It's on display at t' village

You mean in a portacabin or tent ? Thought 22nd was the day they were starting to demolish ticket office and shop ?
Whilst they continue to add grey cladding to outside of north stand to spruce it up
No.Inside.

Do you get any 'Villa cash' or anything with a season ticket to use on a shirt? Want to buy my nephew one.

I went to the store to see the kit in real life

Nice home kit - although £85 for the "Elite" shirt is a bit steep - but colours look good

Away kit - I always like the away's but this left me a bit underwhelmed - its nowhere near as vivid as the mock up ones we all saw.

3rd kit - no sign of it

Keepers - black short sleeves??? With a squiggle pattern on the shoulders

Overall the marketing has been awful - I know it has to pander to the yoof but if that's what the kids are into God help all of us

It looks more like it has been acid washed than cladding

Agreed, the whole launch has been a botch job.

The plus for me was how quickly they got the deliveries out (at least in my case - came overseas in 3 days, dispatched before the official launch day too).

Hopefully next year we get this right - earlier launch, less fecking about with random models and Michael Bay cinematography.

The kits are fine. Not spectacular. Luke's effort was better, and slightly better quality too.

To me next year is the test for this not this. Coming into this summer I imagine a lot hinged on which division we were in. As much as the kit launch is important there were lots of other pressing needs to address with the existing staff. I would hope and expect that we will be better equipped in all areas including qualified manpower to make many of our marketing activities PL quality in 2020.

Didappointingly (having got first ST in years) no, I asked on the phone and as it’s now outsourced, so no discounts. It’s run by kitbag so you are cheaper to order from their site direct and get a 10% off as new customer.

I've seen a few people on Facebook saying to check the back of the shirts as some have an imprint of the badge on the back.

I’ve always found shirts come up way too big, eg a Medium in some brands might have been plenty big enough, whereas my Large is just ok, never ordered XL in my life but would have probably been a bit more roomy for this. So go larger than you think, was what I learned earlier in the thread...
