I think the green will be the same as the ''Monster Energy'' green.  That logo and colour is everywhere.Appears to be the trendy colour with the youngsters at the moment. Regarding the home shirt did Sky not give us a view of it when they filmed the name Lambert being printed on it in one of their reports outside Villa Park over the weekend. It looked very plain claret body, blue sleeves that didn't go over the shoulders. ??

It may have been but I didn't see the checks on the claret body.

If they go with a flourescent green it'll be the biggest selling away kit in years. Anything unusual always sells well (remember the striped home shirt?).

Agree, refresh the whole club, new and so needed after the yawns of the past 2 years.

I think we'll lose the black socks and go to blue again - so good to have sacked Nike.

Are there any leaks? Or just guesswork?

Umbro was bought by Nike in 2008 and almost immediately rebranded with the Tailored By range.  Cited as inspirational in the football kit evolution towards more understated designs from the rest of the "big four" (Puma, adidas and Nike), Tailored By was lauded by sports fashion commentators and quickly built up Umbro's credibility, which had been lagging in previous years.

However, despite increased expenditure and high-profile marketing campaigns - including England shirt launches employing stars of other sports and music - revenue in 2011 was lower than back in 2006 and ongoing losses have led Nike to the conclusion that they should focus on the core brand and other better performing areas such as Jordan and Converse.

What the future holds for Umbro may be a sale to another manufacturer, such as adidas, or it may be that Umbro can somehow return to being self-sufficient - in line with reduced funding from Nike.  Other scenarios are worryingly bleaker.

Mostly guesswork. With some apparent ITKs to possibly back it up.

Cheers!

Like the Macron style. Also wouldn't mind something a bit different than mainstream (away)

I love this time of year.

The one time men suddenly understand the use of colours, style, and design in clothing.
