Next seasons kit.

[Ad@m]

I think we're back in 'find a sponsor' territory.

Nike will blame the club this time !

I quite like the Arse kit btw

What happened to the old days where if you didn't have a sponsor for the time you wanted to get your kit on sale you just released it without a sponsor?!

Wasn't there a season towards the end of the 90s where we played the first few months without a sponsor?

I suppose the issue now is that a sponsor wouldn't want to pay as much if the shirt was already on sale.  It does annoy me though so I'd be tempted to fuck the sponsor - just get it on sale pre-summer holidays so we actually sell some and get a bit of cash in!

The checks thing doesn't surpise me. The sceptic inside me has been suspicious they've been tryna phase out claret as much as possible. Evidently it's not marketable.

[TheSandman]

Marketable?

It's a bloody Villa shirt. People don't buy it because it is marketable or fashionable.

[Toronto Villa]

BUY RETRO

You'll never be disappointed

1993/94 before Muller came on board.

This.

I haven't bought a non-retro top since 1998/99. The least tempted I've ever been to blow my cash on one is this year. Two horrendous offerings, in my opinion.

The only thing that may tempt me back would be a 'classic' looking top that is made available with the option of having no sponsor on it.

I've heard that HTC will be our sponsor next season.

Where did you hear that - VillaTalk ?

The Away shirt has got to be white with claret shorts, Ala La Coq Sportif 81/82!!

[London Villan]

The checks are part of the club's branding. All about us being distinct from the other claret and blue mobs. The checks are everywhere you look, season tickets, programmes, inside the ground and on the kit.

HTC they were talking to as well as Macron about the kit.

I realise I may get shot for this but covs new home kit is very nice isf we could come up with a claret and blue version would be fantastic, also all white with claret away shorts and white socks.

Can you say where you heard that, goes with the idea that we have a white away kit every 2 or so years.

Following last years similar monstrosity I'm starting to think that Arsenal have tried to sign new goalkeepers it is just that they were unwilling to wear their goalkeeping shirts.
