Does any of the past shirts worn over the years bring back any particular memories for you?
Players, matches, good/bad times, trips, occassions etc?
Only got the shirts upto 2006-2007, & i'd love it if anyone can remember anything from 1874 !!

Have got that poster up in my PC room here at home.... only 5 shirts from 1970 and up to last season missing out of my collection

I remember being particularly pleased that the hummel 89/90 effort returned to something approximating a Villa shirt compared to some of the monstrosities that had gone before.

The Umbro 1992/93 and Reebok 95/96 kits seemed to strike that balance between contemporary and tradition, a lead we would do well to follow now.

Some of our more recent kits are the kind of thing you'd expect from West Ham. The first nike effort was decent though.

The Hummel away shirt.......5 across and 3 down........or 3 down and 5 across either way! My first shirt and I adored it and still my fave!

Have been considering for a while (brought on moreso by the current seasons kit being late/shit) whether to buy a replica european cup final shirt.  Noticed the online club shop selling for 30 bucks, or english pounds if you will, but having only been born in 87, might look a tad strange.  Not sure

The away shirt introduced in 1969/70 is one i always remember. The first sighting of it was for a pre-season friendly against the Italian under 21s at VP. Everybody booed at first when they come running out thinking it was the oppostion.

The umbro shirt's of 1990-1993 european night's beating inter milan at home.

[Deano's Mullet]

The 1992-93 bootlace kit still our best top ever.

Having  a "Saunders 9" Muller stripes top and it being really snagged within a couple of days, bump into a door handle and it was bobbled for life. Then the first time my mum washed it the 9 and the name were discoloured permanently.

Buying the blue 1995-96 away kit and being looked upon in disdain by other Villa fans.

The sky blue AST kit will always be associated for me with the unveiling of Stan Collymore.

Many many memories.

The yellow MG one I can only remember because we wore it in a PSF against Walsall and lost.

[ADVILLAFAN]

The 1999-2000 always reminds me of Carbone's goal against Leeds United in the FA Cup.

It also reminds me that every player who wore it wore one that was ten sizes too big for them. Alan Wright looked like a clown.

Does anyone know where I might be able to buy these-

They're all really high priced on classic football shirts.

I have owned all of those shirts and my mother chucked them all out, claiming "there isn't enough room for them".
