Who decided that players modelling their new kits shouldn't smile?

Does anyone know if you can get names and numbers printed at the shop up town or do you have to go to Villa Park for that?

Facebook update from the club about a sponsorship with a company called flannels who will provide matchday suits, etc.  The post has a link to the news section of the official site but clicking it takes you to the page about the germany tour so i felt the need to reply with:

"I can't be the only one that finds it quite amusing that the link at the top of a message about a partnership with Flannels currently takes you to a news story about Lambert expecting the tour to be extremely tough.  I guess he's planning on making them sweat!"

Sad I admit but it made me smile.

Seems a load of flannel to  me -


Aston Villa is pleased to announce our new partnership with Flannels, the UK's largest independent fashion retail store and our new Official Formal Wear Supplier.

Flannels has established a strong reputation for excellence, specialising in luxury menswear and women's designer collections from leading British and international brands.

The company has rapidly grown from a single store in Cheshire to a chain of stores in leading UK cities including Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool, Nottingham and Cardiff.

Flannels will be providing made-to-measure match day suits for the first team squad, coaching staff and senior Club officials.

Aston Villa Chief Executive Paul Faulkner said: "This partnership helps set the tone on a match day in terms of players, management, coaching staff and senior Club officials all looking the part and reflecting something essential about the character that makes Aston Villa the unique and special institution it is.

"The reputation of Flannels is well-earned and the excellence they strive for matches perfectly the high standards and the values intrinsic in the Club.

"We're very much looking forward to a strong, productive partnership with the match day suits becoming emblematic of what we all fully intend to be an exciting, compelling season ahead."

Flannels managing director Neil Prosser added: "This is an exciting opportunity to work with Aston Villa FC and we are determined to deliver a high quality service of suit and develop the on-going relationship with the club."

It's a decent shop, Flannels. We've come a long way since the days of Ciro Shiterio.

Yes, but I bet their training gear and tops are to die for. Macron out!
