Well I'm pleased. The teasers are great, the videos a good idea and Macron are taking it very seriously.

The club have done well and if the kit is a modern twist on the 80-81 shirt I'll buy one, maybe not the most attractive for a 40 year old but I need something for Monday night 5-a-side! (I'm praying it's not a slim style.....)

Feel genuinely excited with all the positivity this week.

Fingers crossed PL can sort out the useless arseholes that wear the shirt.

I know everyones saying it, but I thought i'd chip in as well and say at first I was sceptical about Macron taking over from Nike as our kit sponsor, but since seeing these videos and the amount of work, research and consideration that has gone into our kit with them I think they are fantastic. Nike who?!

As others have said - Macron seem to portray that it has been an honour to create and produce our shirt - i somehow had the feeling with Nike that apart from United and co they did not give a shit about anyone else

Yeah I must admit I was very skeptical at first. I had never really heard of them and I was thinking pub football kits which was totally unfair as they are showing great respect for our club and look a very professional outfit.
The kits looks like it will be a great one and I am intrigued to seeing this new 'unreal' away kit.
This could be another good move from our board, this, landing Lambert and hopefully some new faces will really lift everyone for this season.

Looks like I'll be buying a shirt for the first time in years. If anybody is in the shop and sees a lot of moths flying around it'll be me opening my wallet. ;)

We're entrusting our sartorial wellbeing to a man with a hairy snood?

What a brilliant 15 minutes viewing.

I have not watched 15 minutes of foreign language film since my adolescence.

Anyhow, Macron have gone from Nil respect from me ......... to when can I give them my cash. Well played Macron, your care and respect is heavily apreciated.

And boy did that show when you went to any Nike outlet, including their soulless and very expensive megastores

That Italian lad with the scarf heading up the design of our kit is very passionate about the project. You can really see how much it meant to him and the companyto be involved with us. The fact that he likes to throw in bits about Italian style and the need for the kit to look and feel good yet with a keen eye on history and tradition makes this entire deal feel right in every way.

What a great video. Whether they get it exactly right, or please everyone (which clearly they won't) Im glad we have gone with them. They look massively passionate and proud to be working with us. Great stuff and well done Villa.

Judging by the look of that designer, I'm fully expecting a sleeveless home shirt/vest, with ball-crunching shorts and espadrilles, a la 1983.  We'll look like Imagination's backing singers.

It sure makes a difference. In April things didn't look quite so rosy!
