It's definitely not our traditional claret. It's not purple either. It's clarple.

Then we need to have a word with the club and tell them we want proper claret not clarple

I think that's stating the obvious.  Could be the best made shirt in the world  but the colour is wrong. Have a good day

Look at a Burnley shirt. That is claret.

Every year people moan about the shade of claret. It's perfectly fine. Some people just like moaning.

I reserve the right to quibble over inconsequential details in less than serious topics.

Maybe people just disagree with you? That doesn't make it moaning. "It's perfectly fine" is a subjective statement.

I think you'll find I'm an authority on moaning!

In Birmingham today, popped into the Villa Park shop to buy the claret polo shirt. Out of stock. Assistant had no idea  when more would be in. Disappointed when half the shop is full of replica kit. Some of us oldies don't want to buy replica kit, so a good stock level of training kit  would surely make sense. For the record first time I have seen the shirt in the flesh. The claret is fine, but the blue is too pale.

Just saw the new home shirt 'live' for the first time. Very nice top. Is it available in Villa colours?

Every photo I see from these pre season friendlies it looks a very light plum colour. Doesn't look right at all.

The claret on the home shirt may not be the right claret according to traditionalists but its a nice sharp colour. I think its more fashionable than the traditional colour. The shirt is really good quality, nice thin, light material. Shame about the away one, I think they over complicated the collar area but I guess they will capture most peoples tastes across the two. I also fit in the small shirt which is a bonus! The proof will be its lastability though, Ive still got Nike shirts that have lasted better than the Macron ones....

Agree.

Just been on their site...they look like us! Except they have proper footballers... they are using "Prepared" as their "slogan"...have they always? Just this season? Have we let them borrow it for a bit until we're back in the Prem?

Cheeky feckers!
