORE the Summer for once but after last year's shenanigans and with a new sponsor required... who knows?
I'll have first guess... September 2nd.
-
My hopes are not high.
Late August.
-
They will pull out all the stops this year ..... August 1st is my guess ..... forever the optomist ;D
-
1st week of August i reckon. Chelsea have already shown theirs off, it was in the Sun yesterday. I can remember the days -you could only buy their shirts in London or 1-2 towns just outside it. Now they're marketed (shop window and everything) in every town and city from Birmingham to Scunthorpe. Makes me sick.

I moved to South London when I was about 8, and that was the end of my access to Villa stuff...I would have loved to be able to buy merch in my local high street. These days people move around so much that the stores have had to change to keep up. Personally I think it's great that clubs have transcended their old fashioned boundaries.

You still won't have a huge amount of luck buying Villa stuff far away from Birmingham. Every town's sports shops has the local teams gear, plus the Sky 4, and for some inconceivable reason, Newcastle.
Considering we're again looking for sponsors, and kit manufacturers, I expect our kit to be released in about 2014. There's a new excuse every season.

Living down here in Sussex you can still only get Villa shirts in the bigger superstores and they are few and far between down here. I usually order my Villa top off of Sports Direct or from the Villa Village. My point about Chelsea was that they are now a choice for the gloryhunters and teletext warriors and are one of those teams who agressively exploit their merchandising all over the country at the expense of more local teams in those towns and cities. If Villa did it then i suppose its a sign of progress yet at the same time its a bit of a shame. I mean walking through Birmingham and other midlands towns and seeing swathes of Chelsea and Man Utd shirts really does feel like a kick in the teeth. I'd have more respect for them if they supported Birmingham, WBA etc etc.

I reckon August this time i hope we don't have to wait as long this time.
-
After last seasons major fuck up I reckon it will be out a lot sooner this year. Late July/early August.
On the topic of boundaries:
I went to a JJB store down South (can't remember where exactly, on the South coast, mind) a couple years ago and found a Blues shirt on sale.
Birmingham City? On the South coast? Pfffft...

does anyone know if were stayin with nike? i love the nike stuff but hate how they fingered us last year. can u imagine them doing that to arsenal or united?!
-
i have it on good authority that it will be july 27th for the home kit and 10th august for the away. they want kids to go on their holidays this year with them, the club feels it is a good selling point!
-
I remember when they used to be on sale June / July home and away shirts.
I didn't buy one this year so im hopin for somethin good next year
-
I have voted August as it going to have to have a new sponsor on it as well so I am betting that will/may drag on a bit

I'm sure i saw on the perimiter advertising at Anfield on tv the other night that their's get launched this week !
-
Yeah but Daz they have fans all over the world who need the kit ;)
-
I've got faith in the General and so I have gone for June, he will come through for us!
-
If the current trend is continued I estimate 1st August. 1st August 2012.

Kit update, from a very reliable source, it wont be one of the better known manufacturers next season
Henson all over again

Primark, without a sponsorship logo
-
I hope it's marks and spencers. I have a gift voucher.
-
If it is out on time and doesn't look like a bloody kitchen floor I don't care who makes it.
-
If it's not Macron I'd be astounded. On the other hand, if it's Xtep I'd be mortified.

Disappointing...
-
I couldn't give a toss who makes it so long as...
(a) they give us lots of money
(b) it's in the shops before the cricket season is finished
(c) it's claret shirt, blue sleeves... and no fucking stripes.
-
we don't have a sponsor for next season yet, do we?
go for september.
-
I thought the Nike deal had another year left to run? Oh what I'd give for a nice Umbro shirt.

About £45 ??

Someone said that fxpro had dropped us and kept fulham, does anyone know if this is true? if it is then i think oct\nov!

I would guess we can't finalise negotiations until we know for certain what league we'll be in next season. If it comes out before the new season starts, we'll have done well.
-
The new sponsor will determine when it comes out I'm affraid.
Hopefully that can be sorted sooner rather than later and not hold matters up.
And as far as I know it will be a Nike shirt.
-
If there's no sponsorship contract in place by pre-season, what are the chances of Nike doing an Asics and getting a shirt into the shops without a logo? I'd snap one up for sure if that happened. I don't like being an advert, although I'm happy to wear an Acorns shirt for reasons I've stated on this forum before.

The General has actually said on one of his threads (can't remember if it was on H and V) that we have another year with Nike and the kits will be released earlier. That was before Villa decided to part ways with FX Pro, I think, so maybe that will have some impact on the release date. Hopefully not.

New kit to go on sale in july from OS
