http://shop.avfc.co.uk/shop/aston-villa-retro-1993-95-away-shirt/index.html
As part of our retro range this classic Aston Villa retro replica shirt from the 1993-94 and 1994-95 season has always sparked a healthy debate amongst supporters. With the distinctive green, black and red stripes along the body and sponsor Muller printed to the front this retro shirt has developed a cult status with fans.
Did you love it or hate it??
-
I had the green one and my brother had the home one.
I think they're probably the worst set of kits we've ever had.
-
I've still got both home and away. The material made it nice wear in the summer.
-
I've got the Home One (with Saunders on the back) and love it!
As for the green I remember loving it at the time and bigging it up to my PE teacher, but then changed my mind, but now I am back to loving it of course! 8)
-
I've got the home one. I don't think i've got that one.
I wish they'd bring the old stripey home kit out from first GT season (i think). I'd buy that.
-
Think I might buy this one just for the noveity value of it. Also, its another old shirt I could wear to a match without the worry of being lambasted for having a since departed player on the back ::)
-
We need the waistcoat back!!!
-
I'd forgotten what a remarkable combination of colours that shirt was.
-
Like the ultimate pizza! ;D
-
Wore it to Wembley in '94, and had the piss taken out of me by a bunch of Yanited fans....
-
Strangely this is the kit featured in Four Four Two kit clash this month too
-
Score Draw should sort something g out with the original manufacturer and get their logo on there. Some of their shirts look odd without it, including this.
-
I quite like it. Time heals.
But these T shirts are ace:

Apart from the "true classics" ('57, '77. Rotterdam) this has always been a favourite due to it's kitsch awfulness - like an ugly puppy you've just got to love it

Those are nice - I seldom wear any colours other than a micro badge but the first one is good
-
I've always liked that away kit, mainly because we wore it the day I decided Villa was the team for me (Arsenal away, Nov 1993- 2-1 to us; Bosnich penalty save and Townsend with the winner in the last minute). I picked up a too-large dilapidated one for much less than the club shop are asking on ebay a couple of years ago, mind.
-
It's cool I reckon.
-
I've still got mine in my old dears loft, I always thought it was one of our better away shirts.
-
It's back

Hate it, Hate it, HATE IT!!!!!!!

I had one of those, first villa shirt I ever got for myself, it got stolen from my balcony when we were on holiday in Turkey in the summer of 95. I remember thinking whoever stole it was an arsehole but at least they had good taste in football teams.
As someone else has said, it's great because it's so terribly kitsch.
-
Aesthetically I am not a fan, but the nostalgic in me loves this kit. Reminds me of happier times
-
Inspired by this one, I always thought...Fluminense
..though I prefer ours

-
Can you imagine the meeting where that was unveiled... "yes it's great, approved" I doubt that was the initial reaction.
-
Muller must still be paying us a little sponsor money to have their logo included.
-
They are probably one of our only sponsors still in business...

Terrible kit but very fond memories of the team that wore it.

I like it.
You bloody would, when are you joining Kingston Lions?
-
I loved that away kit. Two wins at Highbury, other wins I remember at Goodison and Forest. I remember we went to Barnsley in the FA Cup and won 2-0 in this kit with goals from Yorkie and Deano.

DWS - they still going?

Yeah one of the classic away results of that era. It a nice surprise for me that evening too as my brother had actually told me that we lost. Weather he was saying that to wind me up or because he didn't get the final score I don't know, but I love watching the highlights when this happens!

The lace neck Villa home shirt is easily my favourite though. Was a lovely shirt that.

Already mentioned how I disliked that away shirt.
As it's been mentioned, I have to say that I didn't like the lace neck home shirt.
Sorry :-[

We need the waistcoat back!!!
I remember going in the shop at the beginning of the following season and seeing a whole rack of those waistcoats on sale. Horrendous idea.
-
You know you're finally getting old when they release retro shirts first time around. Though that probably already appeals to most of you old codgers on here ;)
-
Love it
Still got it
It still fits
I still wear it to play 5 a side in..........
Can't see my Macron shirt lasting that long..........
-
My favourite was the dark blue AST computers one from about 96/97. Proper collars.
-
Love those! Are they available from the club shop?
They are online at least in the retro section here (http://shop.avfc.co.uk/fashion/men/retro-shirts-jackets/index.html?via=navflood)
I'm a sucker for that kind of image, whatever it's called - Soviet propaganda? I wonder why they don't sell them as prints.
-
Love that shirt, if you don't your saaad
-
DWS - they still going?
Very much... I sometimes wonder if there is Brummie in a senior position at Deutsche Bank with investment they are making in Brum. It was a very rubbish logo though.
-

No, they were a beautiful, beautiful thing. I can't believe I never bought one.
-

Now we're talking! The green is an odd cult thing, which is either brilliant or a disaster, where as that one is simple but delightful. Very underrated if its possible for a football shirt to be such a thing.

I've never seen or heard of them but they are so godawful, they're hilarious. Add to that, I like the touch of having Asics on the front pocket, simply terrible, I'd almost be tempted into buying one for an expensive joke.
Anyone remember those grungy looking cardigans with the classic Villa circular crest from about 3/4 years ago? Was anyone ever seen wearing one? Now that was another bad idea.
-
I always thought the 92-93 retro top didn't have the sponsor as its not on any of the the pictured shirts in the catalogue or online but it does actually say Mita Copiers will be printed on it before shirt is posted. Defo gonna buy one of them now as my original 2 - yes I had 2 - don't fit so good.
-
I have a shelf in my wardrobe full of old Villa shirts. I can't believe I used to wear a medium!
*pats belly
-
It was a bit of a departure at the time, but with the black shorts and green socks I think it worked OK.
I really like our current away kit, but would also like to see us back in yellow and blue as well.
-
I hadn't realised the 1983/84 away shirt was available again - I always picture Mark Walters scoring that great goal against Spartak in Moscow in that kit.
-

1995/96 and relegated to third shirt status for '96/'97. Remember being a bit crestfallen summer '96 when Match magazine had a poster of Alan Wright wearing the white shirt when I'd only finally successfully begged my parents to buy the navy one during Euro '96 and I knew it was doomed. Think we still wore it a few times that season, though.
The recent England away shirt was quite similar in design, navy body and sky blue collar. Very smart.
-
I still wear the reversible claret and blue/ green red wooly hat to games that was the last thing my nan bought me before she died.
It's a bit saggy now but I love it
-
Chuffing 'eck, have the club's commercial department decided to dump-out dodgy away shirts from the past all in one go? They're also selling this:
(http://d2hatremgvh27k.cloudfront.net/cms_media/images/380x450_fitbox-c13002305_h.jpg)
A classic is back! The Aston Villa Retro Away Shirt from season 83-84 is one of the more fashionable and stylish jerseys worn by the team. The 1983-84 season saw a solid Villa team defeat local rivals West Brom and Wolves at home in First Division and also take on Spartak Moscow and Portuguese side Vitória de Guimarães in the UEFA Cup.

It's like when record companies re-issued a band's entire back catalogue on CD.

I do like that one.

It looks like something you'd get for 99p out of a basket on the market.
-
I have the green red and black one but the limited edition league cup final version . Collectors item

many of modern kits feel that way too
-
I have a soft spot for the 83 away shirt, as we wore it when my dad took me to Old Trafford to see us beat them 2-1.
Anyone remember the all white one the following year?
-

I have that with Richardson on the back, think my home one from that year had the word yoghurt on underneath Muller, could also be collectable.
-
For me the worst kit was that yellow third kit we had in BFRs first season.
It had to bad as I bought it at the time and my sartorial taste has somewhat improved since then.

That's rare . My one just says Muller .
-
There is a version with Asics as the shirt sponsor too, worn on a pre season tour I think. Ultra rare.
-
That was my first Villa shirt.
Loved it!
-
Neither were great but the white and yellow '83 one is a lot better than the green, black and red one from '93. At least it is what I class as Villa away colours. I didn't like the black one from a few years back either. I am far happier when the away kit is white or predominantly white. I liked last years and like this years.
-

Back in the day, I did actually get the original out of a bargin basket in Sportsco in Sutton. It was a little bit more than 99p mind. I gave it as a present to an Italian exchange student who was staying with us and he was delighted to have a top of the club who'd been European Champions only a couple of seasons previously.
-
Did we wear that white and yellow beast the last but one time we won at Old Trafford thanks to Withey? If so, surprised it didn't get a mention in the sales-blurb underneath.

Yes, 2-1
-
For some reason that white and yellow '83 kit always reminds me of grainy TV footage of Mark Walters scoring in Moscow. I think Colin Gibson got the other in a 2-2 draw.
-
Ta-da.
-
Cheers PWS. I think I listened to it on BRMB with George Gavin commentating. In the days when Central would show the goals the next night. Great shot of Tony Barton having a bad hair day. Wasn't their keeper the Russian goalie? Rinat Deasev or something like that? Even if I'm right I doubt if I have spelt it right.
-
We talk about Juventus and Cruyff's Barcelona, but at Villa Park that Spartak team were as good as either of them.
-
I was only twelve or thirteen but I had never seen passing like that.
-
I've often said the best 2 away teams i've seen at VP were Juventus and Spartak.
-
I was once told that the reason Russian teams didn't do well in European competitions was that when the quarter finals came round their domestic season was just starting again, but they were at their peak in the early rounds when their season was two-thirds through. Looking at how poor Dynamo Kiev were in 1982, it's a good shout.
-
Deportivo weren't bad in the early 90's, we got a great result in Spain and then couldn't get a sniff of the ball at home.
-
Celta Vigo were impressive at VP as well.
-
I always forget out of Celta and Deportivo which had the bugle player on the tannoy. and the back third of The Holte roped off and closed.

Celta.

The best teams I saw at Villa Park were Juventus followed by Spartak. Also the Liverpool teams of the early to mid eighties. I was too young to see Cruyff's Barcelona but the Barcelona team I did see were memorable for different reasons.

If you've got the 'Muller Yogurt' one, it definitely is collectible. They were only used in televised games, and, to my knowledge, not released as replicas.
I've got this beauty:

Squad signed, match worn - as identifiable through the embroidered badge and stitched on numbers - and complete with the aforementioned 'Muller Yogurt' logo.
The pride and joy of my collection

I get the retro shirt thing, I like them by and large and have bought a few. What I don't get though, is if the manufacturer is still in business, like Le Coq, for example, why don't they get them to re-make the shirts replete with the logos and in the same materials? Those le-coq kits were classics and I'm sure they would sell more if they were true replicas.
I think Adidas have been flogging that grey Liverpool shirt with the crown paints sponsor recently (here in aus anyway ) whilst not a classic shirt, it looks the business because it's an 'original'

With blue collar? If so that was available from the club years ago, in the old shop in the Pavillions.

The only retro shirt I have bought was the white away shirt that we wore from the late seventies through to the championship winning season. I wore it in a pub to watch the Liverpool/West Ham FA cup final a few years back. A Liverpool fan came up to me at the final whistle to tell me how unlucky 'my team' had been.
