I think the home Muller shirt in 1994 was atrocious and not keen on any of our yellow kits.

The yellow and blue kit that we began wearing in 1969 was one of my favourites but I haven't liked the yellow ones since.

What a picture. Never seen that one before. It's just so evocative of that era and helps imagine how earlier photos taken at that end in black and white must have been in reality. Does that make sense?

It's a vibrant colour photo at a part of Villa Park that wouldn't have changed a lot from the time that shot was taken right back to the early 1920s when the Trinity Road Stand was built.

It looks like Alan from Two And A Half Men.

Henson kits, home and away. Shit kits, shit football, shit results.

agree with that
Me as well. As an impressionable teen I owned the home kit but I cringe at the thought of it now. I don't think any other kit we've had comes close and the fact they were equally as gash as the other means they are the worst, despite some pretty decent efforts at crapness. For instance, the use of stripes in the FA Cup season or the purple, Diadora/NTL effort.

I was never that keen on any if the NTL shirts - wrong colours and the sponsor was garish compared to the claret and blue.

The 99-00 stripes was okay, I think, but what used to brass me off was that the players all wore a top three sizes too big so it looked cumbersome and unflattering. Not your typical complaint, but there it is.

Alan Wright wore a small boys and it still looked cumbersome...

The 'missing man' is Graeme Leggatt, youth team coach, who resigned when the Doc was sacked.

The Hummel 87-89 kit was horrible, as were the Muller, but I quite like a horrible kit. They're two of my favourites. I weirdly really loved the Muller away kit, for it's unapologetic ghastliness. One hideous one I never took to was Cows, with the sleeve arrows. Not a good look.

First kit I had, the best and my favourite. Mita Copiers in 90-92 kit. Loved it.

In my opinion our last decent kit was Acorns in 09/10. Also our last decent season too. Next season, good kit, good season. Fingers crossed.

Hummel from around 1988, SGT and all that, thin pink stripes.

If I remember right, Sir Graham said when he arrived "We're getting rid of THAT first chance I get."

I loved that one. I've still got it folded up in a drawer somewhere.

My least favourite is the old fashioned lace type one which came out in the early 90's. I thought it was awful.
