The oldest existing club in the world's oldest league.

The problem with the kit stealers like Burnley and West Ham is the quality of shirt they wear.

Now while I’m no lover of sportswear, with few exceptions, our shirts have always had a majestic aplomb, worthy of the elegance of our colours.

Burnley did well in their homage this season, while West Ham’s was sadly as tacky and cheap looking as their owners.

So if you’re going to pay us homage, at least get your manufactures to develop something worthy of the famous Villa colours.

Exactly, that, the plain one and the 2000 one are the exceptions I had in mind.

Yeah, you lot had some truely appalling kits in the 1990's. Particularly the away ones.

Meh, they can do what they like with the away ones.

This was my favourite one of ours. You are right about quality of shirts these days though, particularly as costs continue to go up.

Your Pony ones were shocking, but then I suppose the name said it all. You’re right about the price though. £45 for ours and though they have all looked very nice since we went to Nike, they’re all near enough the same.

Not for me. Sportswear is for kids and fat blokes.

At least West Ham used to give people a clue as to which team they'd ripped off:

Nice photo of a former Villa player there.

One of our greats, no doubt Chico.  What was it, two or three games?!

Bring back players who look like Alan Devonshire



They make any kit look good.

not sure. Was it before or after he got done for trying to import a ferry-load of ecstasy pills in from Holland?

A legend was old Dev. We could certainly do with him in his pomp in our side now.

Yeah, you lot had some truely appalling kits in the 1990's. Particularly the away ones.

the first Villa shirt I ever received! Christmas 1993

Whilst our and Burnley's kits have always been listed as claret and blue, I remember a time when West Ham's was referred to as maroon and blue.

I'm not sure what the background is behind this, maybe Sendo or somebody on KUMB knows the story but it was certainly listed in the 70's as maroon.
