Another awful cheap and tacky Macron effort.

Another moany post.

In fairness Lee, the club have let us down again by not insisting on the use of gold thread and the finest silk, hand stitched and woven by skilled Italian craftsmen.

Faulkner out. Again

Macron must be the only Italian clothing manufacturer without any style.

Oh, I dunno about that, have you seen the state of some of that Stone Island guff wannabe retro hooligans still wear?

Is Stone Island Italian? Didn't know that.
Macron is up there with Bill Stunt Jeans when it comes to tackiness though. The sooner we give them the push the the better. Rubbish like that shouldn't be associated with a club as grand as Aston Villa. It's beneath us.

Better off with some multi-national child slave labour drivers instead.

I'd be surprised if Macron manufactured their kits anywhere other than in a cheap labour market in the Far East. Just like Nike and co.

I agree, Macron has all the class of Joe Bloggs jeans, and I haven't really liked most of the stuff they've come up with. They seem to be able to make nice kits for Lazio but not for us.

However, this one looks alright to me.

Moaning about the kit, though, with the way things are at the moment, the amount of uncertainty, seems a bit pointless. It's hard to care too much one way or the other.

My brother emailed that he does not like it as it looks like a shirt the David Brent character in The Office would wear.

I conducted a straw poll of lunchtime customers in the pub and they were generally favourable. A typical response was "functional with a touch of luxury".  It was felt that thin vertical stripes are flattering to fat persons and that the neckline would allow adequate ventilation.

your moaning is becoming white noise SH. Every so often if you threw in a bit of happiness you're other criticism might stand out a bit more. You've been told on numerous occasions that there are many of us, including myself that agree with what you say about the club. It's just everything you say is so radically negative and almost never complimentary or positive. I would be willing to bet that everyone here just knew you'd hate the kit, whatever it was because you had made up your mind beforehand that whatever  Randy or Faulkner do must be shit. It isn't, and once in a while it would be nice if you could either see that, or if you don't like don't comment on it and bring yet another thread down to a commentary on how dark the clouds are.

Kits are all about opinions and I accept not everyone is going to like it, but is it really so bad to have made the comments you have?

You make it sound like I've insulted you for calling the new kit rubbish.

I really like it can't wait to see the away one.

Do we know what colour it will be?

Rumoured to be white, with claret pinstripes.

SH's moaning posts remind me of the voting by neighbouring countries in Eurovision. You know what's coming and you're not surprised.

I've just noticed there doesn't seem to be those awful Macron emblems on the shoulders on the new kit. A slight improvement I suppose.

The Macron stuff is okay, quality seemed better last season so hopefully that will continue this one. However, where the fuck are we on their page!

Well it's hard to find anything controversial about them, and at least they bother designing us our own kit, and in time for the new season.
