"Villa became the first club to adopt the now-popular claret-and-blue jerseys before the turn of the 20th century..."I can see why you're trying to undermine the Official FIFA version of events :-)

Quote from: "Villadawg""Villa became the first club to adopt the now-popular claret-and-blue jerseys before the turn of the 20th century..."I can see why you're trying to undermine the Official FIFA version of events :-)It seems to be a unique thing to Villa fans to bemoan the fact that another club wears the same kit as them (and seemingly gets recognised more than they do), considering the number of clubs up and down the league that wear near identical strips (Sunderland, Sheff Utd and Southampton spring to mind).It doesn't matter a bit to me who had the kit first, we've worn it for over 100 years now.

We were also founded in 1874 and we're not the oldest club in the top flight, Stoke are.
