New Kit 2010 / 11 ?

[KONSPIRACY]

Not sure what you mean Tim. Obviously whoever gave the ok for that is to blame.

Quite surprised they havent cashed in by having a yellow/green design tbh.

I get the vision of a load of football marketing people looking at this thread and smiling.

[KONSPIRACY]

No doubt. In a few months they'll still be smiling knowing they made the right decisions with the new kits being accepted by the majority.

I'm not talking about the kits, I'm talking about the way they've got so many people willingly handing over every available penny to make a bunch of obscenely rich young men even richer. Oh yes, they make the right decisions alright.

David, when was the last time you bought a Villa shirt?

[villajk]

I consider myself to be a fairly loyal supporter but any replica shirts purchased are from Soccer world or Sports world, whatever it's called this week, saving approximately £10.  More money to feed my habit.

We do have Villa mugs as well.  Purchased from the Club shop in a sale.

I can see your point but is it really anyones business where others choose to spend their money?

I think the only piece of official mercahndise I've bought in the past couple of yaers is a scarf (from the New St shop for when I went to Blackburn in the cup as it was so bloody cold) so it's not an issue for me but if people prefer to buy kit from the club then that's up to them.

I'm struggling to see how you've come to this conclusion Dave.

Every available penny? Its just a case of do you want a shirt or not. In which case, who do you wish to purchase it from.
Buying from the club benefits the club, buying from Sports Soccer saves you a couple of quid. Your choice. Is there anything more in it than that? I can't see it.

I just struggle to understand why people feel obliged to spend more money than they have to on something. That they do so willingly is one of the most successful marketing exercises of all time.

David, when was the last time you bought a Villa shirt?

About ten years ago. And your point is?

[KONSPIRACY]

[dave.woodhall]

Would you care to explain that?

Two reasons.
1- Spending money cheers some people up. It makes them feel wealthy and capable, even if they're not.
2- When it comes to football, sense usually goes out the window.

1) It doesn't cheer me up. Well, not spending my own anyway.
2) I agree with you there. Like I said about marketing....
