Title: Which is/was the better Away Kit?
Post by: Legion on July 19, 2010, 09:15:59 PM: Mazrim v Legion

Maz prefers this coming seasons. I prefer the one from the last.

How about you?

Post by: markus209 on July 19, 2010, 09:22:14 PM: Last season's for me, mainly because it had acorns, and this season's is/seems to be a rip off of a previous kit made by nike.

Last season's was crap.

Post by: citizenDJ on July 19, 2010, 09:28:24 PM: Sorry Maz, but it's the white Acorns kit for me. Just a bit more.......classy.
Title: Which is/was the better Away Kit?
Post by: TheSandman on July 19, 2010, 09:28:53 PM: Last seasons.

If it was black like the one we had as third kit then yes but I really don't like checks on football shirts.

It's odd for someone who tends to wear either checked shirts or football shirts but I'm an odd kind of guy.

Title: Which is/was the better Away Kit?
Post by: Mazrim on July 19, 2010, 09:34:16 PM: Its black, it rocks and it says "drink XXXX like a pro" on the front.

Title: Which is/was the better Away Kit?
Post by: curiousorange on July 19, 2010, 09:51:26 PM: I've yet to see the black one in the flesh and I do like it, but the white Acorns kit had a bit of inspiration and was pretty retro, which always gets my vote.
Title: Which is/was the better Away Kit?
Post by: Des Little on July 19, 2010, 09:59:29 PM: This year's wins all ends up. Last year's was as boring as most of the home games.
Title: Which is/was the better Away Kit?
Post by: Guy M on July 19, 2010, 10:18:44 PM: I prefer this season's kit but last season's sponsor.

Don't give a stuff about England so wasn't at all keen on anything that was a nod to that shower of shite.
Title: Which is/was the better Away Kit?
Post by: Villan For Life on July 19, 2010, 10:31:18 PM: The Black one. A white Villa shirt with no claret and blue trim is just wrong.
Title: Which is/was the better Away Kit?
Post by: Dave Cooper please on July 19, 2010, 10:47:03 PM: I hate that FXPro logo, especially with that utterly crap "trade forex like a pro" bollocks, what the fuck does that actually mean anyway?
But I have to say that the black kit is very nice despite that, so I'm with Maz.
Title: Which is/was the better Away Kit?
Post by: pauliewalnuts on July 19, 2010, 10:57:28 PM: I like the black one.
Title: Which is/was the better Away Kit?
Post by: Toronto Villa on July 19, 2010, 11:22:55 PM: Like the white more than the black as I'm more of a traditionalist. I think colours like black are good as a third option. That said, this kit is quite nice. Quite fancy going back to yellow at some point.
Title: Which is/was the better Away Kit?
Post by: pauliewalnuts on July 19, 2010, 11:23:30 PM: Having just seen the Peterborough goals, the home one is fucking horrible, mind.
Title: Which is/was the better Away Kit?
Post by: Dave on July 19, 2010, 11:34:22 PM: Last season's was definitely a polycotton football shirt with Aston Villa written on it.

This season's is definitely a polycotton football shirt with Aston Villa written on it.

That's more or less the sum of my feelings on the matter.

still, it's nice to know we've got our priorities right on that one. I presume there was no room on the inside of the seam at the back.
Title: Which is/was the better Away Kit?
Post by: Dazvillain on July 19, 2010, 11:47:51 PM: White or yellow for me....favourites from that selection would be ;
70/74 Yellow with blue collar
85/87 Yellow "Mita" with claret/blue shoulders
82 White.claret pin stripe Euro winners
99/00 White "LDV" with diagonal claret/blue stripe
07/08 White "32 Red" with blue pin stripe
And last years white away !!

Having said all that black is supposed to be kinder to the bigger figure, so i should like this years !

Post by: TaxDodger on July 19, 2010, 11:48:38 PM: This seasons for me. I like us in black. Even if the tag line under FXPro looks very silly.

Title: Which is/was the better Away Kit?
Post by: Leighton on July 20, 2010, 12:09:39 AM: The Black. Last season's was one of the most vile kit's we have ever had in my opinion. I think this seasons is pretty splendid.
Title: Which is/was the better Away Kit?
Post by: Goldie.7 on July 20, 2010, 12:25:21 AM: Black all the way.

I really liked the black 3rd kit that we wore once or twice a couple years ago too!

Did we ever actually wear it? I'm not sure that we did, unless you are referring to the one with the NTL sponsor.

Post by: Chipsticks on July 20, 2010, 05:47:51 AM: Black for me.

Sorry Legion but last seasons looked too much like a Spurs kit.
Title: Which is/was the better Away Kit?
Post by: Deano's Mullet on July 20, 2010, 06:40:45 AM: I prefer last season's home kit.

I prefer this season's away kit.

The first Nike home top we wore in MON's second season (the 5-1 game) is still my favourite in recent years. In fact both home and away kits that season are still pretty much hard to beat.

We wore in once or twice in the Uefa Cup stages. I said a couple years not a decade...... NTL

I like cheques, especially those with my name on them.

Black for me.

Post by: Chris Harte on July 20, 2010, 08:21:38 AM: The white one.

Do you think the Holte could sing their preference at games next season - "the white kit, the black kit" in "left side, right side" style?

We had a Charcoal kit in 07/08.

We never wore it.

Post by: darren woolley on July 20, 2010, 10:08:24 AM: I like the black kit it looks really smart.
Title: Which is/was the better Away Kit?
Post by: Rich6by7 on July 20, 2010, 12:39:53 PM: It's a close-run thing for me, as one of my favourite Villa shirts ever was the black Diadora away from the 00-01 season. But I've plumped for last season's white shirt (and, according to this website (http://www.historicalkits.co.uk/Aston_Villa/Aston_Villa-change-kits.html), this season's third choice colours as well) for the Acorns logo.

I may be persuaded to change my opinion if we can repeat our wins at Old Trafford and Anfield from last season in the new kit, though. And if we win at the Emirates as well, I'll gladly campaign to keep the design forever.
Title: Which is/was the better Away Kit?
Post by: PaulTheVillan on July 20, 2010, 12:56:33 PM: Would you pay £55 for the new away shirt?

That's how much it'll be.
Title: Which is/was the better Away Kit?
Post by: Mac on July 20, 2010, 01:10:05 PM: Clucking hell. No.

If you swapped the sponsors there would be a clear winner.
Title: Which is/was the better Away Kit?
Post by: TheBarneyArmy on July 20, 2010, 02:57:51 PM: Has to be the white acorns kit for me, its a far classier design than this one.
Title: Which is/was the better Away Kit?
Post by: mattjpa on July 20, 2010, 08:19:21 PM: Im with Maz on this one, the black kit is smart, last seasons white one was too boring.

My favourite of all time was the black, white and purple hummel mitre copiers kit from the 89-90 season. Shame the mitre letters fell off after about 10washes....
