Title: Where art thou new Villa kit
Post by: warleyboy on May 27, 2015, 04:31:13 PM: http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11095/9866031/new-football-kits-the-strips-from-the-premier-league-and-beyond

Just been looking at some of next seasons kits, (Newcastles looking impressive).
Does anyone have any information on ours, home or away.
First time this season I have not purchased home or away kit, seems as not much thought went into either.

They're waiting until they know whether they can embroider "FA Cup Winners 2015" under the badge.

It is nice from the front though yes.

My bad, I liked the Geordie kit from the front apart the logo, but I detest all logo's anyhow.
Strange back to the shirt, I bet there fans are not impressed.

Whatever the away kit, I would like some claret and blue trim in there somehow.

I didn't think they were late under Macron?

I should preface this by saying that i am 1. in my late 40s and 2. Not quite the athletic build I once was, so don't buy replica shirts, but I really do think all the Macron ones have looked either ridiculously crap and with the design values of a league one shirt, or in the case in which they've *nearly* got it right, they tend to over-elaborate on stuff. That neck on last year's home shirt, for example.

The nicest Macron one, I reckon, is the current away shirt.

Just got the away shirt for £10 on Sunday , its quite nice actually material feels pretty decent.No complaints with me.

I'd suggest the issue with shirt this season is knowing what league we will be in and what sponsor is going on the front.

I didn't think they were late under Macron?

It's almost certainly a mock up, though.
Oddly I quite like both, except the collar on the home shirt.
My first kit was the 69/70 Docherty one, so I suppose it's a sentimental thing
Title: Re: Where art thou new Villa kit
Post by: Des Little on May 28, 2015, 10:26:41 PM: Bloody dreadful, both of them. The home looks like it's from Leighton Rees' wardrobe and the away looks like Sandwell's latest catastrophe. No thanks.

I can't see it either, especially if we only have one year left on the Macron deal.
Title: Re: Where art thou new Villa kit
Post by: Toronto Villa on May 29, 2015, 02:46:04 AM: I suppose it all depends what the next company is offering to pay. We might have a clause in the contract in the last year that allows us to break with a lesser penalty than if it was done earlier. We do that in my work where in acquiring new business part of our pro forma is to account for taking over from the incumbent contract. Umbro would be a nice change though. Macron hasn't been horrendous but the quality of the material has been poor overall and I've liked the current home kit design less as the season has gone on. Glad Dafabet will be gone soon also, hopefully not replaced by another betting company.
Title: Re: Where art thou new Villa kit
Post by: KRS on May 29, 2015, 03:16:11 AM: I wouldn't at all be surprised if the Macron contract is cut short now that Tom Fox is now on board running the show. There may well be clauses in the current contract that allow for early termination or he may well have found that a new deal with Umbro would be more profitable regardless of the current deal. Fox would also know that having an association with a well known brand could potentially improve the clubs branding and image, provide more marketing opportunities, generate more via sponsorships and increase sales volumes...generally a more attractive corporate and sales package. I guess we'll find out soon enough as things pan out over the next few weeks.

Title: Re: Where art thou new Villa kit
Post by: Des Little on May 29, 2015, 09:08:09 AM: Macron could produce the nicest shirt in the world (in fact they pretty much have with this year's away top), but by putting those logos on the shoulders they relegate any shirt to a non league looking kit.

I had suggested earlier, if someone else wants the business we wouldn't have to do anything. The new supplier would be absorbing the cost of breaking a contract to secure one for themselves. Not that I am suggesting this is what is happening here off course and we may very well have Macron kits for next season.

Not that I could read pal.

I think we may have read some press release if we were going to switch kit suppliers, so I would presume it will be Macron again.
Title: Re: Where art thou new Villa kit
Post by: Archie on May 31, 2015, 09:43:20 AM: I love Macron, mates, and I am very surprised to acknowledge that I am in a minority.
Classy design inspired to tradition, proper shades of claret and blue, and, above all, sartorial models dedicated to the Villa, whereas the big manifacturers (apart from Umbro :-*) would impose one of their hidous standardized designs (with awful collars or trims) that they do for all the teams they sponsor.
They mix the great old English tradition with the Italian style.
I think that the current home kit is perfect.
My only concern is that next kit will be inferior.

Infact, for my Italian team Macron realised some beautiful kits. . .

But for the next kit they felt the need to change, to dare more in order to realise some special effect, and the result is not as brilliant as the lattest.

As ever, I'll be relatively happy so long as we have a claret shirt with blue sleeves. No fucking stripes, hoops or polkadots.
Is the correct answer.

Post by: pauliewalnuts on June 01, 2015, 11:01:57 AM: Those Lazio kits look - mostly - less "fussy" than ours. Also the Macron branding is lower key.

The current home kit is one of the worst in a long time, IMO, but the away is much nicer.

Re getting out of a deal, totally possible if enough money is at stake and there is a willingness on both sides.

I know the bloke who, at 32 Red, negotiated their sponsorship deal with us. He said it was incredibly cheap, so much so that one of the first things Randy did when he arrived was try to get us out of it

Can't see it happening. On VT that Delphinho poster has already seen the kits, he posted pictures of them from the past two or three seasons well before any leaks came out. Not official shoot pics but manufacturing instructions with illustrations on.

I think he probably works for Macron. West Ham have changed to Umbro from Adidas and they announced it a while back, not sure how long their Adidas contract was for.

If we did have Umbro I'd be quite happy but nothing points to it from what I can tell.

I had one and used to wear it every weekend in the pool for my daughter's swimming lesson. It's retained both colour and the sponsors logo surprisingly. The shoulder stickers peeled off shortly after I got it (with a little help from me).

I had the one that was similar to the 82 Le coq one the season before last. The material was that shit I couldn't wear it in the Qld heat. It was absolutely terrible. So I didn't bother getting last seasons shirt. I liked both designs- especially the away shirt, but didn't trust the quality to buy one.

I admit I am fond of the Muller stripes home kit, I was young, but I have come to realise Villa home tops should never ever be anything other than claret shirts with blue sleeves. The NTL stripes and NTL "pink" Angel shirts were dreadful. We've been lucky, don't think we've worn a shirt that hasn't had blue sleeves for almost fifteen years now. Compare that to the Doug era - side panels, halved shirts and stripes every once in a while.

you're right it has no chance to be the actual kit, but that's quite nice. Especially if the sponsor logo was far more conservative. I thought there was limit to the logo in terms of size and content anyway?

The sponsor text is far too big and overpowering. Yellow I get but why the black trim ? Why not claret or light blue ??
I agree. There should be at least some claret & blue trim. This applies to the training gear too. If the main colours are not C & B there should at least some C & B trim.

I like the yellow top, but, prefer a white away one simply because a claret and blue trim goes well with it.
I know what you're saying, but, a claret and blue trim on a yellow top just doesn't do it for me.

I just think it's alright. I liked last seasons away kit but a lot of people didn't. It was a little different though. I don't like the green, black and red striped asics muller kit but I'd rather an attempt at something different. Most are pretty uninspiring nowadays.

I've already said that I'm not a fan yellow shirts no matter what club is wearing them. You then stated we've had yellow before which I considered to be common knowledge.. just for the sake of saying it then?

I figured you would've wanted me to comment on those past kits or elaborate, but I guess it was just to say we've worn yellow before. Dead end.

For some reason, on a thread about kits, where the rumour is we have a yellow away kit, me saying we've had yellow away kits before, seems to bother you and you think the post was only intended for you to see and comment on. Which is a tad bizarre.

I see the potential if done right, a fine example is the red and yellow stripe Barcelona away kit. That was ace, I would love to rock up to an airport on my holibobs wearing that and a nice set of khaki shorts/clean white trainer combo. The dullard mock up above? Not so much. Nike seem to be very good at closing the gap between football shirts and general fashion, I'm afraid I very rarely wear my macron shirts apart from to 5 a side and on match days. Last years away was the best offering by a country mile...I hope we get something of similar ilk

Post by: Toronto Villa on June 21, 2015, 01:48:14 PM: The new kit was launched on June 9th last year and June 12th the year before. It's late this year which likely has something to do with the new sponsor and scheduling pictures with the players etc.

When faced with that dilemma I just ask them how many games they have been to at Old Trafford / Anfield / The Emirates or wherever 'their club' plays and that usually does the trick.

As it's (supposedly) their last season at The Boleyn Ground, it's based on their 1904 kit - their 1st season there..

Post by: Deano's Mullet on July 01, 2015, 03:36:53 PM: To me there are two varieties of the claret shirt with blue sleeves that Villa usually wear - either the traditional one where the arms alone are blue ie 80-81 championship shirt or our current top, or a claret shirt with blue sleeves that cover the shoulders as well ie David Platt 1989-90 Mita shirt, 2008-09 Acorns top we wore vs Ajax. I much prefer the first category which it looks like we have got in the badge kissing picture. Blue socks too please, Villa although I did quite like the black ones from about 2-3 years ago.

Yes sweetie?

Is Gabby giving us his goals target for next season?

You wish

I think that's the number of kids he's telling us he's got.

He's signing a 7-year extension to his contract.

Also would you wear your charcoal/distressed black jacket (I'm assuming a Linen mix here) with sleeves rolled up or down as combined with the blue chinos I'm getting a Don Johnson Miami vice vibe.

I have loads of bandwidth and a fast PC, the buffering is one or more of the servers struggling a bit. The front page is on avfcplc.co.uk but they've hired a 3rd party (streamamg.com) for the actual video feed. I'd guess it's them that are struggling.

There's a cog icon on the bottom right when you move your mouse over the picture. Try clicking that and then selecting 720p. If it's still poor then your picture is probably degrading due to a lack of bandwidth. Mine's quite clear.

The away shirt...well...its yellow. No where near as good as last seasons away shirt. They should have just done a matching away 80/81 shirt.

Yep agree. The design is isn't fussy and the collar is very good and caps it off. Especially after that hideous effort in the first year. I might even get the yellow away, though I said that last year too about the white and didn't bother.
Title: Re: Where art thou new Villa kit
Post by: Legion on July 07, 2015, 07:38:50 PM: Villans is correct.
Title: Re: Where art thou new Villa kit
Post by: Nelson Lodge on July 07, 2015, 07:44:31 PM: Like the home shirt. A nod to the 80/81 season and indeed to the Umbro shirts from 1975 onwards to 1981. The spelling of Villans without the "i" is the correct one.

Not keen on the yellow - reminds me of a bad day at Wembley at the end of May! Plus I do not think yellow has been that lucky. Didn't we lose an FA Cup quarter final at Anfield in the 90s wearing a yellow kit, which was then promptly binned. I would prefer an all white with c&b trimmings as the away kit.

An interesting web site to browse is www.historicalkits.co.uk
Mildly surprised at how many clubs have worn claret and blue strips at one time or another in their history. But no club in Scotland as far as I could see.

When I began following Villa in the mid 70's our nickname was always written as The Villans. The additional i seems to have crept in more & more over the last 40 years so that Villains has now become the most common spelling. I was surprised when I discovered this site by the use of the version with an I.

Went to the launch event. Actually a lot more enjoyable than I expected...even Jim White was good. Two good kits as well, however the two Villa ladies were the most attractive things on view!

Did everyone there make a point of stopping speaking and freezing for twenty seconds every four seconds or so in real life?

Yes - very strange. I thought it was a Norman Collier tribute at first

I used to find Norman Collier's act absolutely hilarious.

If he came back now (he must be dead by now) doing the same act, I'd still laugh every time.

Surprised they didn't show the keepers top, seeing as probably only Given and Steer were available does this mean that they are surplus?

It's because we're going to be so brilliant next year, we won't be needing goalkeepers. We won't be doing any defending.

Well no change there then.

I agree, by and large, though probably not quite so forcefully.

The kits are pretty nice, though. That's an unexpected positive.

Macron have, by and large, made us look a bit third division the last few years, this is a step forward.

Title: Re: Where art thou new Villa kit
Post by: paul_e on July 08, 2015, 12:14:56 PM: I really don't see why so many people have a problem with it. We've got a manager who is positive and straight talking and we want that slightly arrogant honesty to be reflected by the club. I see what people are saying with the whole "don't tell me, show me" thing but I think a lot of Villa fans are guilty of wanting the club to live by that motto but also wanting the club to make statements about everything so they're fucked either way anyway. For me we've had 5 years of almost unremitting negativity, anything that at least tries to address that gets my backing. I'd love it if this goes a bit viral and gets picked up in the press to start some articles about how big a club we really are, maybe that way we wouldn't get stories of people arriving and being surprised by how big a club they've joined (which is directly referenced in one of the quotes).

I agree the fonts are a bit shit but I get what they were going for and I like the idea.

As for the kit, I think the sponsor is ok, I'm a bit surprised so many people think it's so huge. The kits themselves look superb, The away kit is a great colour and I like the black badge, etc. The Keeper shirt on the bottom of the last page is very good as well.

I suppose that's the standard rate in the Premier League. And the thing I understand least of all the things I fail to understand about the insanity of modern football is that some people would rather pay top price at a club shop than less in Sports Direct or wherever "so the club gets the extra".

This is the real kit. Real ITK. Not photoshopped.

#sayitlikesherwood is soo #cringe ! it is unbelievable Villa market it like that and have Sherwood sayings . Sherwood comes out with it this will only boost his ego unnecessarily. Mourinho is top dollar but i could only think someone like Rodgers or Pardew would have this #sayitlikesherwood nonsense the rest of managers in premier league wouldnt have it endorsed

Re the kit i like them and tempted aswell as the home to purchase the yellow suits my style

You stole my thunder. If this was Fergie or Jose with all they have achieved then I would cringe. I like Tim and think he will do a decent job for us but to treat his comments like he is some Oracle is quite awful. Almost as much as they are trying to promote Grealish as our version of Harry Kane. Maybe jack needs to start to act like someone afforded this faux adulation. Can start by putting the ball in the net

Kits are good btw

Was surprised how quietly spoken "Meecah"* was, expected him to be a bit more exuberant.

They'd point to some small print on the website that the club cannot guarantee players staying or their squad numbers. And lets be honest, given how mercenary the modern footballer is, who could guarantee that the players used in a kit launch would be there come August 31st?

Still, at least Miss Cusack should still be a Villa player then....

Fairly busy but he was not impressed with the quality of the shirts so much so he didn't want me to buy him one! Must admit, the tops aren't a patch on last season's in style or quality. The sooner Macron are replaced the better.

It's your own fault for giving him the surname Vennegoor of Hesselink.

I just paid £68 for a shirt, PL badges, number 10 and my son's surname. Ordered online and the effing thing don't fit him. It's like a tent, it'll be years before it fits. No refund because it's personalised.
