They can only say no I guess. I'd understand them refusing. When the big JJB sports was open nearby New Street they used to do it. Struggling to think of another high street shop in town I could try nowadays.

Was in town earlier so popped into the shop to ask for you. You can take shirts in to get printed, takes 10-15 minutes.

That's ever so good of you. Thanks, PWS. I'm picking the kit up from the store today. I'm a tight arse and didn't want to pay for postage!

Just picked it up. It's a Villa shirt, so it's great.

On the way back, though I stopped at a Nike store and had a look at some other kits. Barca, Juve, Brazil etc. The quality of them dwarves that of Macron. On one of the rails they had some un-badged 5-a-side kits which were good too. I know Macron pay us more, but they seriously need to up their game quality wise. As a consumer, I miss Nike.

The problem was Nike couldn't care less about us. With the likes of Barca, Man Utd, Arsenal and Celtic on their books we were like the runt of the family. I remember asking a guy working in a Nike shop if they sold any Villa replica shirts and he said he didn't realise Villa were made by Nike (yet the whole shop was adorned with the afore-mentioned clubs items).

Like I said, Macron may pay us more, and pay us more attention, which is fine and best for the club. As a consumer though, I think the product is cheap and not of very good quality. To think full priced adult shirts were costing the best part of £50 is astonishing for the poor quality material. I much preferred the Nike gear. Even if it felt we were an afterthought, the shirt had the right colours, the right badge and felt like quality. Even Diadora and Hummel made better products, and you wouldn't consider them an 'elite' brand. To reitterate, they need to do much better with next seasons kit.

There were loads in there 2 days ago so i'd assume they still have plenty left. Just remember to take the ST card to get them for £10.

I can't believe how poor quality the shirts are.

I would have taken it back if it wasn't a tenner.

I want Nike back, These are the worse kits Villa have EVER had. :-(

If not pop into sports direct - loads there for £9.99 as well as online.

How long is the deal we've signed with Macron? 'Too long' being the obvious answer I know...
