New kit and commercials - (now with added poll)

[CT]

2nd away shirt that has "bobbles" all over it with very little wear. Very poor quality, our under 9s shirts that Macron do are much better - why??

The staff at the Village were excellent in swapping the first one, so hopefully they will be again!

La Hoya Lorca's away kit for this season, based on broccoli apparently.

Does anyone know how long the current deal with Macron runs for? I was so disappointed with last years shirt basically falling apart after 10months that I didnt get the shirt this year (I still wear my previous 4 nike shirts to the gym, for football, even travelled the world in the acorns one and use it for signatures now it is still  in such good nick)

Id love us to team up with Adidas. Have we ever had a shirt made by them?

I've read that on internet :

The new Aston Villa 14-15 Kits will again be made by the Italian Kit manufacture Macron. They signed a four-years deal in 2012 worth £15 million until 2016.

And I don't think Adidas as ever made a kit for Villa no, personnaly I am not really impressed by the Macron shirts, the Dafabet sponsor logo is ugly though, but I think it could be worse. Adidas or Nike would probably be better, but I personnaly find it kinda hard to imagine villa with an adidas shirt.

Yeah, they dont quite get it do they? The Macron deal is good financially and yes, they get the kits out nice and quick, but they really are of a toss standard (speaking from experience of owning last years, not sure if this years has improved) Also Dafabet were probably the ost lucrative sponsor but its a big, ugly logo and seriously, who the fuck are dafabet anyway? some poxy chinese online bookmakers? They just dont get it.

[exiled on the wirral!]

I really like the design of the shirts..especially the away one, its just the actual quality of the shirts are so bad, it lets Macron down badly so i wont be buying another Villa short while Macron make them.

Macron are gash.  That said, the Napoli kits are decent...anything like those would be good

The last Nike kit was junk and they treated us like shit in delivering the product on time. I'm sure that when if we were more high profile they'd treat us differently (better), but irrespective of that you don't treat a paying client that way. Puma seem to have a lot of identical kit designs out in the market, and Adidas might look a bit odd. Macron might not be a household name but they'd at least delivered on time and their designs have been good overall. Nothing special I admit. And I imagine they offered the most which is key.

Whilst what you say is true, the quality of Macrons kits have been very poor. A poor product delivered on time is still a poor product.

Not as bad as our Green, Black and Red away top in the 90's

The quality of last season's Macron kit was really poor, transfers coming off after 1 wash etc, but I've found this year's to be a lot better.

My 2007/08 kit is still in perfect nick. My 2013-14 Macron is starting to fray a wee bit and, while the design is a big improvement on the previous year, the colours are way off.When I place the macron kit beside the 2007/08 one the difference in colour is quite stark.

[supertom]

I don't think we've had a decent kit since Acorns to be honest.

I agree. The material used for that kit is still holding up and very nice to wear. I suppose they make the material for the players where they will wear numerous versions of the same throughout the season. It's made to help their performance so to speak, not made for kids and fat blokes trying to look the part.

Macron kits are cheap tat. Everything about them look pure rotten.
