Title: 150 celebrations
Post by: claret+blue ed on April 23, 2024, 05:33:24 PM
I’m sure this is probably on another thread somewhere, but wasn’t the 150 celebrations due to start at the Liverpool game. Has the switch to Monday night messed up any plans??

On Sunday, they pulled a fabric circle with the 150 logo into the centre circle which then promptly got soaked by the sprinklers. They then flapped the wet heavy thing about as best they could for a minute when the players came out.
What more do you want? Let the celebrations begin!

That was hilarious. Looked like it was sopping wet and weighed a ton as they tried to carry it off the pitch before kick off.

Is that the one that looks like a Villa ISIS collaboration?

Id love to see 11 ex players/legends at the 150 celebrations. People like Taylor little JPA laursen mellberg etc. I think we did something years agi vs aheff utd and beat them 3-0

Yeah i think it was. They lined up a load of legends before ko to get atmosphere up and it was brilliant  would love to see that again.

I think patrick berger scored in that game and it was one of his best games for us

When he was injury free a good free transfer. But I think I recall he spoiled himself by touting one our better players as a transfer target. Not 100% sure who that was.

I'm pretty sure it was Barry, because he was being heavily linked with Liverpool and Berger had his success there.

In hindsight, they shouldn't have made it from leftover Castore shirt material.

I actually like it.  It's grown on me.  Looks quite discreet and classy.

I think it looks weird on its own but I'm interested in seeing it on things, I think it might look better in different context.

I can't help but think the design (if not the colour) looks like something you'd see on the side of a gurdwara. Not sure if I like it or not.

If we win the league, the FA cup, or Champions League next season, I'll have the bastard tattooed somewhere.  ;D

They're using the badge on the pre-season ad. I wonder whether this one will be on he shirt for next season.

It might be that, but my take was that they were just using it to represent the home game at Villa Park before the new badge's unveiling.

I think the claret lion/150 Year Anniversary looks good at the top (in the same colours as the logo below).
