Thursday.... so the rumour about Sunday seems right.

No wonder Emi was in tears. The last time we will see that beautiful kit. :-[
-
We're still in May. We're going to know one of the kits for next season. This is weird, yet shows we're getting something right for once. I wonder what the on-sale dates will be...

bloody hell a kit out early , who needs the FA Cup ??
-
Risky strategy of wearing new kit Sunday. Either will have long association with triumph or memories of near miss heartbreak
-
I reckon every away win we've ever had at Old Trafford was in a white top (unless we were allowed to play in claret and blue or had to change to something else because of a clash). Certainly, the last three were.
-
Pretty sure I was wearing a white away top last time we won there, too. Which proves it, in my mind.
-
New kit being shown on Thursday, but on sale 24th September (subject to stock)

Pretty much the reason I decline to get this season's white away kit after the Wembley capitulation.
-
September 24th, that's more like it! Worried for a second there that the club were actually going to sell T-shirts while it's still warm enough to wear T-shirts and was concerned that I may have tumbled into some sort of "zone" that one might associate with the soft glowing light from the sky when the sun is below the horizon. Can't think of an apt name for it.

Leak? Not sure it’s legit or not

My God that looks boring - more like a training top

Can't be real as I don't see a dragon.

Exactly my thoughts

Yeah, not keen on that if it's legit. I'd like a purple away/third kit. Similar to Fulham's one this year but all dark purple with white detailing.
-
Goalie kit?
-
I wondered whether Betano might be one of the brands to be implicated in the IoM front company losing its license. It isn't, but the one we had last year seems to be.
I also saw a couple of dimwits on Twitter laying out their "dream" sponsor once the betting jig is up. I can't tell you what they were because I was forced to set fire to a few continents at the thought such people exist.
Anyway, Buckfast or Nurofen for me.
-
The blue trim looks alright. Need to see what colour the shorts and socks are before forming an opinion.
-
Not a patch on this season's beauties.
The badge would look better full colour on there.
Also, what's with having the same badge on two season's kits? Amateurs.
-
Do we get the trefoil logo on the third kit?
-
Do we get the trefoil logo on the third kit?
Apparently as an Adidas elite team, yes we are. Add long sleeves & for once they can take my money.
-
Good to see total meltdown on social media about this shirt.
Wouldn’t be a kit launch without a meltdown!
-
Imagine the third kit with the trefoil logo and the 70/80s Villa badge.
-
Add shorts and socks in the same blue as the trim and I reckon that'll look really good. On its own it's a bit plain.
I'd be surprised if it isn't legit though, matches the teaser from yesterday and the rumours. It's also exactly the sort of photo you get from someone who's been working on stocking shelves at the store/launch event and they've got a sneaky phone pic.

I did see an Adidas pre-announcement saying it would be black and light blue. Haven't been able to find it again though.

Aston Villa and adidas are delighted to unveil the club’s new 2025/26 season away kit.
Predominantly black, the design on the raglan shoulders is inspired by the Bullring, one of the iconic landmarks on the skyline of Birmingham and where a brand-new Aston Villa store opens today.
Available in Authentic and Replica styles, both fans and players will wear the fabric of our city in this bold design.
Built for fast-paced football, the adidas authentic jersey has a slim fit and lightweight fabric, garnished with a ‘Villans’ sign-off on the back neck and a heat-applied club badge on the chest.
The new shirt will be worn for the first time in our final match of the 2024/25 season at Manchester United on Sunday, May 25.
Chris Heck, President of Business at Aston Villa, said: “Our 25/26 away kit launch is a continuation of our exciting partnership with adidas. We wanted this to be a representation of our iconic home city, where a lot of our fans away-day journeys start and end. This partnership keeps going from strength to strength and we look forward to seeing this fantastic kit on the pitch this weekend.”
adidas, said: “With Aston Villa’s away kit, we wanted to create something that goes beyond performance – a jersey that captures the bold, modern spirit of Birmingham. The Bullring’s architecture served as the perfect inspiration to tell the story of innovation and pride that run through the city and its football club. It’s a design that speaks to the future while staying true to Aston Villa’s identity and we can’t wait to see the players and fans wear it with pride next season .”
The range is on sale now across our Bullring, Villa Park and online stores as well as via JD and adidas. Some items, including Authentic shirts and Women’s styles will be available at a later date.

That looks a lot better.
Still very simple but clean.
-
Decent away top that.
-
Yeah quite like that, plain and simple.
-
It's pretty horrible. Grey is rubbish. Like the dragon one better.
-
That’s really nice.
One thought though, will we see the third kit used more as it’s not quite so distinct from claret as white?
-
That's quite nice! What is this on sale already malarkey? It'll never catch on!!
-
Need to see it in person, but not sold on it personally. Still looks like hacked together training top, to get something out for the shop opening to me. I think they should have made all the transfers match the light blue colour on the stripes.
Guessing that means the third kit with the trefoil logo is destined to be white with claret trim. That thing is gonna fly off the shelves! 🙏🏻
-
Genuinely baffled that so many people like a horrible grey kit. Do you go outside and celebrate when the weather is shit?

Grey!?
-
I like it.
-
So that's the training top, when does the away kit get released?
-
Hopefully it comes with CL badges
-
Love it, plain and simple and the colour suits my general mood to a tee!
-
Does anyone know if the season ticket discount is valid in the new Bullring store?

More good news, the sunny spell is due to end and the forecast is rain tomorrow. :)

I thought the same about the transfers, think it would have looked better if they were all light blue. I'd also have preferred it if the shirt were all-grey (or all-black). I won't be buying it, but we've had a lot of white away kits recently, and no one can say it looks like a Chelsea shirt.
-
There's an all red one behind the black...training/third or GK possibly as the dummy is holding the ball. All yellow too in the kids section. Yellow long sleeve in first pic, probably GK.

It was always going to be black, last season it was last minute deal so we got Man Utds previous seasons 3rd kit design.
This season is the real Heck effect just like everything that's been decorated under his charge Black, just like the tunnel, coach and all the hospitality bars.
-
Are the stripes blue on the shorts? Looks like no stripes on the site pics and I didnt like them, thought they needed more blue trim.

For sale at the Bullring.

-
Keepers I reckon. Do keepers wear change kits different to the outfielders if for example, we wore the black kit at Liverpool but he has to wear the home / 3rd kit top?
Edit: Other pictures added since initial reply. Maybe we have red/yellow away tops for keepers for that eventuality. Or one is home keepers.

That shoulder design really screams "Bullring" to me.

Yes, but with a white logo and crest. The shorts look quite nice as a standalone item.
-

I'm seeing a subtle but unmistakable nod to Asda Minworh on some of the piping.
-
Feels like years since we actually played a last game in next years kit…see others do it all the time.
Probably isn’t years just seems it to me :-)
-
Looks decent, I like the black and blue scheme The nod to the bullring with the discs on the sleeve and body is all a bit odd but the pattern looks decent on it. Hats off for them actually getting something out and on the shelves before September.
-

It's a nod to how our opponents will be beaten next season.

I'm not a fan of it. Unveiling the new kit shortly after the season ends is fine by me.
-
I think it looks good. But then I can only see with one eye.
-
I would much prefer any Villa kit (other than the one off 150 year one) to have at least some claret / blue combination on it.
A plain kit like this , especially as our main change kit has no resemblance to Villa at all - this should of been the 3rd kit like last years Blue effort
Its a no from me
-
That’s really nice.
One thought though, will we see the third kit used more as it’s not quite so distinct from claret as white?
That would be my assumption.
-
It’s nicer than it looks in the pics. But it’s not a nice or as high quality as this season’s home or away. It feels like the 150 top, the slippery cheaper feeling material.
Also, they gave me two larges instead of a large and a medium. >:(
-
I popped down to the new club shop early doors before I went to the office. Like Muskahound said, the quality does seem different and it's an extra fiver. It is nice though.
-
I am disappointed in the shop, really.
I was number 139 in the queue and didn’t get a goodie bag, for starters!
But, in all honesty, it’s an adidas shop with a Villa alcove in it. Calling it a Villa shop is like saying WH Smiths is a Costa cos it has a self-service machine in it.
Still happy it’s there, though, and it will be convenient to have a shop in the centre again.

Might have seen you there, but I always imagine you as Clamps from Futurama, so wouldn’t have recognised you. :P
-
Haha, I got there around 8.05ish and waited in a queue for a bit. There were too many in there to have a decent look round so I'll pop back at some point. Not a muskahound in sight mind.
-
I reached the front if the queue at 8:18, so you obviously missed me slicing up that apple in the air with my rapier.
-
Id have liked a claret stripe on the left and blue on the right liek arse did with the green and red but I am odd . :)

It's the John Major of football kits, not impressed. Hope the home and third kits are better.

No doubt the outfield players’ shirt is something a bit more er, restrained.

Saw it JD Sports this afternoon…it’s ok but not for £85. Would have been tempted and would have looked better if the detail was deep claret rather than light blue.

I really hope not, unless we're planning to invade Lapland.
-
I quite like weird patterns on kits, but not if it's just white and grey.
-
I don’t mind it. Reminds of one of our Kappa aways.
I think the retro adidas badge is wasted and pointless on that, though. It should be on a retro-style shirt.
-
Agreed, simple white shirt, claret collar and claret stripes on the sleeves with the trefoil would be perfect.
-
Yeah, like the old Umbro one;

I bought a couple of those, lovely shirt.
-
I do remember something about there being a kit that pays tribute to the stained glass or something like that. I guess it looks like stained glass?
-
The grey kit really emphasises how piss poor the drop shadow is on the new badge. It looks like a distorted mess or seeing double…either way it was a proper crap design decision .
-
New away officially fucking cursed.
Can’t believe I wore it. >:(

I blame launching the away kit early. Had we work out current away and launched the new one in September as we normally do (joke…) we’d have won.
-
Why release a kit against Man Utd? What a stupid idea that was.
-
I always want them to wear a new kit last game, but only if it's a last day piss up when nobody really cares, not a cataclysmic match against the forces of evil that could make or break our next decade.
The kit needs to apologise for that performance, and refund the travelling supporters.

Wearing the new kit wasn't the problem, allowing Dogtanian to buy it before the game was the problem.

They wore the wrong socks. With the proper dark socks the kit will be fine.

No dragon tho :(
-
Could have been great. Too much going on on the collar and sleeve cuffs and they also don't match. Cuffs are the wrong place to have the Holte trim.
4/10 this seasons is better.
-
Looks great
-
Hopefully without the yellow lines.

It's never bothered me when the collar and cuffs don't match. It's fine, not as nice as this season's shirt but it was always unlikely to be.

Yellow piping is always a bit iffy. Don't like the neck. Is it definitely the same sexy shade of claret as this season's? As that was bang-on.

Yep, nice claret, hope it’s as dark as this season. I agree, no need for the yellow piping.

Crap.

I like the yellow but feel it should be in the neck too, or something to break up the claret. Might change my mind when I see it on.

I think they have missed a trick by not having the trousers/shorts sold with the piping the same green OR pink as the tops. They only show a match to the Pink on that page.

I wouldn't mind it for a change in 4 or 5 years' time (assuming we're still with Adidas). It may not be to everyone's taste.
-
This is precisely why they get professionals to do it.
-
When you look at the variety of kits a massive team like Barcelona has had over the years, all manner of designs, the same old same old can get a bit predictable or boring. Or that we shouldn’t be afraid of change. It’s not like haven’t had stripes in our past. Because if we don’t show some creativity now and again we will become Arsenal where every single new home it is a slight variation on exactly the same design.
-
This is precisely why they get professionals to do it.
Some of the “professionals” who have designed some of our kits over the years, at great expense to the club, should be fired from their jobs and never allowed to design football kits again.

This is precisely why they get professionals to do it.
Some of the “professionals” who have designed some of our kits over the years, at great expense to the club, should be fired from their jobs and never allowed to design football kits again.
I agree, that striped abomination at the turn of the century and the Luke one for starters.
-
I'm all for mixing the kit up a bit, something like 1 in 4 home kits we do something other than claret body with blue sleeves would be my target. However, that stripy one TV linked is fucking awful.
For the main away kit every other one would be mostly white with a yellow one here and there, the 3rd kit can be almost anything they can imagine, that's the one where they should be doing some weird shit that might turn into a classic for a small set of fans (a bit like the black, red and green one from the 90s).

The black, red and green one was the actual away kit from the 93/94 and 94/95 seasons. (Wish we had 2 season cycles now)!
My first Villa shirt was the equivalent home kit special edition from the 94 cup final. It was "different" in that it had stripes.

I know, 3rd kits weren't really a thing then, but now that they're common place I think they're a better 'spot' for the bolder ideas. The home and away from 93/94 were my 2nd and 3rd kits after having a a hummel 89/90 one as my first.

When you look at the variety of kits a massive team like Barcelona has had over the years, all manner of designs, the same old same old can get a bit predictable or boring. Or that we shouldn’t be afraid of change. It’s not like haven’t had stripes in our past. Because if we don’t show some creativity now and again we will become Arsenal where every single new home it is a slight variation on exactly the same design.
Arsenal are quite right. It's not being afraid of change, it's respecting our club's traditions. Stripes on a home strip is repulsive.

Ive always liked the ‘classic’ look of the Arsenal top. Get a collar on our home kit now and again, about as radical as I get with the home kit.

Yes, before our traditions had been established. We play in claret shirts with blue sleeves.

A mock up. But I’d certainly buy that.

They look better than Everton’s awful Goodison pattern they had, but I think it looks weird just that bit in one place.

That's a lovely home kit.

So nearly perfect. The badge and sponsor let it down

The badge is ok. It's just too big for my liking. Last year of the sponsor, what is a big brand and pays us a lot of money.

The coca cola mockup looks much better in my opinion. Not a fan of this one

That’s an instant buy for me.

Why does the scrolly bit on the cuffs look like it is from an old 8-bit video game ?
-
I like it. The picture of the that appeared a few weeks ago didn't have the yellow/gold bit at the neck, or I didn't see it. I thought it needed some in or around the collar to break it up. I think it'll look good on. Interesting to see if the mosaic appears in the shorts/socks, or if it'll be standard white.

I actually like the boring look. I’d rather we stayed clear of yellow piping, fussy patterns and other stuff going on. Last years was pretty much as perfect as it gets. The Nike kit from 2009-10 was ace, if it was the same shade of claret as last years that again would have been perfect.
-
I like it well enough
-
Disappointing if that’s the design.
-
Fuck that shit badge off, change the white stripes to claret, then it’s ok.
-
Yep, just needs to change the colour, change the stripes, total rethink on the neck, and then remove the piping, adjust the sleeve shape, and put a lot more work into the cut, and it’s just about there.

it is a grower 🤔

Be better if the stripes on the sleeve were claret (or, better still, blue) but more than happy with that.

Should we read with confidence that due to the latest marketing images with Mings, Ramsay, Watkins and now Rogers being front and centre the media trying to sell off our players to the vultures is premature?

No.

No, I'd never read into any of that. No one can know if someone will offer daft money for Rogers, for instance, at any point.

And if marketing teams were told transfer secrets there would be no transfer secrets.

I agree, that’s a lovely top. Proper Villa, as some would say.
But I have to disagree, regarding the Luke top.
For me it symbolises the club’s turnaround.
As well as being a thing of beauty 😉
In my defence my first kit was the 1970 Docherty top. My Dad hated it and loved when Vic Crowe changed it back
-
There's a nice pattern/texture on it too, and on the collar. I'm back to liking it again!

They are getting the claret bang on.

I do think the white shoulder stripes are wrong. There’s four colours on that thing.
The stripes had to be claret, or the same colour as the piping and the cuff motif.

Claret would be better, but the shirt's very similar to this year's as it is. I like the cuffs.
It's a good claretty claret. Whatever else they fanny around with I hope that would be ring fenced. The blue is (still) a bit pale for my exacting tastes but I suppose it has to match the badge?
But still, take my money Villa! (maybe, much later, when it's cheap, and we've won summat)

Cheers, I'm normally a Medium in Adidas t-shirts as I find the Large too baggy. The home shirt in Large was a perfect fit though. Looks like I'll stick with Medium for this one.

from a distance it wil look claret and blue ( sleeves ) especially on TV . Id prefer claret stripes of course but those cuffs are dreadful.

Yea that’s the one I bought too. I should have just ordered the correct size rather than trying to be clever. Still will be good to wear in flights etc.

Went down the shop today and as good as it looks, a Villa fan with money to spend shouldn’t be leaving empty handed. Tried on the new tshirt…good fit but just can’t bring myself to wear anything with that massive crap shield. I couldn’t find any casual wear that I’d wear, and there weren’t any claret shorts or swimwear that I could wear for my holiday. They really should have a better range available in the shop to suit all tastes and occasions, but they still don’t.
-
This is precisely why they get professionals to do it.
Exactly, pay the professionals to design a home shirt that is 99.9999999% the same as the one it's replacing and under no circumstances pay a professional to actually design something different because that'd be a complete was of money, keep spending money on people who only know how to use the copy and paste buttons on their design software

I think the two posts below yours explain exactly why I enjoy seeing people design their own kits and share them online. Everyone has an opinion and everybody loves to moan and criticise the official versions, but then we see what people think are better options and we realise the people in charge are making correct choices.

I quite like the idea of folk posting their own design ideas. Rather than just moan about the latest kit (like I do) it gives us alternatives to look at and inspires debate.

My daughter has bought me the Black 150th anniversary shirt. It really is a thing of beauty. Quite possibly the greatest football shirt of all time. I just need to shift a stone on my midriff as she’s got the slim fit!

Which is all the encouragement I need, sadly.

A few years ago during COVID I went to receive the vaccination , the location was in a large hall in the CityWest Hotel in Dublin.
After receiving the jab I was sitting in the holding area for the mandatory fifteen minutes waiting time, (to ensure there were no adverse effects).
As i was sat waiting i spotted a guy wearing a Villa shirt stand up to leave and noticed he also had on a Villa hat. As he walked past the area of seats i was in, i shouted a hearty "Up the Villa".
All the people around me looked up from their phones and looked at me as if i was going mad and perhaps suffering an adverse reaction to the jab resulting in an outbreak of Tourettes.
Unfortunately the guy in the Villa shirt seemed to be the only person that didn't hear me and carried on walking towards the exit door, without even acknowledging me or looking around.
I then had to spend another five minutes sitting there feeling uncomfortable until I was able to leave.
It hasn't put me off though, I still give anyone wearing a Villa shirt a good Up the Villa shout.

The Villa shop in the bullring is a bit of a let down... While it was packed with Sabbath fans filling their baskets (which was great to see) its Villa range is pretty limited and more of an Adidas shop with a Villa section, rather than a stand-alone Villa store.

The Villa shop in the bullring is a bit of a let down... While it was packed with Sabbath fans filling their baskets (which was great to see) its Villa range is pretty limited and more of an Adidas shop with a Villa section, rather than a stand-alone Villa store.
Not been, but aren't we between kits at the moment so possibly not the best time to judge.
My hope is the shop links in with gigs at the Warehouse too. Touring bands can do signings/sell merch in the city centre, hopefully making a wedge of cash and raising the profile of the warehouse/club in the meantime. For the stadium gigs there should be limited edition official adidas gear.

I have the salmon pink zip long sleeve drill top. With the help from my wife it was a gift from my 7 year old for fathers day. I love it personally.

Any hints or news on when the new home kit is out, given school holidays start over the next week....
Given we haven't changed sponsors or kit makers and seemed to be quick on the away kit release, I was expecting the home to be out relatively early.
Will be a dh gate job for the kids if they're not out til august/september

Purveyors of dodgy kits....suppose what I meant to say is I am not spending 200 quid on proper kits for the kids if they ent available until the end of the summer hols; will make do with £15/20 kits instead if the peak summer is missed.
Kids too young to realise the difference anyway

Home kit launch is tomorrow, July 15th.

Conspiracy alert!
On Instagram there are pictures of players wearing the kit. The goalkeeper kit is just hanging up on a hanger
-
Would be better if the stripes on the arm were claret (or, better still, blue) but it's a Villa kit. Happy enough with that. Our Rachel doesn't look thrilled by it, though.
-
Those things on the end of the sleeves, the tiles pattern. Not good.

so the leaks were legitimate. Kit looks fine, I’ll buy one.

There's only one picture where someone is standing up and you can see the whole kit, but it looks alright. I like that the gold/yellow is on the shorts too, and on the socks.
-
I'd need to see them side by side to tell the difference from this years.
-
I'm sickened by your servility, you dogs. It's an insult, a calumny, an assault on all that is good and just.
It's alright.
-
Not as exciting as last and a bit busy on the sleeves . On another note , i like the yellow keeper top . Something like that for an away strip next season with Claret and blue stripes please . i am sure i will get castigated but i dont care 😃

It looks fine - but it feels a bit meh, after the amazing launch last year. All feels a bit austrity at the moment.

We've made the Adidas stripes a different colour. Cough up another £85 you plebs.

Is that more to do with the scarcity of them? As we were rubbish, getting gates of 10,000 and no-one was buying any Villa gear, except 9 year old me!

The mosaic swirls are currently being added to the Holte steps. Trying to add a photo but it’s having a funny turn

Nice touch
-
Long sleeves you say?!
I wasn't going to buy a shirt, but that would change my mind.
-
Our shirt always looks better with long sleeves. It’s how a claret body with sky blue sleeves was meant to look.
In the 80/81 Championship year the players with the long sleeves always look the best!
-
When do we ditch that horrible Betano from our shirts?
-
I think the Premier League are committed to no gambling advertising from the start of next season so this is their last campaign, unless we get relegated...

Long sleeves surely aren't required anymore now we have global boiling . Wild fires etc.
I did always prefer a long sleeve as a kid , felt like better value for money .
-
I love a long-sleeved shirt, the last home shirt I bought (before last season) was the 2002-03 Rover kit.
BUT I have some initial doubts about this one.
- The inside half of the sleeve appears to be claret, rather than being light blue all the way around.
- I don't think the white stripes work as well as on the normal version, especially leading down to the thick all-claret cuff.
- The break for the sleeve sponsor is unavoidable, but there then appears to be a visible seam as if the rest of the sleeve was stuck on.
In fairness, the gold detail on the body looks good. I just think a long-sleeved version of last year's shirt with claret stripes and and all-blue sleeve would have worked better. Hopefully, I'll be more impressed when it's unveiled tomorrow.
-
I think it's shit. Would have been OK without the sleeve cuffs.
3/10.
Agreed
-
Last long sleeve I bought was 07-08 5-1 shirt. A thing of beauty. This new one just feels a lazy retread of last years.
-
We already need to ditch the away kit, always lose in it!!

Some bargains on the shop website at the moment with free delivery.

Long sleeve is only available in store.

£60 for a polo top. Jeez

It's online now. £90.
-
Would like to get the black 150th anniversary shirt, but not available in my size (M).
£80 is a bit steep anyway, hoping they do a sale at some stage.
-
Err why is the new home shirt 5 quid cheaper at JD Sports?
-
Like the olden days, where the shirts were always cheaper in places like sports direct...
-
I like the new home shirt.

No Europa patches online, which is shoddy.

Ordered the new home shirt last Thursday from the club website so this morning when the postman delivers the package I excitedly open it and find my lovely new Villa shirt is actually a kids 4-5 years Leeds Utd kit !!!!
-
Man wish last seasons home kit came in long sleeved that would have been awesome
-
I don't think they are selling as well as expected, given the number of ICYMI emails from the Villa. Still, they're cheaper than a matchday ticket now.
-
They might not be selling as well as expected because the design is so similar to last year.

Think you are right andy. Also ghe fact its £80 why would you spend that much on a kit thats very similar and my opinion not as good. I prefer the claret stripes tbh

The stripes should ideally be exactly the same blue as the sleeves.

They could've used the standalone lion for this ffs.
All three kits are shit this season. But still miles better than a shit brand like Macron or Kappa so at least there's that.

Footy Headlines seem to think it's genuine. They describe it as an artistic and bold design, featuring a white base with a marbled pattern in pastel hues inspired by stained glass windows.

It's got a massive standalone lion on the front in that opaque detail if you look.

I love it. I also really like Arsenal’s minimalist canon badge. I wish we’d do something similar with the lion.

I'm not sold on it but it's a third kit, it's a bit different, and it's better than the Arsenal and Real Madrid efforts above. I suspect it's also a kit that will look better on the players on TV, than it does in the leaked pictures.

The big flappy collars on the Arsenal shirt means it's a no from me. The Real Madrid effort looks like a poor man's Chelsea shirt, and no one wants that.

It's only a small change but it does make easier to see Jesus's face on the front.
-
After seeing the Real Madrid and Gunners 3rd shirts I'm really disappointed with that effort - I wonder of the twats at Adidas Corp recommended a late change after a much better 3rd option was made available via DHGate - saw a kid at Walsall last week sporting one when asking for an autograph, it looked 100 times better than that abomination.
-
Arsenal kit is decent (if a bit safe) but the real one is fucking awful.
If that is ours then I like it, the 3rd kit should always be something a bit weird.

I actually really like it.
As a rule I prefer minimalist, but I do also believe the third kit should embrace more ‘out there’ design options.
-
Interested to see a long sleeved version.

Top tip: create the long-sleeved experience without paying extra by having someone cut your arms off at the elbow (don't try it yourself, you can never manage the second one).

Why does everything have to be ‘inspired’ by something. The gas lamp, stained glass, that shit fucking song, the holte end blah blah whatever.
Just make it look nice so young people want to buy lots of them.
Down with this pseudo arty bullshit. No good ever came of it.

I read this thread with amazement at times, that people, full grown adults, can get so worked up about a detail on an item with limited scope for changing such things but which must do so every 12 months for maximum exploitation.
I would also bet my house that at least one poster will do so whilst not giving a second thought to the fact they've recently been spotted in public wearing sandals with socks.

Bloke in his late 50s I’m hardly the target audience for cutting edge fashion but shorts of that length with socks and loafers. Holy moly.

Yes that's very nice, but I'm not 100% sure about blue trim on cream when it's a Villa top.
-
There's some nice stuff there. Just wish that bottom top had a splash of claret on it, then I'd be all over that like a rash.

Easy enough to add yourself by wearing it around the Wood or jusr being a tad careless with some wine.

We'll allow it, given blue and white are also the national colours of Greece. We'll continue to monitor the situation.

It is nice but it’s got a hint of Chelsea or Rangers about it.

-
Apart from the home top I don't think any apparel needs the colours of claret and blue all over them. It's part of the adidas icon range, with the iconic badge and the iconic trefoil logo. The cream and blue looks very nice, bring on more colourways like that.

Good lord, that was horrible.
I wonder if that's part of a 'memories' thing, because when i think of it, and relegation, that's sad times, but when I think of when I used to wear it, when I went off to be a student, that's very good times.
But if you take the emotional part out, it was awful.
Mind you, at least it stopped any more boring arguments about the badge for a bit.
-
The Henson kit was utter shit. Not just because of how we ended up that year but can you imagine it now if our badge was just AVFC. Fucking hell. I’ll take a which way should the lion face argument all day over that.

well the claret was decent.

My first Villa kit, which is why I have a soft spot for the all claret top and one reason why I loved the Luke top
-
I noticed on this year's FPL squad graphics the 3 claret and blue clubs all look like completely different colours. West Ham looks dark red, Burnley looks purple, and ours looks almost chocolatey brown.
-
I had that Docherty kit. I remember the badge coming unattached and my Mom having to sew it on herself.

That’s the one
-
Are all the shirts slim fit? Have ordered a large and it’s a bit snug
Was hoping they would be regular size for the normal shirts
-
Not sure about this. THe first adidas dud in my opinion. If the highlight, stripes etc had been a mix of claret and blue it might have worked. A no from me.
-
That is gash
It would be shit on any other team but especially on ours - poor poor show
Such a waste of the old logo as well
-
It looks okay apart from the shit badge. I saw the away one close up on Saturday and it looks better than in the publicity photos.
-
I agree with that. I suspect the third will look better in the flesh too.
My sone hates the gold trim on the home, didn't think much to the away and when I showed him a pic of the third he was gutted, he'd hoped he'd like it...

-

-
Ta. Would be better with dark shorts IMO.
-
Shit that they had Dendoncker model the kit and then fucked him off to Spain.
-
I think it looks shit because of the insipidly pale background in those photos. Like the away, it will look better in the flesh.
-
Worst shirt for a good few years
-
The words “fucking” and “awful” spring to mind.
-
Wait all these years for the trefoil logo and they produce that.
-
Should have kept last seasons away as the third,lovely shirt that.
In other news I’m sending my large home shirt back as it’s a little ‘snug ‘ let’s say
-
I'm not a fan of any of em tbh - The only one which I'm slightly tempted by is the long sleeve home shirt.
Saw the dark away shirt in the Bullring shop during the summer, and as well as not being impressed with the colours/design, I thought the material felt cheap in comparison to last season's offerings. Bought all three last season and will probably stick with those - MUCH better designs (*and quality).
To finally get the trefoil kit and they churn out something like that is piss poor.
-
It's a bit Real Madrid.
-
The spunk stains are a nod to our celebrations this summer when we have won the PL.
Other than that it is not good. Who the fuck is in charge of decisions like the crest? Most other trefoil used a retro crest. Why are we having this forced on us? Heck in just so we can kick him out again.
-
I think all the kits are great. And as always will look better on fit blokes in their 20’s rather than us fat fucks in our sad sagging years.
-
Also, why do the away/third kits get tinted sleeve sponsors, yet our glorious claret and blue home kit has to suffer that bright orange Trade Nation abomination?!
-
Heck would have made the call on the badge.
-
I imagine the sponsor who is paying us may have wanted their actual logo on the home kit which we play in most of the time. More flexible on the other two.

3rd shirt launched
Don’t care about the shirt (it’s not a jersey lol) but the tops Unai / Barry and particularly Petrov were wearing in the video looked great
-
We have just released the best ever launch video for the worst ever villa shirt
-
Quite like the shirt personally. Not enough to buy one, but the lad will no doubt want it.
We've gone with Tielemans on the back of the home and Kamara on the back of the away. Sense a theme.
-
I quite like the shirt, to me third kits should be totally removed from your traditional colours and style. It looks like it’s being marketed as a casual shirt than a football shirt which is strange.
Love the video though, there looked to be an adidas version of the 1982 classic white shirt in there too.
-
-
long sleeves look good again
-
There were a few other bits with the 80s crest in there too. A claret zip up which looked the business
-
When you glance at it, it still looks Royal Blue to me.
-
i love that, is there awards for this kind of thing ?
-

I thought exactly the same! Not a fan of any of this season's kits tbh. Away shirt looks and feels cheap as hell especially.
-
However, the trackie top worn by Unai………is that on sale ? It’s beautiful !!!!
-
I'm non plussed by both the shirt and the video.
-
Any excuse…
Was walking down the Witton Lane one dark and windy day
I spied a poor city fan a-running far away
I said to that poor city fan it’s time for you to die
He said ‘yes I know sir, Holte enders in the sky
He ran down the terraces and fell towards the gate
Little did he know that death was sure to be his fate
He had one more short hour to live
And then he’d hear the cry
That every city fan does fear
Holte Enders in the sky
Their fists felt just like granite and their pockets lined with lead
And if they catch a city fan he’s sure to wind up dead
Cuz Villa fans rule Birmingham and city fans know why
Cuz they have seen the glory of…
Holte Enders in the sky.
-
The video is very good. I can’t keep up with all these different shirts season after season but if it’s what the people want give it to them.
-
I like the 3rd kit, but I liked the top Stan Petrov was wearing even more. That might well end up hanging in my wardrobe with the other items in the "things I'm a bit too porky to carry off" section.

Yeah. I think the design and colour scheme combined with the trefoil motif gives it quite a cool retro feel.
-
The more that i see that 3rd shirt the more i want to puke - no link to Villa in any way
-
Apart from the badge of course.
-
I'm non plussed by both the shirt and the video.
Miserable fecker. At least laugh.
-
Third kit awful ;D
-

I mean, really? It's a fucking t-shirt.

It is not a bloody t shirt . It is a kit we will not wear much and lose when we do !! ;)
-
If you could get that black GK shirt without the bloody big Betano advert on the front I reckon we'd sell tonnes of them - well, I'd buy one at least.

Liked the video, but why are there no women players in it?

Same here. I think they’re stunning! Well done, Villa and Adidas.

Apart from the badge, the lion, and the stained glass windows that are part of the design, but yes, other than that, no link.
-
Like the 3rd kit, the goalie shirts are ace, and like the video.
Can't wait for Betano to fuck off so that I might actually buy one of the things.

Its a Villa shirt so would expect a Lion and a Badge FFS
Stained glass? All i can see (with crap eyesight to be honest) is a series of purple blobs on an off white shirt - the arm stripes look awful as the same colour as the blobs, only darker and more pronounced.
There is no reference to our colours at all - last years 3rd kit was excellent and leaned towards our Scottish roots and was clean and smart.
The green and black one (Grealish wore) was akin to the iconic Guy Whittingham away shirt of yesteryear.
This looks like random bluey purple baby sick after winding accident
Each to their own i suppose
Am i allowed to hate it?
The top Barry and Unai wear is total class and i like the music to the video - but the actual video - if it was anyone else we would be laughing

A 3rd kit can be any colour really. You know the score with the home one so I would want something that breaks the mould every year.

*cancels trip to York Minster with Hookeysmith.*

At first I thought it resembled a shirt I used to mop up puke after a night of downing southern comforts in Snobs circa 1988
Now I quite like it. The keeper tops are a thing of beauty though & I'll be getting one of each.
-
Why is Barry appearing in a shirt launch video now? Does it point to any further involvement? Or is it just because he was a former player (who didn't leave under the best of circumstances)?

That made me laugh. Lots of lols. I'm not one for wearing kits but this particular shirt is very popular. My grandson who's six years old has asked his mom for one and of course grandads on the case. I've been trying for ages to get him interested in the Villa but his dad's a blue nose albeit a very half arsed one. Can't wait to see the little un wearing it. Apparently all the kids in his class want one. His school is in Kingshurst.

We took Kingshurst years ago. Chelmsley has fallen too, judging by kids’ football practice. Sheldon insurrection ongoing.

Given it makes you want to puke more and more.....

Purple number came today, thing of beauty. Could be one of the nicest Villa tops I have ever bought and it's a goalkeeper shirt which you would never believe. The material feels so smooth, the white accents make the purple really pop and the fitting ( Large ) is bang on ( 5ft 10 ). Probably going to get the black now.
-
Does anyone know if Europa League badges are available for the new kits ? Apologies if this has been asked / answered before.

The ‘82 inspired top certainly pushes it.
-
The jacket that Bouba is wearing is just so lovely. But that black jacket Malen has on is lovely as well.

Looks dark blue rather then black. Bouba's top is more a zipped sweater as the zip doesn't go all the way down.

I have been checking the OS for ages to see if they had that DNA t-shirt in stock, and they never do.
Anyone else after one might want to try the shop in the Bull Ring, they had loads of them in.

I remember long ago I’d been out drinking somewhere or other and had got to Bidston station really needing a piss. Anyway i went in, relieved myself, then after i washed my hands i saw one of those toilet vending machines. For reasons I still can’t fathom I bought one of the herbal viagras from it and necked it. Fuck only knows what I thought I was going to do riding on public transport for maybe 2hrs with a massive lob on. Thankfully it was completely ineffective.

For a second I thought you were replying to Smirker.
-
It is small and I imagine intentionally so as these items are more a fashion accessory. Which is fine I suppose. I just wish that the current badge on the main kit wasn’t so big. There’s a happy place somewhere in between.

We need to burn this black kit. Starting at Man U it’s been nothing but bad luck. Like Alex Ferguson getting rid of some grey kit Man U has after they lost a game (at Southampton maybe). We can’t seem to do anything right in it and it’s not like our away record was great to begin with. It should be a ceremonial event with religious figures from the local community in attendance. Beer vendors, food trucks and games for kids available obviously.

Whiskey nose made them change kits at HT away at Southampton, kit was never to be seen again. (If I remember right they were 3-0 down and came back to draw 3-3)

It’s obviously a deeper problem & I’m not superstitious but it’s become associated with failure. I also don’t like the all claret look - we changed to that at Everton when a more Villa-like blue shorts & socks would have sufficed.
-
I prefer the claret shorts and socks rather than blue look.
-
I don't like the all claret look either, it's like watching a bunch of little kids run around in onesies.
Hope we unleash the new 3rd kit on Sunday.

I agree, all black is for old school refs not footballers. Bin it.
Re Manyoo I think they lost that Southampton game 6-3 and the grey kit was never seen again
-
95/96, I think.
3-0 down at half-time with grey kit. Changed at half-time and lost 3-1.
-
October 1996, apparently.
-
I remember it as Easter.
-
In fact, I think we played the Saints at Villa Park on Easter Monday(?)
Southampton were in the relegation battle and I couldn't believe how bad they were as we beat them 3-0 -it could have been more.
I was gobsmacked that they then won the next match, at home to title-winning Manchester United.
-
Sorry, was collating two posts and got mixed up. The 3-1 grey kit game was April 1996. Presumably Easter, as you say. October 96 was the 6-3 defeat referenced earlier.
-
No problem, cd.
-
Terrace icons range released this morning. No sign of the white track top, sadly.
-
I wanted the drill top until I saw the massive trefoil on the back. Then saw a dad on the school run with the Arsenal equivalent on.
-
Ha, yeah, that is a double blow. My first bit of non-jersey Villa merch was a Reebok claret drill-top in 1997 so this did stir the nostalgia temptation in me but damn that massive trefoil on the back.
-
It does seem a sparse range. Wonder what happened to the couple of other items that were on that leak last month.
-
Caved-in for the away 82 inspired effort. It just looks boss. No sponsor is always a bonus.
Hummel did a range of retro shirts in 2005 with McGrath, Shaw and Cowans' names and numbers. Didn't have the funds at the time and I still get pangs of envy when I occasionally spot someone wearing one of those tops at Villa Park.
-
It does seem a sparse range. Wonder what happened to the couple of other items that were on that leak last month.
There's a second drop later in the season.
-
The gullible twat that I am, I just bought an Onana and a Kamara. The tops that is. Hoping it helps with PSR.
-
What about Daly and Mings? Apparently this range is limited and won't be replenished so unlikely to be half-price on Boxing Day or end of the season.
-
Pleasing to see so many of team wearing the long-sleeved shirt today. Hopefully, Adidas will continue to produce one for future kits.
-
Adidas Spezial collab to drop this month on the 16th.

I know it’s probably treasonous to go away from Adidas now, but these Patrick’s are beautiful and a damn site cheaper.
They are called Patrick Dijon and they have loads of colour variants.

Yes I bought a pair for my son, who is 25, which he initially really liked, but now thinks are a bit "noddy", I think some of his mates thought the crest looked a bit shit, but the rest OK. He was going to try and get it off with nail polish remover.

I just don’t think claret and blue works with trainers.

I do like Adidas, but they have become a bit too popular. I slightly prefer the Aberdeen shoe with the darker sole. But I still think I'll get a pair and you can laugh at me down the Holte Lee!

£110 for the trainers is to be expected, £110 for the shit sweatshirt isn't.

I guess it's more aimed at the yooth hoolies and wannabe hoolies. And Liam Gallagher.

I always said if they bought back claret and blue Spezials or Gazelles for us I would get a pair, and they did, so I have bought them! It looks like they are selling well, I got 9.5 and there were only 8 left, 9 and 10 sold out.

-
Love an all claret kit - my favourite is 1983/84. Makes a nice change, especially seeing how last years and this years home kits are virtually identical - I'd guess that home shirt sales are down this year.
-
I think it will look fantastic.
I know the traditionalists want the same shirt every season, but ultimately the club & Adidas need to make sales. It won't be the first or last time we adapt the template a bit. Don't panic, the following season will 100% be claret body blue sleeves again.
-
Arsenal seem to manage OK with having red body/white sleeves pretty much every season for the past 90+ years:
https://www.historicalkits.co.uk/Arsenal/Arsenal.htm
My considered opinion is that I think we should fuck plain claret shirts right off because we're not fucking Hearts.
-
I agree with algy.
-
I see (on footy headlines) that the national teams who adidas supply are having extra wide fatboy stripes on the sleeves for the world cup so its likely there will be more blue on the sleeve than first thought, enough to keep the traditionalists happy maybe?
-
yet since 1982 we have had 11 seasons with non standard kits.
We won a trophy in one and were promoted twice in others.

I guess I can tolerate an all claret shirt, the Luke one grew on me, but is this an all claret kit? a definite no from me then!

Claret shirt, blue sleeves is a Villa shirt. No stripey or Hearts shit. It's really quite simple. Anyone supporting this a Quisling.

I'm not keen on the new thick Adidas stripes. However, they might help if next year's kit is all-claret with light blue stripes.

-
I agree with algy, SE, cdbearsfan and Crown Hill!
Me too. I really hate it when we dick around with the classic Villa look of claret body and blue sleeve. Ok, so it is about once a decade on average (except the 80s and 90s when we did it more than once) but it is still far too often and is more the sort of thing you expect from the likes of Southampton,
-
The club and Adidas will be disappointed with sales this season. Part of that is their own fault because the design's a bit rubbish but the reality is that they need to sell. So putting something completely different in there will give them bigger sales again because as with the Luke kit everybody just went out and bought it.
-
Why will they be disappointed with sales?
-
Because the demand isn't there. You can tell by the numbers you see, or rather don't see.
-
I loved that luke shirt. No issues with all claret think it looks class
-
Because the demand isn't there. You can tell by the numbers you see, or rather don't see.
So basically, we've no idea other than "don't see many of them" when actually, we don't know what they see as a good sales figure, let alone actually know how many have been sold.
Villa fans, sometimes, why do we do this and talk ourselves down?

In my experience, stuff that is never available on the web site, is available in abundance at the Bullring shop.

£80 for the shirt that hasn't changed since the promotion season. I used to buy a shirt every season until I got bored during Covid and sorted then out. I noticed since 2000 we've had pretty much the same shirt for all of it apart from 3 times, Only way to notice the difference was the sponsor and make. So I for one welcome this since it'll be the 1st shirt I've brought since the luke one.

I think last season and this season’s kits are very similar.
It was one of the things that was highlighted by guys on here.

It’s also got a lot to do with the fact that, at launch, there were huge fees, tariffs etc. for international buyers.
I get a new top every year, but I couldn’t justify £260 for a football shirt.

On the minus side, I dont like any of it and wouldn't buy it even if it was 'normal' pricing, on the positive, at least its kept Harv occupied for a morning.

Does anyone know if they stock the Terrace Icons collection down the Villa shop? They don’t have the sizes for the items I’m interested in the online shop.

Villa hawking posh merch.
There will be meltdown from some with a political agenda when they realise where the lady Villa are collaborating with on this was born.
Really like the baseball jacket, but at almost £1k I’d be frightened to wear it
So attractively priced I just bought two of them. Bargain…right?

If you're looking for something a bit niche for Christmas, with heavy Villa leanings, look no further than Galway United's home shirt for 2026 https://www.footballshirtculture.com/new-kits/galway-united-2026-oneills-home-kit.html

Nice shirt, I've always been curious how O'Neills get away with using three stripes over in Ireland - it's mad - must be some agreement with Adidas

Adidas losra court case a while back where they tried to copyright the three stripes.
So I think O'Neills can do what they want.
-
O'Neills can use the three stripes within the Republic of Ireland, but is restricted from doing so elsewhere due to Adidas's global trademark. I think they often use two stripes for UK teams.

The quality of the tops is excellent

Went into the club shop before the Arsenal game, with a view to picking up one of the away shirts (*not bought any of this season's gear).
Picked it up and put it straight back on the rail - What's with the material quality?! Both the black and white away kits feel really cheap in comparison to last seasons' shirts.... to the point where they feel like Far East knock-offs!
Think I'll stick with last season's! 🫤

"Aston Villa is pleased to announce a collaboration with global lifestyle brand, New Era."
https://www.avfc.co.uk/news/2025/december/15/retail-aston-villa-and-new-era-announce-exclusive-headwear-collaboration/
Probably a good thing and hopefully makes a (minor) difference to new SCR rules. New Era are pretty well regarded in the states and include many "super league" clubs amongst their roster.
-
Thought to myself "I wonder what a global lifestyle brand does". Clicked on the link. Oh, they make hats.
-
Yeah but they make good hats. That fit, and are comfortable.
I look forward to it!
-
I've looked and they appear not to be selling half of what they advertised.
-
Would be great with just the lion or the AV logo.
Don't like the club crest with New Era. Doesn't look right.

I agree. I don’t like the club crest with anything. Without going over old ground, it’s a graphic design catastrophe. Yes, just the lion would be better.

The advert has one, the shop doesn't. It also has a stand alone old round badge, and a standalone lion from that badge.

They seem to release these things in batches. They did the same with the terrace icons collab with Adidas when the article had lots of stuff and the shop only had some of them the 1st month.

I’ve still got the original 25th anniversary version of the first cap. Probably quite a few of us have.
19 years and a bit faded, but I’ll never get rid of it.
-
I ordered one of the 9Forty ones……arrived yesterday and going back today.
It’s fecking huge. And if you adjust it so it fits your head, the top of the cap is like Mount Everest it stands so tall.

I’d say this is more inspired by the Luke kit.

I don’t understand how say Arsenal don’t need to change to a stupid non-traditional kit every so often yet we do. Or stripey teams, or basically any team except for tin pot ones like West Ham.
They can fuck off with their Hearts shirts.
-
Why on earth Adidas starting using the crap 3 stripes slanted logo instead of the Trefoil on merchandise baffles me to this day. It was the Rolls Royce of logo's, and looked good on everything they did. If it ain't broke don't fix it scenario.
-
Still hoping by this is all rumour and we end up with a proper Villa shirt of claret shirt and sky blue sleeves.
If they really have to do something different put some sky blue rings under the collar.
I remember graham Taylor saying he had more letters about the kit than anything else when we finally returned to a proper Villa shirt in 89!

Just do a simple kit and stop with the 'inspired by' guff. We were utter shit in 1969.

We must have had about five non traditional kits since 1993. That is too many and it's one of the most small time things we do.
I hate the striped kits we have had and I hate the Hearts kits we have had. Just give us the classic Aston Vlla claret body blue sleeve.

It’s the Tommy Docherty monstrosity isn’t it? An era where tradition went out the window and loads of clubs like Leeds, Cov, Palace picked silly kits. Ours had claret shorts as welll and was v unpopular with the supporters.

I don’t think they did. Those years are also covered by the traditional kit so I imagine that was a change shirt. Not sure why included there

It tells you in the notes.
"There is a puzzling reference in the Birmingham Gazette of 30 September 1901 (researched by Lee Gauntlett) that states Villa were wearing red jerseys "to deflect the glare of the sun." The match was against Small Heath in the Birmingham Cup but John Lerwill has confirmed that Villa did indeed wear red tops in some League matches between 1901 and 1908 while Richard Essen has found press reports that confirm they were worn untill 1911. Indeed, William McGregor frequently referred to this in his fran moss aston villa 1914-15newspaper column and expressed concern that Villa might drop their iconic claret/blue tops. It transpires that these were lightweight alternatives to the usual heavy woollen jerseys that became unbearable in hot weather. In October 2021 photographs were found by Jon Farrelly that not only confirmed these alternative tops were worn in October 1901 but also that they had short sleeves."

Via
https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/premier-league-gambling-sponsorship-rules-33946122.amp
Which a year ago said we were failing to do so. Anybody tried this out of late?
Edit: have messaged villa support on Twitter. Don’t hold your breath.
Me neither. I'd be interested in the response. I see the Code sets out a complaint procedure.
I had a look at Everton's shop, and sure enough they offer the adult shirt sans shit sponsor.
Twitter support directed me to supporters@avfc.co.uk which is overseen by
“Matthew Dainty as our Supporter Liaison Officer and Anthony Richards as our Assistant Supporter Liaison Officer.”
A couple of emails / 10 days later:
We have had an update from our retail team.
While we can’t confirm an exact date just yet, we expect these to be available within the next 2–3 weeks. We’ll get back to you as soon as the retail team provides a further update.
Thank you for your patience and continued support.
I just spoke to the Club shop and they confirmed they have sponsorless shirts in stock, I think they’re selling for £42.50, for example the large I’m after I think, they have Home, long sleeve away and goalkeeper

Pretty good service from the online shop, ordered a couple of hats 2 o'clock yesterday, Sunday and they arrived this morning at 10. Brilliant at the busiest time of the year. Hats are pretty shite mind, not as much elastic in them as other Adidas ones I have so not a tight enough fit to the head.

I have that one too - order smaller than usual, the sizes are fucking cavernous on those.

Yeah I usually take an XL but the L is perfect fit (tested sizes down at VP and gf ordered via adidas for 10% off).

The curse of the black kit struck again.

That kit belongs under the sarcophagus at Chernobyl.

The curse of the black kit struck again.
A very large number of posts from Villa fans on X agreed with that sentiment.
-
Looking through the aways we have left, I don’t think we need to wear it again.
Palace - 3rd kit
Spurs (FA Cup) - home
Newcastle - home
Bournemouth- 3rd
Wolves - home/3rd
Man U - 3rd (purple shorts)
Forrest - 3rd (purple shorts)
Fulham - home
Burnley - 3rd
Man City - home

https://www.footyheadlines.com/2026/01/aston-villa-26-27-home-away-third-kits.html
Away looks promising.
The other two look shit.
-
Not keen on any of them (for differing reasons).
-
Home shirt is an abomination.
-
Second and third are fine. Not sure what the first one is but it isn't a Villa home shirt.
-
Home looks cack, black is decent, white would be better without the pattern.
-
Now, I usually like the all Claret tops, but I’m not struck on that one, although I do like the badge.
The Black and the White ones are pretty good
-
I love that black one, ticks pretty much every box for me, and the standalone lion looks great.
-
Hope they sort out the size of the badge on the new kits.
XS is the same size as the 13-14 kids version but with a much bigger badge / Adidas logo which looks out of scale with the kit.
Wouldn’t be an issue if we didn’t have a gambling sponsor.
Weirdly they woman’s kit has the same size badge as the kids - should have just used the same size on the XS and maybe S sizes.
-
Second and third are fine. Not sure what the first one is but it isn't a Villa home shirt.
Correct. We could win the treble in that and I still wouldn't buy it. It is not an Aston Villa kit and the original it is based on was never liked.
Marketing people- have they a clue?
-
The black one I would buy and I almost never buy kits
-
Second and third are fine. Not sure what the first one is but it isn't a Villa home shirt.
The hint of sky blue but mostly claret & white makes me think it’s probably the new Stenhousemuir shirt.
-
I thought the Luke kit was ok, I even like the Henson kits, so I don’t mind a change from tradition, however I don’t like that home kit. Hopefully it’s nothing like that.
-
Just get the blue right! The last 2 or 3 are a washed-out blue compared to the old rich blue that set off the claret so well.
-
So forever the claret wasn’t right. Seems that’s fixed. Now the blue isn’t correct?
-
That home kit is the sort of horrendous non-conforming shite West Ham get relegated in.

Blue sleeves and its fine and different from the last two seasons.
-
The home kit is horrible, football shirts should not have collars or buttons. First thought on seeing it was Fred Turnbull in Tommy Docs team
-
Shirts with collars are great

I like the home and black kit (although it looks more yellow than gold in these pics) the other one is horrid

What home kit?

No.
-
Claret - I didn't know West Ham had moved to Adidas.
Black - Yes
White - Meh
-
Aren’t we due a new crest design?
-
Light blue sleeves you *******.
-
Light blue sleeves you *******.
Correct.
-
Claret - I don't like the detail on the collar.
Black - Not bad but would prefer if the trefoil and lion were light blue rather than yellow.
White - Not white again, and I don't like the logo/crest in the middle.
-
The home one looks like a tennis shirt. So, wrong colours and wrong sport, but apart from that it's hideous.
-
Black shirt - I like it. Looks like what I imagine a black kit ought to look like.
White shirt - boring. Can live with it.
Monstrosity - No.
-
Not sure I would call the white shirt boring. These were posted a while ago, they each had an accuracy percentage (however they calculate that) and the home shirt had 90% and the white had 75%. I suspect they know they'll be some swirls but don't exactly know in what way. I think the black was 90% as well.
-
No keen on the central badge on the white. I think the other two look great.
-
Love the first two the third yuck

Love the first two
We can never be friends.

They all look shit.
Don't see much wrong with the black one?

Don't see much wrong with the black one?
It's identical to Man Utd's third kit for one
-
Well it's very similar but not identical. I'm sure most shirts look like some other shirt at some point.

We had a central badge around the time we won the league/European cup I think.

That's a thing of beauty. Wouldn't mind buying one of those.

Oh wow, I thought you couldn’t beat the Adidas original blue tracky top with ckaret stripes that came out last year. That’s stunning.
-
"The Adidas Aston Villa 2026 originals collection comes in vintage colors inspired by the club's traditional claret and blue colors. The jacket features a rich chocolate brown base paired with sky blue accents on the collar, cuffs, and signature three-stripes running down the sleeves."
Chocolate brown me bollix!
-
Stick a star somewhere and that is the badge we should have had. Two tone and none of this yellow on blue nonsense.
-
^^ No star for me.
-
Ok, deal

Brown? Really?

Matching trefoil TShirt would be nice too .

Brown? Really?
I might be wrong on this but I think when William McGregor (or the Villa committee) put in an order for our first proper kits, our colours were described as "chocolate" and blue. Possibly a nod to that chapter of our history?
-
We won our first FA Cup in blue/brown stripes.

That's my understanding too. Aside from that, chocolate brown and light blue is a pleasing colour combination.

It's a nod to our batch eating fans

That's beyond dreadful, and not because it doesn't have blue sleeves. The colours, collar, trim, and thick stripes on it are all wrong.
-
Apart from the wrong claret, wrong blue, wrong sleeves, shit stripes and shit collar I really like it.
-
As a casual top it’s not too bad.
Colours can look different on a screen so not overly concerned with those
-
It’s probably better when a player models vs on a table it but it’s a little too Burnley for me. I don’t hate it. I certainly don’t love it.
-

Good point, that 70s Coventry away kit probably looked terrible until Ian Wallace modelled it.
-
Ian Wallace does very little to market that kit positively. Mind you, not sure anyone could.
-
That's an absolute disgrace.
-
That's an absolute disgrace.
I don't think TV's comment was meant as a jibe at ginger haired, or Scots people in general. More that Ian Wallace's lack of height may not have shown the Coventry kit in its best light.

Agreed. Thank you BV. My apologies to all Irish and Scottish brothers and sisters who might misinterpreted my comment. I’m sure a select few of you could model a brown kit well. Not many granted. Certainly not Alan Brazil or John Wark.
-
My God, that can't possibly be authentic, purely on the basis that nobody in high places at the club can possibly be that fucking stupid.

-
The label on that shirt says Climacool which is what they use on tennis etc gear. The football shirts use AEROREADY for fans and HEAT.RDY for player-issue or the pro kits.
-
Lots of the 2026 national tops have Climacool now.
https://www.adidas.co.uk/climacool
-
Oh! No!
-
I'm in the minority I know, but I'm not averse to a change every few years. Must be difficult to keep trying to come up with new variations of the same thing every single year. In fact, it seems to me that more people are still wearing last season's home shirt to games than usual, because the change in design is so minimal it doesn't justify the outlay.

Arsenal manage to not fuck about with their kit too much:
https://www.historicalkits.co.uk/Arsenal/Arsenal.htm
I reckon that's 2 kits in the last 60 years that haven't been red body - white sleeves. One was an anniversary kit, and the other had white top of arm - red underneath, so wasn't *too* far off
-
Yep, Arsenal don't piss about with a classic design.
I'm not speaking to Des, so can someone tell him he's going on The List, thanks.

That's fine. Do what you like with the away kit. Vomit and diamond stripes, for all I care.

So I just had a look at our version , I quite like the first ever top
But what happened between 1900-1911 ?

I simply refuse to believe that monstrosity is legit.

You watch us go and win the treble in a really shit kit that resembles bloody Burnley!

It says in the notes.
"There is a puzzling reference in the Birmingham Gazette of 30 September 1901 (researched by Lee Gauntlett) that states Villa were wearing red jerseys "to deflect the glare of the sun." The match was against Small Heath in the Birmingham Cup but John Lerwill has confirmed that Villa did indeed wear red tops in some League matches between 1901 and 1908 while Richard Essen has found press reports that confirm they were worn untill 1911. Indeed, William McGregor frequently referred to this in his newspaper column and expressed concern that Villa might drop their iconic claret/blue tops. It transpires that these were lightweight alternatives to the usual heavy woollen jerseys that became unbearable in hot weather. In October 2021 photographs were found by Jon Farrelly that not only confirmed these alternative tops were worn in October 1901 but also that they had short sleeves."[/i[

November 1886 - 1888, I didn’t realise that we played in a shirt with the city’s coat of arms as the badge.

The Battle of Umboto Gorge memorial kit.

The first 15 years or so of kits reminds me of the Grand National pullouts you get in the papers.
1885-86 looks a lot like Roma. Any connection there?

From 1900-11, it was a rum red.

They are really very nice items.

I’m going to in the queue for one of those tracky tops !!!
-
Can't see any prices for the new range. I do like the long sleeved top, probably set me back the best part of £80-100 going on the last launch ?
-
Bring back the caps!

All that stuff has been out before, but with the current badge and the 3 lines logo.

Really nice.

That stuff had a Health & Safety tax though. You are very unlikely to get run over wearing any of that gubbins !
-
Nice clothing range - but I am to old to wear them
-
I never buy any of this stuff, mostly because it sorts a Christmas list out fairly easy, but my dad would love that tracksuit top. Any idea on how tough they are to get online day of release?
-

My thoughts exactly.
Not sure CD would like it, but it has got a round badge to dangle the carrot, so to speak ;)

Unak rocking the new Adidas trackie top in his presser.
-
The long sleeved top & track bottoms are currently on Adidas site £70 & £80 respectively
-
Am I being picky , but the neck on the long sleeve top is to big/baggy ?
-
Mental that the trackie bottoms are more expensive than the jumper.
-
Just checked and the long sleeve crew in large has already sold out!
-
They never seem to sell anything in corduroy.

Not picky at all. That's put me right off, I was going to get one, but not with a neck like that. It looks more like 'lounge' wear.

Nonsense, Paul Smith has been selling a range of corduroy trousers for the past two seasons. https://www.paulsmith.com/eu/mens/trousers/corduroy-trousers
I'm sure you'd look rather dashing in a pair of rust-coloured strides.

The colour is described as Brown rather than Claret on the VillaStore. Think it might need the eye test in real life before purchase.
Maybe Randy did have the last laugh after all.

I grabbed mine from the shop this morning on my way in to work. Definitely an 'off' shade of claret to my eyes. Manager say's it looks like 'Madras brown', take from that what you will...

Like that is it! Where was one of Neil Taylor wearing a red dragon inspired top, with a love spoon instead of a lion on the crest yesterday?
Games gone.
In other news, my Adidas Track top came today, love it. Very 70's retro.
-
Had a gander in the club shop today. They had sold out of the 'Irish' shirts but plenty of the jumpers and tracksuits.
The 'brown' Adidas Originals stuff is really nice quality but it is brown, I nearly bought the sweatshirt but its a strange kind of fit, very wide at the neck and the kind of baggy style more suited to the youthful rather than those of a discerning middle age. So I didn't and will put the money toward tinned food for the forthcoming armageddon and dystopian post-nuclear winter.
-
But how will you stay warm?
-
With any of this stuff, if you're local but they don't have it online, try the bullring store. I wanted a specific t-shirt (the dna one) for ages, never in stock online, went to the bull ring store, hundreds of them. Same happened with that red icons collection top, too.

The Adidas Aston Villa 26-27 pre-match shirt introduces an incredibly wild and striking aesthetic. The shirt features a black base completely covered in a distorted, psychedelic all-over graphic. Upon closer inspection, you can see that the pattern is actually made up of warped, stretched-out versions of the rampant lion from the club's crest.

One for the kids .

It looks a bit like in the series of "Ideal" when the main character starts going out with an American fashion designer who keeps wanting to make clothes inspired by blood or vomit.
-
That is shit.

It's a nod to the stretched-out nature of our squad due to injuries, and the warped FFP regulations that restrict us from investing further. It's nice to see that Adidas have put some thought into the shirt design.

It would look far better if the lion didn't look like it had been blown apart.

How accurate was this site in the past about the scoop on our shirts for the following season?
-
Apart from the claret looking shit, the blue looking shit and the collar looking shit I like it.
-
Considering they’ve got the claret nailed on in recent years, I don’t think this is legit.

It’ll look better when we sign the sponsorship deal with Anusol.

100%
I read that site all the time and I can't remember the last time they got something wrong.
It has happened, but it is exceptionally rare.
I think the England kit in 2018 they got wrong.
-
If it was a different style collar, V or round, it wouldn’t look too bad.
Difficult to judge colour on a screen.
Not a big fan, though.
-
I like it. I think it will sell well after the last two looking almost identical.
-
I never thought I would have to add Percy to The List.
A sad day in H&V history.
-
Just sort the collar out please , a nice big collar !
-
I'm not a fan of it, but at least the badge looks decent for a change.
-
Obviously, as a grown man, I won’t be wearing one. My kids will love it though
-
No.
-
Any Villa shirt that doesn't have claret body and blue sleeves is an abomination, and undermines the idea that there is a distinct identity that belongs to us, or frankly that we stand for anything.
-
Absolute shocker, one of the worst ever.
Please god no.
-
I like it. I think it will sell well after the last two looking almost identical.
Yeah I think it looks quite smart.

Should be on some kind of H&V register.
It is nice. For a Galway United kit. However, as we aren’t Galway United it’s an abomination and quite frankly ranks alongside pasta pizza as one of the worst things the Germans have ever put their names to

Meh, I don't hate it, but like others, it just isn't 'Villa' enough for me.
Makes little difference to me, though, as the last kit I bought was the first Acorns one and I intend to keep it that way.

Not sure, the last time I had it was in White's Hotel in Wexford many moons ago. Toblerone cheesecake is my dessert of choice, if eating out.

I saw a more traditional one mooted the other day. Looked quite credible.
-
Although not a traditional villa shirt design it's quite smart apart from that postage stamp thing at the throat area. Surely they can do something better than that? And the collar looks like cheap Fred Perry copy.

Still looks like a Wham shirt (or perhaps Burnley, for those viewers watching in B&W).
-
This is a tough one because I like most of it. change the sleeves to blue and a claret hem and then do something about the silly little rectangle and I think it'd be a bit of a classic with the more muted palette, especially if they stick with the theme and have the name and number in the same blue so it's almost entirely the 2 colours (ignoring the sleeve badges).
Do the same (but different colours obviously) for the away and then go a bit wacky with the 3rd strip and I'd be really happy with the options for next year.
-
Looks more like a casual top than a kit. I don't mind it though.
-
I'm not angry, just disappointed.

Regardless of which fucking sponsor is, that shirt looks like a cross between some shite West Ham would wear, and some sort of hideous Hackett polo shirt you'd see a boozed up solicitor in a rugby club bar wearing.
Absolutely NO, NO and fucking thrice NO to that, and I can not believe any of you are making excuses for it.
Shame on you.

Change sleeves to blue with claret hem... So the exact same as this years just with no gold piping.
Being Villas kit designer is the easiest job in the world literally paid a fortune for doing absolutely nothing and people will pay £80+ each year for what is effectively the same shirt.
-
Why, oh why do we seemingly have this habit once a decade of making a dogs dinner of a 'non traditional' Villa kit.
It really sickens me everytime we bring one of these monstrosities out whether it's 99/00, 01/02 or 2018/0.
Claret body and blue sleeve is an Aston Villa top do whatever the fk you want with the away kit.
-
An occasional shake-up is fine. It's about fashion and profit as much as tradition these days.

Good God alive, who designs that shit?
It's like we have Adidas doing the match day and squad stuff, and some backstreet outfit from the Rag Market doing the 'casual' stuff.
Like an even worse Ciro Citterio.

I won't be buying on the basis that wearing it seems to give you a face like a slapped arse.

My first Villa team from 1967/68 season and because of that my favourite Villa kit. What has been important is that the kit over the last couple of years has kept the right claret and blue.

So the Mancs and Arsenal both with Adidas have their kits out for sale now !
When is ours out ... could have sold a few for the final and maybe the team could have worn it tonight.
Any of you good people know?

No idea but we did the away kit early last season and it became jinxed. We still haven't announced next seasons shirt sponsor either.

Don't know about the new kit, but for once the club might have done well holding back on any new stuff. Just tried to go down to the club shop to buy the shirt for Wednesday and its absolutely heaving - massive queue all the way across the car park. I just turned around and came back home.
The club could do well to try to arrange some sort of pop up shop at the airport for next week.

Funny enough Pat . I bought some Villa stuff at the JD sports shop at the airport when I went Poland a few weeks ago and was resonable priced.

Just come back from the Villa store outside the ground, massive queue from 9am and the store opened at 9.30am allowing letting in 20 at a time.
Picked up a shirt (only 1 per person not available online), only 2 people on the printing so that was more than an hour wait.
All the authentic ones sold out to the first 50 people (wasn’t getting that one) - looked at the label -£100.
In the car on the way thinking they better bleedin win!

Queuing outside the Bullring shop this morning to get myself and my son a top only to get told at the till I could only purchase 1 top. Seems a bit ridiculous to me I know rules are rules but I couldn't really drag him out of work. Was told I could join the back of the queue and try again.

Drove through Kingstanding circle yesterday and the guy and his little stand was there selling flags, scarves etc - not seen him since play off final*
*Although we have hardly had any need for it :-\

He started last Saturday and has been there every couple of days since then.

I see Man Utd are wearing next season's shirt. It's as horrible as ours promises to be. I also came across Newcastle's. My God. I think someone at Adidas was working their notice.

Not a fan of the fat Adidas stripes.

To be fair, the huge solid silver chain sets the top off nicely. It makes it ‘ping’ as they say.
I wonder if they come as a set ?

You couldn’t be more wrong about anything in your life. Our colours are Claret, not a lighter shade of claret or burgundy or any of the shades of claret we’ve had over the last 30 or 40 years. If you’re unsure what claret really looks like go and look at a bottle of Bordeaux wine. The colours are class.

Agreed, Adidas have finally got our blood-type correct unlike most previous sporting manufacturers.

Yeah, you've had a nightmare Deano's Mullet.

I thought I was the only one who loved those kits. Thinking back now, it was strange not having our badge, but as a ten year old completely obsessed with Villa, I thought they were cool. The claret, blue and yellow tracksuit top from that season was also worn to death.

Amongst my least favourite Villa shirts, but I'm generally not a fan of Hummel kits.
-
You're crazy, Hummel make the best kits.
-
Looking at it, the colours are all wrong, but it is still the kit. My first ever Villa shirt, which I got after much pleading for my 10th birthday.
My dad was too tight to buy me the shorts, but my cousin stepped in and gave me the money for them. My dad later contributed by turning them bloody pink in the wash.
I remember being chased off the golf course wearing it, and having to run through brambles and praying I didn't ruin it. And I lost the badge during kick-about in an Everton fan's back garden in the dark, and never got it back.
So that kit will always mean a lot to me.
-
Always liked the home kit, but think that away kit is now my favourite one.

That home shirt was a fucking disgrace.

I don't know what even children see in it.
Replying on behalf of children:
It's translucent, it wobbles, it is available in a rainbow of colours, and it's edible.
It doesn't matter that it has no taste and a repellent texture.

It tastes fine if you don't actually add water and just eat it raw.

I didn't like it when I were a child. I also hated trifle.

How come they get sleeves?!
This is what I can’t get my head around. Arsenal basically always have red body, white sleeves. Why are we not allowed to just stick with claret body, blue sleeves?
Not bothered if they want to change the shade of claret, or blue for that matter. They can fuck about as much as they like within the parameters of claret body, blue sleeves. I just don’t get why they can’t stick to that.
To be honest I’d have anyone who come up with one of those Hearts shirts or the stripey ones to be shot at dawn. That’s what happening when the revolution comes.

They could have us looking like Bowie in the Ashes to Ashes video for all I care, as long as there's no fucking drums or an 'Ultrss' section at Villa Park.
I’m with you all the way on that Lee. If we are to have a Bowie Villa kit maybe something from the Ziggy Stardust period but with the proper Claret which is now set in stone.

The blue square in the middle of the collar ruins it.
Would be OK otherwise.
Still a million miles better than Macron, Under Armour, Kappa, Luke and Castore.

Thanks for the important question, I forgot to give my take on it. Really not a fan at all. I love custard and cream (naturally) so would always accept a trifle offer but I never ate the jelly. Thankfully you can get them without jelly now. And people say it was better 'back in the day', ay?

I'm not keen on the new thicker Adidas stripes. Totally unnecessary, like the oversized polo player on Ralph Lauren polo shirts.

I thought the point of the oversized polo player was to make twats more easily identifiable?

There's a nose in Yardley I know who sells loads of snide sportswear and designer gear. He always has the new shirts (obviously copies) a week or so before release pics are available.

Can't argue with that, but an all-white logo is fine on our claret and blue shirts.
-
The black does look nice though.
-
Away and third are nice, home, not so much.
-
The Villa badge and adidas logo placement are all manner of wrong on the third kit posted above. Obviously they’re just mockups so hopefully inaccurate.
The neck collar on the black kit is also a total clusterf**k.
The home kit is a generic polo casual wear polo shirt not a Villa kit. It could look smart but it’s very disappointing.
-
IF those our kits for next season then the home top will probably be the worst home Villa shirt of all time. The away top is lovely mind!

Love the lion on the black kit, and the sponsor says "serious club".
Love it.

Away kit there is lovely. Like the black 3rd kit too. Not keen on the home though.
Still better than the Lerner years when we kept having check patterns on the kits.

I don't get the fuss over the purity of the home kit, but I don't like pale blue away kits at all.
In my lifetime, the prevailing Villa shirt has been claret body and blue sleeves: it's what defined us in my formative years, and the 1969 all-claret shirt was a nasty deviation.

I've had a look at their website and as per their drivers, Audi are giving no indication.

Assuming the mockup of 3 together is correct...
I don't like the home kit but more for the silly neckline than the sleeves, the latter whilst unacceptable for many, is a design choice that I can understand from a 'mix it up a little' stance. The neckline is just ugly.
Like LeeB I have more problems with the 3rd kit which I really dislike.
However that away kit has everything you'd want for it to become an absolute classic, if it is that it will be one of my favourite VVilla kits for a very long time. Proper Adidas badge, standalone lion, excellent sponsor, interesting main colour but with plenty of things to make it a villa shirt mixed in, what's not to like about it?

I only ever buy the kit for my kids to wear. They’d look fooking brilliant wandering down Beckenham high street, one in claret, one in blue and one in black.
I suspect the internet is getting our hopes up with the Audi thing but , if not, you can put me on the list twice. Love them.

I think the rings logo looks classy. I’ve never heard of most of our sponsors over the last decade or so. I can’t even remember some of them.
-
Audi would be way better than the shit gambling guff we've had for years. Although so would most sponsors.
-
I'd rather we didn't sully our shirt with any company's name. But since that's part and parcel of the game, I don't really give a shit who gives us money as long as they're not morally reprehensible (like a gambling company).
That said, the Audi rings on it look less obnoxious than most names we've had. Acorns was alright, and I thought Cows was funny.

If we are pearl-clutching about gambling, cars are likely to do far more damage to the planet.
-
Not liking gambling as a sponsor is hardly pearl-clutching. And I say that as someone that used to make a decent side sum from gambling. I'd be perfectly happy for gambling advertising to go the same way that tobacco advertising went and even though I smoked I was happy to see that go.
-
If we are pearl-clutching about gambling, cars are likely to do far more damage to the planet.
Yeah, but I don't know anyone who lost the housekeeping money because a company exploited his addiction to cars.
-
I’m not really fussed. Everything needs to be managed appropriately and some people are challenged whatever their particular weakness. Alcohol is just as damaging as smoking but that gets promoted all over the place across sports. I don’t think sticking Betano on a shirt makes most people suddenly go out and gamble any more than Carlsberg or Ansells makes most grab a pint immediately. Unfortunately many people have genuine difficulties and vulnerabilities whatever the vice and they need help.
-
I saw and heard of so many that were fucking up their lives when I was gambling. I'd get a taxi from where I was and it was always the same taxi firm from the establishments and the driver would ask how your night had been etc and then say someone earlier had cried all the way home as they'd done their rent/mortgage, bills etc and were fucked.

No doubt it is incredibly sad. But you could apply that to loads of things too that have got the better of people with an inability to control their vices. And the hypocrisy is sports embraces gambling everywhere but it’s an issue as a shirt sponsor. I’m happy us not having one, let’s be clear, but the alternatives, whoever they are outside of charities, have their darker sides.
-
No corporate sponsor is perfect, most don't have an entire business model based on addiction and losing money though. And as I said, i'd be happy for all gambling advertising to be banned.

Why are people excited about a sponsor?
Sponsors don’t bother me too much, but when you see West Ham with Boyle Sports it does look a bit Sunday league.

Lots of people have, literally, been killed by cars, though. Millions may die as a result of humanity's addiction to them.

Over 2m people in the UK are estimated to have gambling problems. I reckon the number of people addicted to spending all their money on cars is a tad lower.

14.5 million deaths is still bad.

Difference is vehicles are a necessity, gambling isn't. We can argue if that's good or bad but they are a necessity. Food production, technology and many other basic things are negatively impacting the enviroment but they are in no way comparable to gambling though.
-
They're a necessity because of a century of under-investment in alternative forms of transport. And people can still drive electric cars. I don't see why we should be angry about promoting one set of deaths but not bothered about promoting another. And I don't see why people are giddy with excitement about promoting a German multinational.

I love this forum, and more importantly the people who post here. I truly do :)

I don't disagree whatsoever. However, there's only a very small number of companies that sponsor football clubs AND don't have any awkward moral issues around them. I just think gambling has a far more obvious link to destroying people's lives. I'd also rather we didn't advertise alcohol for exactly the same reason, or indeed anything along those lines. I don't see as it's sensible to do some kind of prohibition type stuff on that, it'd just drive people to dealing with criminals who necessarily will be even harder to ensure we put some kind of harm reduction in place. But we can stop normalising it.
Cars ... yeah, as I'd said I don't disagree at all. I don't own a car, I've never owned a car, I never intend to own a car. I think there's absolutely no need for 99% of the population to require their own personal transport. However, I think we should deal with individual problems rather than getting caught up in the whataboutery of different industries and their detrimental effect on the world as a whole. :)

Amen brother, If we could normalise this attitude towards cars I think you'd solve a huge number of problems in the UK very quickly but getting people to put down the car keys is going to be very difficult.
-
You've never tried to use public transport in North Warwickshire then?!? "Rare" and "Expensive" are the two words that come to mind! If only all of the UK was like Greater London?
-
I've never had a car, i've still left an horrendous footprint on the planet. As has everyone on here. We can, in off topic, debate about how crap it is that as a society we are so reliant on cars and other transport but in a lot of cases we have little choice.
Tomorrow as an exmple, I am going to a funeral. I've booked a taxi to get to the train station in town as I can't be doing with the bus before it, then a train, then i'll be picked up and go to someone's house. Then we'll drive to the crem, then drive to the wake, then i'll be dropped back at the station, train back and then most likely a taxi home for the same reason as getting one into town. That's all pretty crap for the enviroment but for me it's a necessity as the person was very important to me.
Cars, trains, planes, boats, buses etc are a necessary evil. Gambling as a whole is just evil. And I say that as someone that would have been classed as a fairly 'successful' gambler as I was well in profit.

I agree that gambling is far more of a problem than cars but I do think this is probably worth an Off Topic thread because cars are a solution to a problem that exists largely because of cars.

I'll be honest, I just wanted to argue about something to take my mind off the football. It didn't work. ☹️

U2 did some decent songs.

Going back to the shirts: I hope the design is just some dullard's invention. That home shirt is the sort of thing a pub team buys when it's just starting out.
There are infinite combinations involving a claret shirt with blue sleeves, it's not rocket science and anything else can fuck off. I guess the idea would be to make the "iconic three stripes™" stand out and they can fuck off, too.
I don't mind the other two. Or the two-colour badge.

All it needed to be was the claret and blue version of the Arsenal template…pretty much everyone would have been happy with that.
