THAT away kit!

[Toronto Villa]

Chuffing 'eck, have the club's commercial department decided to dump-out dodgy away shirts from the past all in one go? They're also selling this:


A classic is back! The Aston Villa Retro Away Shirt from season 83-84 is one of the more fashionable and stylish jerseys worn by the team. The 1983-84 season saw a solid Villa team defeat local rivals West Brom and Wolves at home in First Division and also take on Spartak Moscow and Portuguese side Vitória de Guimarães in the UEFA Cup.

I do like that one.

It looks like something you'd get for 99p out of a basket on the market.

I have the green red and black one but the limited edition league cup final version . Collectors item

many of modern kits feel that way too

I have a soft spot for the 83 away shirt, as we wore it when my dad took me to Old Trafford to see us beat them 2-1.

Anyone remember the all white one the following year?

I have that with Richardson on the back, think my home one from that year had the word yoghurt on underneath Muller, could also be collectable.

For me the worst kit was that yellow third kit we had in BFRs first season.

It had to bad as I bought it at the time and my sartorial taste has somewhat improved since then.

That's rare . My one just says Muller .

There is a version with Asics as the shirt sponsor too, worn on a pre season tour I think. Ultra rare.

That was my first Villa shirt.

Loved it!

Neither were great but the white and yellow '83 one is a lot better than the green, black and red one from '93. At least it is what I class as Villa away colours. I didn't like the black one from a few years back either. I am far happier when the away kit is white or predominantly white. I liked last years and like this years.

Back in the day, I did actually get the original out of a bargin basket in Sportsco in Sutton.  It was a little bit more than 99p mind.  I gave it as a present to an Italian exchange student who was staying with us and he was delighted to have a top of the club who'd been European Champions only a couple of seasons previously.

Did we wear that white and yellow beast the last but one time we won at Old Trafford thanks to Withey? If so, surprised it didn't get a mention in the sales-blurb underneath.

Yes, 2-1

For some reason that white and yellow '83 kit always reminds me of grainy TV footage of Mark Walters scoring in Moscow. I think Colin Gibson got the other in a 2-2 draw.
