Best Kit Ever

[dave.woodhall]

One thing the last years of the Doug regime did was get back to a proper Villa kit. This is horrible.

That stripe makes it look hideous.

It must be bad as I'm the only one who liked the 1999/2000 striped jobbo.

I came back to see if it was as bad as first viewing, and it isn't. It's worse. That stripe looks like a sash some marching band would wear.

Should a pic be put in the main section?

Archie, dimmi che é un scherzo.

Ciao Eamonn, non lo so se è uno scherzo, penso di sì, l'ho trovata sulla rete!

Hi Eamonn, you legend, I don't know if it's a joke, I think so, I found it on the web. :-)

That kit is feckin rank
must be a piss take

Horrible - just horrible.  Hopefully a fake.

Theres a group on facebook talking about the possible designs for new kits and this one and loads of other photo shopped ones are on there. Please god no stripes or halves, just a claret shirt, sky blue sleeves and blue socks. And it doesnt have to be a bootlace but would love a blue loop round the neck like we had in 1992-93, dead traditional too.

Yes, it would be beautiful!

Spent about £ 250 on e-bay lately filling in the gaps in my shirt collection. How sad is that. Missing a few from the '80s.Theres good money to b made in the market if anyone needs to sell.

I liked this one - shame about the team. Still, two wins over the Blues in it!

Has anyone got proper action shots, possibly scanned from programmes etc, of all the Villa kits from about 1970 onwards? I'm interested in making a scrolling screensaver of Villa kits (home and away) through the ages.

Oh, and I'm looking for colour shots. Any links/posts would be appreciated.

Google images is ok too. Type in the player you want and chances are he will be there.

Ah, yeah, I've tried both of those. They were pretty good but I'm having real trouble with most of the 80's away kits, the 70's yellow kit and the 75-6 home kit, which has a slightly different Umbro badge to the 76-81 one.

You could scan photos from books?

The Illustrated History book is pretty good for colour photos from the 70s and 80s.
