Wearing Villa shirts out

[Ads]

I only ever wear it when out shopping with the missus and also only if I have it tucked into the replica shorts, with the replica socks on to.

Lots of people wave at me while I walk around the Trafford Centre, so I assume they think its a good thing.

I have a couple of the retro shirts including the 57 cup final the first two le coq ones and the classic late 70's home shirt.

I received the current home shirt for Christmas this year and whilst it looks ok, it's terrible to wear, especially in the summer of QLD. I wear it in the pool taking my daughter to swimming lessons and that will be it!

At the Adelaide test match I wore the old 70's one and had quite a few people comment on it. At the end of the night we were in a pub and I'd just got a pint in when this Indian security guard came over and told me I couldn't stay and had to leave. When I asked why, he was shifty for a bit and wouldn't answer and then said its because you have a villa shirt on. As I went to protest he cracked a smile and it was then I noticed a guy sitting at a table near the door pointing at a dangling bollocks tattoo on his calf and cracking up laughing.

He came over and we had a bit of a chat and he was actually alright. The funny thing was he pointed to a bloke sitting up by the bar also on his own and said: he's blues too. When I asked why they weren't sitting together he said: we don't get along!! I was laughing and said why not? And he said, he's a right miserable c***!!

IMO unless you are under 13 or at a match absolutely not. Perhaps in a pub watching a match as long as its covered up on leaving premises. The sight of fat middle aged Brits abroad wearing football shirts straining over their gut is a national embarrassment.

Charming - I will be wearing mine on holiday in the canaries with pride !

I wear mine when cycling, skiing (under my ski jacket), hiking or sports days when I am required to compete in teacher-student 5-a-side, football or basketball (I refuse to play handball or egg-chase)

[Simon Ward]

Never wear mine!

This bloke has all the shirts in the world to choose from when selecting his worst ever.......


And he chose one of ours the cheeky sod http://www.football-shirts.co.uk/fans/one-passionate-palermo-fan-reveals-his-universal-shirt-collection_24678

To be fair that grey Villa kit wasn't much cop.

I think they're an absolutely brilliant thing, one of the top aspects of modern thing. It just seems to symbolise a unity between the team and the fans, and particularly in summer, look ace as the ground is literally a sea of claret and Blue.

This picture comes to mind as an example, I'm not sure it'd be such an iconic image without all the fat blokes wearing the Macron.

That's the wallpaper on my work computer. I was at that game as well 

Also my wallpaper at work.  As I've got a dual screen set up the rest of the office are under no illusions where my allegiances lie.  (Previously the outside of the Holte.)

Only wear mine (the FXPro with the checks down the sides,a 40th birthday present from a non-lapsed Holte Ender) for biking to work in the summer.

Match days, nights down the local only. My Villa shorts are worn on a regular basis however. Good for the beach.

Wearing it around Melbourne allows fellow fans to gravitate towards to me and discuss the beautiful game - which is a pleasant distraction from the cricketing shower of shite I've had to endure recently. When Heskey's Newcastle Jets were in town last season, I went to the game in one of my villa numbers and ended up chatting to a group of villa fans who had done the same! Heskey, much like Australian footy in general, was shite that day.

You'll soon have good reason to wear your shirt out.

I was recently given the task of creating the campaign for Cancer Research UK's, Football Shirt Friday. Which naturally meant that there was one shirt that was definitely going to appear. Thanks to the club for giving their consent as well, especially as a number of other teams declined.

Nice idea, great job with the poster!

Nice job. Why would a club decline?
