I thought FX Pro have dumped us in favour of Fulham (as they're ground is on the Heathrow flight path - or something or other).

It's claret and blue with chequered design that you'll barely be able to see when the team play aside from close ups.

Cue inevitable melodrama from some . . .

No, they wanted to renegotiate the contract and we told them to fuck off. Fulham didn't seem to share that viewpoint and took it in the rear to maintain the deal. Either way, the shirt sponsor won't be Fx Pro.

I cant see the problem, it is claret with blue sleeves and has a Villa badge on, ok, it may be a bit radical for some with the cheques and white socks.

Basic design is nice if you ignore the checks - similar to 89-90 and the first Acorns shirt - but i think its a hoax. Someones been playing around with web designer or something. And please dear god no to white socks - we are not West Ham.

It must be the shirt as people can buy it. They surely would have a crap tonne of legal problems if
a) they attempted selling a fake shirt as real
b) showed that image to everybody who pre-ordered it then gave them something completely different by the time deliveries came about.
c) made up a shirt and leaked it as the official villa shirt.

God i'm not sure now, i loaded up JJB direct from google and went to the Villa page and there it is..... I thought the other one might have been a link someone made up. Well...... we've had far worse shirts. Please god no white socks.

From reading twitter and other forums people like the white socks. I guess it will be better the see when the whole kit is annouced.

Last time I can remember that we had white socks with our home kit would have been 1993/94 and 1994/1995 with the Asics monstrosities. As mentioned earlier, it's very West Ham.

It's very strange and untraditional that the kit has been unveiled before its official launch.

I think it's awful.
I hate the white socks (we are Villa, not West Ham), the blue extended on the shoulders and also the checks that bring two different shades of claret on te body.
I expected  a proper Aston Villa dark claret for the 30 rd anidversary of the 1981 title, but this is by far our Nike worse kit.
I am always eager and anxious to see the new kit and I can't believe this awful outcome.

From SCG11:

Quote
As of yet there is no sponsor for the club shirts and therefore one option the club is considering is that the new strip maybe made available without the sponsors name. However if people do purchase one, then you will be able to return the shirt to have the sponsors name on at a later date. The kit is due out July for away and August for home. There will be no discount for the strip even though last years only came out 5 months ago.

I really like that kit.

Not sure about the white socks, but they'll grow on me.
