From a visitor post on our FB page. What would your thoughts be about wearing retro shirts next season instead of the new one? Support the team but stop buying the new merchandise?

I've been doing this for 20 years anyway so I'm all for it!
-
I, for one, will be growing my pubes out and buying a Ford Capri. Fuck you, Lerner.
-
The new shirts are all a bit close fitting for me these days anyway...
-
Mebbe just wear the fashions popular in 1981 instead. A cheaper alternative, as some of us could just turn up dressed as normal.
-
I've been retro since day 1. Brought up poor so was envious of those kids with their Heston shirts for PE. Now I have one of those striped scarves that my mom got from a charity shop 20 years ago when they weren't in fashion, and a regular old jumper that's claret with blue horizontal stripes.
-
Good idea, an excuse to get the old tops out. Just watched the highlights of the 77 LC Final, John Motson sighed off by saying " won by one of the most famous clubs in football....Aston Villa". Sniff.
-
Better yet make the team play in retro strip. No collar, string tie necks, blue sleeves, circular blue neck band, boots with toe caps, hair oil, centre partings. When they are mathematically certain of promotion they can start wearing the poncey stuff again.
-
Yep, I normally go retro anyway.
That or in all black.

And pay the lazy bastards 8 quid a week
-
Only in the football season though. They can either play for the Bears or get a window cleaning round in the summer.
-
If the prices are the same as Under Armour charge for the Wasps home and away shirt then I think their will be outrage on here and a refusal to buying them anyway as they charge £85.
-
I think the club would totally miss the point, launch their own range to cash in and loads of idiots would miss the point and buy it. Besides kids would still want the new kit even with some of the current wastrels wearing it

And make them drink London tap water.

I genuinely don't think they'd be that sharp.

Au contraire...

That is cruel adreno. Did you know that 75% of mains tap water in south London has already been through somebody's kidneys?

They've been doing retro shirts for twenty years at least.

not sharp, just thick. You could imagine the board sitting there at the first home game, seeing loads of shirts they don't recognise and after asking a few people what team's shirt they're wearing. I doubt they'd link it to any protest they're so insulated

Warm weather training at Holt Fleet
-
I remember Holt Fleet I nearly drowned there as a six year old going down the weir on a plank. Could not swim of course.
-
They should wear this next season. Magnificent shirt.

Well if people are going to wear retro shirts that the club sold them, then we really deserve all we get
-
I live in the retro shirts - the bootlace kit, both Muller stripes, AST 1995 shirt and the early 70s top. Our recent ones look nice but aren't really comfortable to wear unlike the Nike and Hummel ones of the O'Leary and O'Neill erasa
-
I am all for our own identity. Man utds away identity is unique, no one wears teams colors they usually wear all black I am not sure what the history behind this is or significance.
Today I was watching Brighton V Leeds I noticed hardly any Leeds supporter had a replica shirt, a team hat, or scarves.
Bradford V Villa has been uploaded from villa boy from 1987-88. I noticed there were hardly any villa colours in our support.
This is type of identity we need , we wont be in the Premiership, championship has more traditional supporter feel.
Grown men wearing replica tops with "i love villa" on is just embarrassing.

Same here so normal for me but a good idea nevertheless.
-
Unless you're playing or under 12 what are you doing wearing a football shirt anyway?
And why anyone would pay to use their body as advertising space for Quickbooks, dafabet, mitre copiers or any other company is beyond me.
These companies pay the clubs to turn you into a sandwich board and you then pay the club to do so? No wonder Joleon Lescott's got a new car and a magic trouser phone.
-
Surely some bard could make up a tune of Jolean's magic trouser phone to the air of Niall Quinn's disco pants?

I was just about to ask if Magic Trouser Phone were the support act for African Car Reverser at some summer festival?

No, I think you're confusing them with Routine Humiliation.

Well, quite! I have one myself... The 1981 one my parents wouldn't buy me at the time... It was only once I'd bought it, that I was able to forgive them.
-
there's no need for me to go retro - I'm 142. I only ever attend night games.

If we're going retro, then there's only one shirt that's appropriate.

Which apparently is worth a small fortune. Depending on where you look, £125-200!

No visible signs of wear and tear. Is it the actual one St*v* H*dg* wore playing for Norwich that day?
-
I can't do retro-Villa shirts but I can do retro-NFL or retro-MLB. Will that do ?
-
I, for one, will be growing my pubes out and buying a Ford Capri. Fuck you, Lerner.
Yay! (see signature)

That can't be right, it looks like it would fit someone with a normal size torso instead of someone who looked like he'd been used as a human "whack-a-pest" character once too often. (oh, if only)

Where we getting the shirts from? Im not lining his pockets?

Did he sell his Maradona shirt in the end? I bet Maradona chucked his Hodge shirt ages ago. I just realised that was thirty years ago and suddenly feel old.

I thought a man of your taste and, ahem, advancing years would already be hirsute in the groinal area to be honest.

I do alright, you incorrigible flirt. I'm only 38!

Are you a Lynx type person Sexual?
