New kit and commercials - (now with added poll)

As a training top it's different. As a football shirt it's utter gash.

I think if you changed the collar to claret, and got rid of the horrible pale yellow bit, it would be quite nice.

ouch!

A Lion doing the Mash potato underwater?
No thanks.

I thought you'd appreciate the mane, though.

My favourite kits are the AST Computer ones, especially the 1995/96 home and (dark navy) away. I also like the away kit Collymore held up in his Villa Park photos the day he signed. I used to have those kits but can't find them now. Hopefully they will be available on Villa Direct.

Agreed. This my first ever Villa kit and I've still got it somewhere. I thought Reebok did a great job on it.

It was only years later that i noticed the columns of Villa lions running down it! Loved it even more!

The white Reebok kit with the turquoise AST and the claret knitted collar was my favourite kit, superb that was.  Third kit wasn't it?

The Lion's not even juggling a star.

Yep, surely there's no way having gone to lengths they did to create the new badge and add the star that they will be producing a shirt, training or otherwise with it not being on display.

[Slaphead]

I want one

[MoetVillan]

it starts off badly, tails off in the middle and the less said about the bottom the better

Anyone seen the palaver over the new Everton crest? The Latin maxim ''Only the best will do'' has been obliterated.

According to an Everton fan I'm working with, the club inadvertantly let the copyright lapse on the old crest meaning that they could no longer use it.....

Much like they forgot to offer Dan Gosling a new contract so he ended up leaving for Newcastle on a free.

They've apologised to the fans for not consulting them and that they will do so next season as it's too late to change plans for 13/14 now. So now the supporters know that all the new merch they buy will be dated this time next year.

Isn't it vaguely ironic that their marketing department who make much of their 'people's club' tag then go and prove how much they actually don't give a flying fish for 'the people's ' opinion?

[PeterWithesShin]

The new badge does look crap. Looks like some kid did it on Paint. I wouldn't be happy if I was an Everton fan.

And I did love this comment on one of the articles about it. Well it amused me anyway.

"The peoples club...you couldn't make this up!!! Yet more priceless comedy from our bitter neighbours!!!!
