Where art thou new Villa kit

[Legion]

I like the kits. Especially the Home one. Not too keen on the text-style. Childish.

Love the home kit, best one for ages, a proper Villa strip

Yep agree. The design is isn't fussy and the collar is very good and caps it off. Especially after that hideous effort in the first year. I might even get the yellow away, though I said that last year too about the white and didn't bother.

Villans is correct.

Like the home shirt. A nod to the 80/81 season and indeed to the Umbro shirts from 1975 onwards to 1981. The spelling of Villans without the "i" is the correct one.

Not keen on the yellow - reminds me of a bad day at Wembley at the end of May! Plus I do not think yellow has been that lucky. Didn't we lose an FA Cup quarter final at Anfield in the 90s wearing a yellow kit, which was then promptly binned. I would prefer an all white with c&b trimmings as the away kit.

An interesting web site to browse is www.historicalkits.co.uk
Mildly surprised at how many clubs have worn claret and blue strips at one time or another in their history. But no club in Scotland as far as I could see.

On the back of the home shirt collar it says Villans, should it not be Villains like this website.

When I began following Villa in the mid 70's our nickname was always written as The Villans. The additional i seems to have crept in more & more over the last 40 years so that Villains has now become the most common spelling. I was surprised when I discovered this site by the use of the version with an I.

There is an explanation somewhere. I will see if I can find it.

The whole thing, for me, was totally embarrassing.
I watched the whole horrible affair from 5.05pm.
I subscribe to AVTV(hd) and it was just humiliating.
We have been made a laughing stock by our ineptitude.

I am so pissed off right now

[Toronto Villa]

Ah we're a "laughing stock". That has to be some kind of record considering we are only in early July.

[in exile]

I take it you didn't see the avtv coverage?

[Toronto Villa]

Yes. It was poor. It doesn't make us a laughing stock. Do you think anyone other than Villa fans were watching that or care even a fraction of a percent at our kit launch?

What went wrong ?

Did he say that Aston Villa is a laughing stock? And if he did, were you quick to remind him that a national TV audience saw us batter his expensively assembled team at Wembley?

I'm not sure why you'd be pissed off about it though.
