Let's hope we're not just a tad naive about the fact he's a Villa fan.He's a bloke and he designs stuff. People will still love it or hate it; who he supports isn't really relevant.

The physical quality of it also counts, but you haven't included that.

Personally i want to see a different design. Things need freshening up so it's time to change the tired old design. Obviously the same colours, but how much longer can it be justified to charge premium for what is near enough the same design it's been since around 2001.
So now we're arguing about how shit a design it is before we've even seen it.
