New Kit - Now out in September

[mshurst]

This new sponsorship deal has really thrown a spanner in the works.

The new sponsor wasn't announced until June, thus meaning that Nike had to stick the sponsor on the shirts just for the unveiling & pre-season.

But, you'd think the most famous sports supplier in the world would have enough donkeys working on the kits to get a few thousand created before the start of the season.

Surely there must be some form of contract stating so?

Unless, by Villa not signing a sponsorship deal so late Villa broke it, and Nike said they could not supply the kit as it was so late...


Either way, I'm very fucked off. I wanted to go to the home game on my birthday sporting the new shirt (I collect) and get pissed on watered down bottles of beer.

Hope you're happy, Villa & Nike, you've ruined my birthday. COMPLETELY! (cry cry)

Apparently its due to the shortage of plastic bottles with every nike kit made from recycled plastic, Take 10 empty bottles to Villa Park and get the ball rolling.(You may get a discount)

The official Pravda presence on Facebook are not very keen on people making even slightly negative feedback comments about this. A lot of selective editing going on.

So once again people are having to wait until September to pay around £50 for a shirt that'll probably have an eight-month shelf life.  If people want to buy it it's up to them, but they might as well come with "MUG" printed on the back.

That'll cost you a couple of quid more.

It won't. The shirt is £45 for adults and all printing on the new kit done at either official shop is free until the end of September.

That's if we get the fucking kit before the end of September.

Poor.

I was looking forward to the new shirt for the first game of the season but i suppose i will have to wait dam.

You can wear it for the first game of next season, underneath next years kit.

If that's out on time.

It will be here in time for the new signings to wear on their debuts then. Perfect ;-)

February?

Even if the club delayed it with the new sponsor I find it amazing a company the size of Nike can't run a few thousand off at short notice. It's not as if they won't have finshed off putting the crappy chequered bit on & weren't ready for it.

You'd think so wouldn't you.

Nike aren't famous for their workers conditions ... so why stop now? Get a few thousand more kids to put the patches on the shirts!

[pmarachi]

I plan on complaining about it and  being annoyed about it...

Then ordering it anyway.


And also not liking it when it gets here


Stupid checker board armpit shirt...

[TimTheVillain]

The more I look at the shirt in question, the worse it looks.

It looks cheap. ill designed and put bluntly, the sort of kit you'd expect in the Vauxhall Conference.

Am I right in thinking this is our last contracted season with Nike?

Unfotunately (in my opinion), I can see them not renegotiating with us.
