New kit and commercials - (now with added poll)

[Mazrim]

The 70s/80s round one please, slappers.

Sorry fellas but I like the badge except that it doesn't have Aston Villa on it.

When I buy Aston Villa I wil be sure to correct it.

This, I think it's OK when you look at some of the modernised crests other teams have got. Ours is just an updated version of something we had years ago. The lion against a sky blue background had been done:



Our current badge is better than the one we had through the 90's and most of the 00's. Not particularly bothered about 'Aston Villa' not being on it, some of the biggest clubs in the world only have acronyms on their crest, Barcelona, Inter Milan, Real Madrid, Dortmund, Porto, Benfica and AC Milan to name just a few.

Personally I would go back to the rounded shield if I had a choice, although no star.

it's not a big deal to me. Put a great product on the pitch and the badge issue becomes irrelevant.

This X 10 (but replace product with team)

Same goes for the kit.

I'd even go as far as replacing the Lion Rampant with Malandro's dog if we were to get a league winning side.

Where would we be without a debate about the badge?  Jesus!

Sorry, just wanted to clarify, reason I said product is that a good team that doesn't produce won't do. I recall during the QPR match thread someone saying that QPR's team on paper was better than ours, but as they showed clearly to everyone they were shit. Same way that I think a lot of people would take Man City's team over Man U's but in terms of end product it wasn't even close. I want to be able to relate to the players and have them play with a style and attitude we can all get behind. Ultimately one that produces and delivers results.

My favourite away was a white one with diagonal stripe on it

I prefer the one that's third from the left. A little subtle updating and that would look best for me.

You can tell a Villa supporter's age by what they say the proper badge is.

[peter w]

That's kind of what the new one is. And why my dad likes it.

[Matt C]

Without kit changes, Doug and MON we'd have nothing to talk about.

It isn't the concept behind the current badge that I don't like. I don't mind the colours, I don't mind the shield shape, I don't really mind the AVFC too much (although that poll they did for it was the worst designed poll I've ever seen).

In fact, the concept of it was better than that of the one it replaced.

It is the execution of it that I don't like. It looked like a junior designer twatted it out on MS Paint in his lunch break. A junior designer with an abysmal selection of fonts.
