New Kit unveiled.

[gervilla]

If Macron come up with something like a retro 1976-81 home shirt I doubt there will be too many people moaning...then again there probably will be one of two on here who still won't be happy.

The more I think of it, the more I think Randy is thick as fuck.

Yeah, funnily enough I was thinking that myself... oh no, sorry... I was actually thinking about you.

Interesting choice. A little Italian style no bad thing - better than a second rate American shysters should not be difficult. Why though with the potential financial clout that a club like Villa can wield we cannot find a British and preferably local company to produce kit I fail to understand. I would not appreciate us funding the global enterprises of Adidas or Puma either for the same reason - none of them are capable of producing associated ranges of leisurewear with any style and so are wasting the opportunity of the added branding power. Nike - the alleged 'market leaders' have been shoddy and disappointing, although the shirts designs have all been acceptable (see 2001-2 or 1999-2000 if you dont know what I mean). If we end up with something like Macron are supplying AZ Alkmaar with it might be good...

It's nothing to do with Villa. The suppliers pay Villa to supply kit and split the money. Apparently we sell @ 100,000 shirts a season. Liverpool get paid around 25 million a season. As I said before Macron wii have offered the most cash and thus won the deal.

In order to get paid £25M they would have to sell a lot of shirts - 500,000 @£45 = £25M gross. I would estimate that Villa's kit supplier make around £1M a year from us which is a significant amount of money even today and in the current climate for a clothing manufacturer is not insignificant.

As for Nike as far as I can tell the only people who STILL think they are cool are the ones wearing trousers without a belt around their arse cheeks who think selling drugs carrying guns and coming straight outta compton is big and clever. The only thing thing that 'suck' worse than American culture is large American corporations.

Hmmm. The stylish 1957 Cup Final shirt was made by Bukta - some more of that please!
Or were you joking?

[TimTheVillain]

I was joking, I didn't know that.

Actually, I'd love a Villa kit by Adidas, blue sleeves with 3 claret stripes.

The info. re. kicking Nike into touch is the best news all fkin season !!

[pauliewalnuts]

I find it hard to believe Adidas pay Liverpool £25m a season.

Some wonky maths there, I suspect.

[TheSandman]

The £25million a season deal starts next season and is with Warrior Sports (who?)

[Somniloquism]

But they aren't Nike are they so Liverpool must be small time.

The Bologna shirt on the Macron website is very nice indeed.

[cdbearsfan]

Bologna are my Italian team. Forza Rossibleu.

[The Left Side]

Just buy the retro shirts, they are cheaper, they last longer and they never go out of fashion!
