I've only had 2replica shirts in the last 15 years or so, the England shirt for the 2010 world cup by Umbro and the Villa home shirt before this one. The England shirt feels like quality and is smart and comfortable to wear. The Villa shirt is piss poor in design and quality by comparison. Nike were goo d for publicity but apart from the plus point that they have stuck to claret body and blue sleeves, the design has generally been very staid and the quality and service both appalling. Glad to see the back of them. Like MArshall's designs but the shade of claret is a bit too dark and "West Ham" in all of them.
Funnily enough, I have only bought two aswell. The same England one as you, and the Villa kit we had in 08/09 season. Both in long sleeves.
I love them both. The England one is extremely good quality and very smart. Umbro do a similar job I beleive with Man City, and I think a Villa shirt made in the style of the England one would be an all time classic.
The Villa one was the best we got from Nike. The first year we had Acorns on the shirt. Great quality, fit and look.
The other Nike ones haven't been anywhere near as good, and have had problems with them.
I probably wont be buying the Macron one, not because of who they are, but because I rarely wear replica shirts.
