You can have a really decent looking kit and then you have the shittest eyesore possible. Sponsors like Flamingo Land on Hull's kit in massive letters. That must be a real downer.

If a shirt must be an advertising hoarding, I'd much rather it be a local-ish business relevant to many of the fanbase and one that doesn't come with too many moral dilemmas.  Given the choice of something equivalent to Flamingo Land, let's say Drayton Manor Park, or an online gambling concern, I'd want the former.

Blimey, they milked the sponsorship for that team snap!

Or my personal favourite:

Good old MG Maestro, I had one in the early 90's. 0-60 in 2 days and torque that couldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding!

Loved that kit and the away one!

My first ever kit,plus I ended up with a two time hand me down Maestro, its probably still running to this day.

My Dad had a Maestro.  He got rid after it broke down on the way to the Man City game in 94.  It was snowing and I think Saunders missed a penalty.

I remember my Dad borrowing his bosses MG Maestro for the weekend, as a youngster I was particularly taken with the digital speedometer which was unique at the time. I think we got it into double figures on one run.

See, that's the sort of organisation and discipline we have been lacking at Villa Park recently...look how well those cars are lined up!

Here is a photo of the latest preparations for the new kit sponsor shots...

[Deano's Mullet]

I remember for the first ten games or so of 1993-94 we had no sponsor on the striped shirts and the club still sold them sponsorless until it was announced we were going with Muller. As a kid having Mita Copiers on the shirt felt like it was part of our identity, like it was a part of Villa just as JVC was always Arsenal and Sharp was Man Yoo. The players changed, the shirt designs changed but Mita was always there.

[Hopadop]

I remember thinking when I was a wee lad that Mita was actually something quite important to Aston Villa. I didn't realise it was only a sponsor.

How could Mita not be something important, when so prominent on the official photo:

Check out the manspreading going on in the front row. Those boys were not giving an inch.

But as usual there's a price to be paid for such behaviour, and it's poor Chris Price who's paying it.

That just looks like a standard Chinese car park
