Is 32Red still our sponsor next season? I haven’t seen anything in the original announcement suggesting it was more than the one year.

Original announcement below, no mention of it being more than a year.

Why have we never gone back to Umbro since the early 90s? I think they are up there with the best for football kits. That black and white Mita away one was mint!
Don’t look at the new West Ham kits then - both Umbro and both very nice uses of the colours they’ve stolen!! Particularly the away kit that we will see when they visit Villa Park!

The home kit is horrid and the away kit is a direct copy of ours from the season just ended!

Agree that Wham home kit is disgusting. Away is nice but it's... White. With claret trim. Not hard.

The away one is nice. Stick a
Villa badge on it and I’m guessing 95% of us would be happy with it.

The home one is gash. It looks a bit like an attempt to rip off the 80/81 admiral one, which I always thought was a good one for them.

Whatever Kappa dish up, can’t say I’m too excited by the prospect. The Luke kits this season were very well done, but I guess it all comes
Down to dollars in the end. As many have said, if they have it on sale before the start of the season, it will be a bonus for a lot of people.

Bound to have the kappa logo cheaply transferred on to the arms that peels off after three washes

They are both taking inspiration from their Admiral kits of 79/80 in order to mark 40 years since they won the Cup as a Second Division club. 

Just a pity they couldn't have gone a step further and played the anniversary season in the second tier.

This report suggests its a three year deal.

I know it's been discussed on here many times before, but why is it that our kit is always released so late in the summer? It happens every time. The big clubs generally all release them early, but so do many other clubs as well. Surely people (although not me) would want to buy them for their summer holidays. It feels like we are missing out on sales.

That one is top drawer which means it won’t be anything like it. Maybe a bit more blue on the sleeves but very solid.

Looks more like training gear than a Villa shirt so hope the actual shirt is nothing like that. Would love it if they surprised us and brought the old badge back.

The sponsor looks fuxking awful, especially that big 'W', thought was reserved for Wanky Wolverhampton Wanderers.
