Wearing Villa shirts out

[JUAN PABLO]

never. I let my son wear it  .   Makes me proud

[nevillain]

 I always wear it out. Just looks ridiculous tucked in 

[Smirker]

Got the European 82 winning shirt fully signed by the whole squad, I wear it on the night of the 26th may every year I know that sounds cheesy but I just can't help slipping it on and let my mind drift back all those years to that night in Rotterdam

It does but it made me laugh.

If we were to win the European Cup again do you think it would top Rotterdam?

The 5th probably will.

Why, is it one of those player issue slim fit ones?

Sometimes wear one at the gym or when playing football.

Used to make me smile when I'd go to the villa non match day. There would always be someone in a villa top.

Tommy Johnson was once asked a question,  do you wear your top at home. He replied no, but I know a fellow teammate who does.  I'm sure it was on one of the videos.

Only a retro one. Over the age of 30 it's probably best to give it up.

I thought this thread was going to be about washing instructions to preserve one's purchases.

Still emotionally scarred by the Hummel Chevron Catastrophe.

When a teen in the 70's people wearing replica stuff were considered strange - have never worn a Villa shirt but was bought a smart claret t-shirt with crest for Xmas but I am too much of a wimp to wear just that in this weather. Goes on underneath the layers.

[Broughty-Villian]

never wear/buy 'new' replica shirts, but have a 80/81 and a 82 euro that I wear out and about, and a very nice blue one with very subtle year and aston villa on it. had a few fans of other teams tell me its smart (Im a scruff btw).

[Smirker]

I wear them. Don't care what anyone else thinks I love our kits. Our replicas are generally smart. I have a player issue 2007/8 away shirt, it's the white Nike one that has blue pinstripes on it, and our current home one.

Would love the mita copiers white away one from the late 80s as that was my first replica given to me by a cousin but lost it years ago

And the last Nike home shirt we had. Fucking hard to find that now but it's a really nice top. Bastards.

To put it like this was your first pint the best was your first car no matter how bad it was the best and was your first shag the best in my view yes yes yes a magical night that will be always be in my mind cause it was like my pint ,shag and car the first it's in the history books and know one can ever change that. Just so hope another generation can one day re-live what we went through

Cheers PBP. Hope I see us win it in my lifetime. I'm 24.

I think to win it now with the way the game has changed would be a bigger achievement than the first to be honest. You never know though, things can change quickly in football. Nobody would have thought Greece could win the Euros or Bradford make the cup final. That's the only bit of hope I cling to.

I hope you do to
Imagine how I felt as a 10 year old walking down witton lane with my grandad when we had been relegated to the old 3rd division. Then just over 10 years later watching super Dennis lift that cup. Who could of seen that one coming definitely not me.
So always cling to the hope that it will happen cause that is what my grandad told me the stepping stones of wembley 71 and the league cup win of 75 and the magical team of gray Cropley and little deehan etc just made you think that something magical was on the horizon.
 You never know in 30 years time you might be writing this post to another generation of villa fans keep I hope you do mate.
