Christ, the Macron training stuff is actually quite nice. What the hell has happened to them? Got high hopes for the actual kits now.

Sad bastard alert, but when Tonev signed I zoomed in to the picture to look at the material of the training top he had on and it was that mesh looking material that we had on the first Nike, Acorns sponsored kit a few seasons back. By far the best material in recent years which I sincerely hope they have used on the new kits also. Off course I am bound to be wrong.

Yeah I zoomed in as well. Quite like the look of Tonev's shirt even though it was a bit too like what something West Ham would serve up. All the others I've seen look very nice though.

I'm actually a bit jealous of West Ham and their adidas deal. Villa with the three stripes would be preferable over the symbol of a man drowning.

Once again I'll not be forking out £45+ for a replica shirt with a fucking betting company on it. AGAIN!

If we sign a player with the money we get from said company, will you refuse to cheer for him on principal?

Unless they are stunning looking, I'll just wait until the end of the season and hope they go down to a tenner again.

I've seen two tops that i like. I did'nt like any of the casual or training wear they did last season.

That's because last season's stuff looked like they were designed by some chav on Northfield high street. Credit where it's due, a vast improvement.

The modern Adidas kits look awful in my opinion. Three stripes would ruin the shirt. I made a quick mock up of the style Adidas are good at with the old Villa crest:



If they made kits like that, fair enough. But Adidas manufacture for too many shit teams now and have lost their prestige. Stoke, Sunderland, Swansea, Derby? I'd rather have Macron, honestly.

I thought both the Swansea kits last season were both excellent. Simple and classic designs.

I don't see what's so good about Adidas?

I'd rank the current manufacturers: Umbro > Puma > Adidas > Nike > all the smaller companies like Joma, Macron, Errea and so on.

I don't like the white. Villa's colours are claret and blue. Period. Those West Ham kits, and some of the mock ups I have seen, contain a lot of white.

Ah. Just qualified with the source. Ooh it could have been purple. Sure about the  quadrants though.

Do we all know this all ready?
