I also made these, I didn't want to bump an old thread so thought I'd leave them here, for the 150th year coming soon.

I haven't bought a Villa shirt other than retro ones for over twenty years but if we ever had an Adidas strip I'd be one of the first in the queue for it.

I don’t like the hooped shirt even if we did wear it back in the day. Claret shirt, blue sleeves please. The away one they can do what they like with though it’s preferably white or yellow.Whilst I broadly agree with this principal, I think it would be good to have a change occaisionally, particulalry when it's to an historically influenced kit like this - Smirkers idea is the original 1874 kit for our 150th year, which I think would be fantastic. I'd also like to see us wear the striped 57 FA cup shirt for a season.

I personally don't want Adidas - we've never had them and I think of West Ham.
Umbro still produce good kits - Burnley's colours are spot on this season. I'm also partial to Hummel who have done a great job with our sister Cazoo club this season. Failing that New Balance.

Cazoo Golden Goals
Cazoo, Aston Villa’s shirt sponsor and principal partner, has been donating £1,000 to The Aston Villa Foundation, the Club’s official charity, for every goal scored by the first team in the Premier League this season.
To celebrate the first ever Cazoo Football Derby, Cazoo doubled the usual 'Golden Goals' donation from £1,000 to £2,000 resulting in an additional £4,000 raised on Saturday, thanks to a goal from Ollie Watkins and another from Anwar El Ghazi.
As a result of Aston Villa's on-pitch successes so far, we are delighted to announce that The Aston Villa Foundation will benefit from a £50,000 ‘Golden Goals’ donation from Cazoo, which will help to continue to deliver its mission of ‘Working Together to Enrich Lives’.

Arse’s new away shirt (if the leaks are correct) just has the cannon instead of the whole crest. We really should look at just having the lion on ours.
100%
Eventually I think that's what it will be for most clubs. Full crest for the media and embroidered mascot on the kit.
Looks so much better. Compare Liverpool's shirts with the full crest to now. Spurs as well.

It’s got to be Umbro and make them all wear long sleeves cowans/ Morley style
This modern thing of some players wearing short sleeved shirts with some kind of tight fitting long sleeved under garment does need to be outlawed.
Was it Ashley Young that started that?

'89-90 is the only decent Hummel kit we had. The 2000s ones were desperate and I am one of those who don't like the 87-89 one.

I wouldn't bother with a 40th anniversary shirt. We can go for nostalgia fest with the 2023/24 shirts for the 150 years anniversary. Recreation of the double-winning kit for the home shirt, 1982 Final kit for the away shirt, 57 Final kit third choice.

How can you do the Denis Law thing of playing while holding the cuffs, which automatically instilled you with 110% cool factor if you wore a short sleeve strip?.
Until they saw me play.
I was responsible for creating my works B team, and made myself manager so I could pick me every time. We lost every game we played but I got to wear claret and blue (and held onto the shirt cuffs like Denis Law). There are no sufficiently excremental words to describe my football talents, but I looked so, so cool.

Hummel kits of the 80's were, with a few years hindsight, appreciably retro. Hummel kits of the 2000s were terrible.
Yep. 80s one great. Even the “template” one we had first. The second one was a thing of beauty. Especially the white and black away one.

Away and third are fine, though I suspect the last one would look terrible when worn, as all grey kits do.
The home one is a monstrosity and has no resemblance to a proper Villa home shirt.
I liked the original one ;D
The away one was my first ever football shirt and I'm hoping Hummel release a proper remake. They did release some Denmark remakes recently so maybe they will. It's a beauty imo.

Post by: Ad@m on May 28, 2021, 11:13:05 PM
There’s massive money in old Villa kits. I don’t know why the likes of Le Coq or Hummel don’t produce re-runs. That white/black/purple away Hummel from 1990 would really sell.
The white/blue/black Umbro one from the early 90s would be amazing too.
That was one of my first shirts and I loved it!

Don’t mind the aways, hate the home one. Claret shirt, blue sleeves. Coventry City veer from stripes to halves to whatever every so often but we are Aston Villa. The 87-89 Hummel was ok as a one off and that’s how it should stay.

I’ve still got my original 95 one and it still fits which is great. They just need to redo 89-90 and the whole run of classic retros is done with the exception of the Henson relegation top.

It's a pity Villa can't use the manufacturer's logo on most of the retro shirts (Reebok in this case, Hummel for the 87/88 ones). Not that I'm overly keen on being a walking advertisement, but it just looks like something is missing and also a bit incongruous when the main sponsor is there across the chest.

1997-98 was a case of the away being better than the home. The previous home was very classic and, for me, the 1997-98 home was a tad too dark.

I was thinking that most clubs may be waiting for England to crash out of the Euros before they put the new strips on sale. If they go out now, they’re competing (mostly) with England merch and it might not be the best time for them to go on sale. Fresh and exciting once England’s euro campaign is done and dusted. Just a theory.
The boys should be revealing the new kits tomorrow then!

Whilst I'm mainly traditionalist in my views, there's only so much you can do with claret body and blue sleeves and I have liked the odd change over the years. I loved the Luke kit. I also really like Smirkers 57 FA Cup homage at the start of this thread and would like to see something like that brought in for a season.
Edit - must have dreamt about a 57 homage as can't find it at the start of the thread. Anyway, I'd like one.

Me too. As long as we're recognisably claret body, blue sleeves 90% of the time then I don't mind being a bit creative periodically.Villa shirts are claret with blue sleeves.
A novelty shirt once in a while is nice, maybe once or twice a decade. We have had too many novelty shirts. Just give us the traditional villa kit.
Favourite novelty kits for me are the thick striped one and the Luke one. Favourite non-novelty ones are the 89/90 Hummel one, the 92/93 Umbro one with the 1890s style, and the 2002/03 Diadora one (dark claret, sky blue sleeves).

Agreed. The Luke kit was helped by it being a nice rich shade of claret.
The new home if legit (and it appears to be) is dreadful, a complete mess with too much going on. Also it likely won't be very flattering on, the shoulder design will make the wearer look wider at the belly and narrower at the shoulders. Not a good look. Ah well, I wasn't going to buy it anyway and will now wait for next year's Adidas blockbuster.

A classic Hearts shirt, maybe. Villa shirts are claret with blue sleeves. I can't believe I still have to explain this to people every year. It's like talking to Climate Change deniers, Flat Earthers and people that admit to liking some of U2's early stuff.

1997-98 was a case of the away being better than the home. The previous home was very classic and, for me, the 1997-98 home was a tad too dark.
Agreed, I got 95-97 home and the 97-98 away, the AST sponsor seemed very apt. Never wore the away much as it was a bit skimpy on me. Must dig it out as may fit me now and still like the design.

The shoulders are fucking awful though, as someone posted earlier the 2 combine to look narrow at the shoulders and wider at the belly, it'll be bad on professional athletes, on the average fan it's going to look horrific. If they really wanted this styling they need to add some blue panels on the sides to balance it out better. Which means it doesn't work as Villa home shirt.

Cheers eamonn, I didn't know that. I've had a look, and yes, you're right about the Reebok sign. I suppose there must be some way around this for geeky shirt collectors like myself. I was 14 the summer that kit came out..time does indeed fly.

How long was delivery, and what are the sizes like mate?Delivery on the fake kits vary from 2-5 weeks. Depends on the seller, and his feedback. Mate at work has worn his fake baggies shirts all season, the numbers are peeling off now. He can't fault them. Size wise, the one I've bought I'm normally large/xl and bought an xxl, but that was a kappa shirt. The Nike England Shirts I would go for an xl.

Both of those are nice particularly the black and the badge doesn't seem as out of place on them. The away would look better if it was plain white but the fact it is "striped" like the claret in the home shirt suggests it might be genuine if the home one is.

And where would the sponsor go? That kit worked in 1878, not so much now. Now a black retro range or training kits with a big red lion? Count me in. The 57 home and away is always something I liked.
I'm sure we could forego a sponsor on the third (or fourth) kit if need be. A decent home and away kit would probably sell more than usual given it'd be the anniversary.

If we went 81, 82 and 57 as 3 of them surely 96 is the only sensible option for the 4th kit so we're celebrating our last win in each of the major trophies in our cabinet.

The club need to be focusing on engaging with Middle Aged Messageboard Mafia to boost sales.
Except for those maniacs that like the crazy Hearts top or the numerous stripey monstrosities we've had over the last few decades, obviously. They should be ignored. Possibly killed, too, at the risk of being too harsh.

The brats will wear any old shit, no point in caring what they think, they'll be nagging the parents to buy it anyway.
The club need to be focusing on engaging with Middle Aged Messageboard Mafia to boost sales.
Except for those maniacs that like the crazy Hearts top or the numerous stripey monstrosities we've had over the last few decades, obviously. They should be ignored. Possibly killed, too, at the risk of being too harsh.
You fucking Mensheviks are always too wishy-washy. It's why you never get anywhere. "At the risk of being too harsh." FFS, man.
You'll be dancing with five at the back at the politburo disco next, you sap.

The reason the kits are late being launched is the away kit is going to be an Argentinian strip with a Villa badge. ITK.
I mentioned this to the missus and nipper tonight, that we'll have to cheer on Argentina at the next World Cup, what with them having 4* Villa players in the side.

Don't mind it. Isn't one of my favourites but at least it's claret shirt, blue sleeves. White shorts and blue socks is a bonus. I think the stripey affect won't really be noticeable during matches. How much Grealish features in the video is promising, I think.

Agreed and really like the video, just the right amount of history, the ground and the players rather than larking around in a modelling shoot.
https://www.avfc.co.uk/news/2021/july/Aston-Villa-s-new-2021-22-home-kit/
Also got to be encouraging when you see so much of Jack in the video. If they expected him to be on the way there may have been a bit of judicious editing before release. Kit's growing on me as well, looks fine on the players, and there's only so much you can do with claret body and light blue sleeves.

Not a fan of it at all.Because they have to keep making it different from previous shirts..
What's so difficult about a plain claret front and blue sleeves?
Classic, perfect. This is neither of those things.
Inevitably the style changes lead to more and more variations.
It would be great if the club returned to authentic shirts using sustainable materials but that seems unlikely.
Post by: paul_e on July 14, 2021, 03:32:10 PM
A group of people are upset because it's a bit weird and doesn't look enough like a traditional Villa kit.
Another group of people are upset because it's too similar to last season and is just ripping fans off.
The club have an almost impossible task of keeping both of those 2 group reasonably happy.
Post by: Villan82 on July 14, 2021, 03:33:03 PM
However, this decade we have had a few striped efforts now plus the non blue sleeve effort. Next year I want something traditional, back to basics. In 1995/96 we went back to basics after the striped effort and I think that should be what we aim for next year.
I would love to see us go back to keeping a home kit for two seasons.

I don't think it would work these days as part of the away kit would be the same colour as the home team's. Same reason we sometimes have to wear claret shorts if the home team is wearing white ones.

Not sure how you can be up in arms about it as the markup on the shirts are massive. I went into the club shop the day before the new kit was released and you could get last years player issue shirts which were £90 down to £30.

Well yeah in an ideal world. On the other hand its probably a hell of a lot of money :o

I don't normally bother with the new kit, though the discount code promising £30 off and the sense of momentum we have presently, meant I was tempted.Spoke to soon. Just received two emails. They've cancelled the order and refunded the money and offered a 25% discount. Fair enough.

It looks nice but I'd rather we saved European Cup replicas for a big anniversary... such as the club's 150th coming up. 40th anniversaries aren't really worth celebrating and, in any case, are a reminder of our general underperformance since.Yeah, reminds me of a chipper I saw in Rhos-on-Sea in North Wales which had a big banner saying "Celebrating the 25th anniversary of winning the best chip shop in Conwy award", or words to that effect. Seemed to be an odd thing to celebrate ... not doing anything notable for 24 years in what's a fairly small geographic area.
The 150th 'birthday' seems a more appropriate thing to celebrate.

That's a lovely one, too. The sponsor rubs off like a bastard, however.
I recently picked up the not so classic 'glow in the dark' 2012-13 away in long sleeve. Being the lanky bastard that I am, my wife said I look like a glow stick at a boyband concert...

What football kit?
change the orange and Green for C and B and that would be really nice. Off to the shower now.

why did long sleeves get phased out?
Maybe when players started to wear those underskins?

Should have saved that for 150 years anniversary. Also, badge should be in the middle.
We'll be honouring the 2023 CL victory then.
The new kit is lovely. Love a white and claret shirt and they got the little details right like a bit of blue trim, the star at the back and the break in the stripes for the sponsors logo.

The club know how much angst this is creating for supporters, so assuming the bid is now 'officially official', why don't they release a statement with either a big 'Fuck off, he's not for sale' or 'Yes, we've accepted the bid - Jack will now hold talks with City'?

The texture of the fabric seems to be nicer.those macron shirts were horrible scratchy material that made me itch like fk in the qld heat. No idea what the kappa ones will be like as I haven’t bought one until the away one came out this season. It’s on it’s way for the princely sum of 123 plastic Aussie dollars. Hoping I don’t regret it when it arrives

what was the fitting like on last seasons strip? tempted to buy the away one at £17 . usually XL should I go for XXL?Yes. Unless you have the body of an athlete or pro footballer*
*Not talking Agbonlahor or McCormack obviously.

It's an OK shirt. What I find annoying with alot of kit manufacturers. Why does the pattern not continue on the back. Having the claret pin stripes down the back, would make it look so much better.
Conflicts with the numbers probably. That or you put the number in a square which spoils the look.

Already run out.Now on preorder.Not good with our first home game on Sat.
Or from a marketing point of view - maybe it is just very popular - things do run out when they are eagerly sought after and as shirts have a limited shelf life of a season, judging how may to pre order must be very difficult

It's all good fun taking the piss out of Flin5tone (and rightly so a lot of the time), but in fairness I think it's reasonable to critisice people having to hold for over an hour to get through to the ticket office and understocking shirts for what, the third or 4th year running?This is where we fall short yet again, a failure to stock the shirts for the opening Home Match along with many people feeling frustrated with the Ticket Office.

I don't really care about us wearing blue as that's the sort of thing they worry about. Does look a bit like we've been "mauled" by some particularly terrifying Hull City supporters, though.
It's nothing to do with them for me. I hate all and every team that plays in a dark shade of blue.
Edit: Ok, it's moderately to do with them.

Saw the blue one on Twitter earlier but didn't give it much credence. The black one was leaked with what turned out to be the actual home and away kits so hope/think it will be the 3rd kit.
I didn't like the 95-96 blue shirt but my uncle (who hates Blose and Rangers) did and bought it. Not for me but still much better than the one above.

Anyway, I'll let you know the verdict of a 6 year old later. I'm nonplussed by it but it's a third kit and not one we'll be identified by. We'll wear it a couple of times against the likes of West Ham and ManCity.

Maybe I just don't mind it as it is a bit Scotlandy.

Just disappointed it wasn't the black one we discussed as I would have bought that one.
Post by: Demitri_C on August 26, 2021, 11:56:43 AM
It's grown on me. It isn't a very Blosey blue for those who worry about that sort of thing. Think it will be regarded as a bit of a classic in years to come. I'm very happy with all the kits this year, and we haven't had to endorse illegal Israeli settlements or murdering animals for "sport" along the way. Well done all.
I agree bloses kit is more that chav blue than navy. Its nothing like a blose kit

Yep my son wants the new white away kit, best part of 100 notes it will cost, he’s 11. Had to say to him he’ll have to buy the top out of whatever pocket money he’s saved over the months and we’ll buy the shorts and socks. The shorts and socks are 37 quid on their own, Jesus wept.

It’s not a blues shirt. Not even close. It’s dark blue. We’ve worn blue a number of times in our history. Didn’t turn us into them or Coventry.

Couldn't care less that's it's blue. Those twats don't have a monopoly on that colour. We play in claret and blue, for starters. It looks decent in person, and seems to be very popular judging by how may were already wearing it yesterday. Much better than the horrible army style third shirt we had last year which I had forgotten all about. The fact that I've forgotten it shows how rarely we wear our third kit, so those that don't like it won't have to see it very often.
I agree it is definitely alot nicer than that grey one last year. This one looks a lot nicer. I love it

I don't know how they coped, but they've only had one proper white away kit since 1968.

Does anyone actually know why we have a 3rd kit? Other than the fact that every other team does and it allows the club to squeeze a few more pips out of our fans, there’s absolutely no need. How often will we play in it this season?
Teams rarely have a third kit because they absolutely have to play in it.

Like I say, it’s to rinse our fans a bit more then if it’s sold as a kit but not used as one.

But they’ve had blue away kits like Chelsea, somewhat burgundy away kits like West Ham, yellow away kits like Spurs have had yellow away kits. It’s just not in any way shape or form a big deal.
I'm not saying it was, just pointing out a historical fact.

Why is it? Surely it’s just another choice. Nobody has to buy anything sold by the club.

Teddy Bears is Glaswegian rhyming slang for 'Gers'. It honestly does work in the Glasgow accent!

We obviously can't follow suit due to the change of kit suppliers but I'd be more than happy if they decided to alternate the changing of the home & away strips going forward.
Also no need for a third strip!

By my reckoning, three of our 90s home kits were each kept for two seasons. Unfortunately, the 1992-93 kit was not among the kits to be retained for two seasons. Loved that kit.
One of the away kits did one better... the Venglos 90-91 Umbro shirt made an appearance at Anfield in 92-93.
