I think it was Benjamin Franklin who once wrote, “There are 3 certainties in life, death, taxes and Aston Villa to be the last team to release their new kit accompanied with the inevitable stock issues.”
Mid August launch allegedly
Quote from: VinnieChase84 on July 27, 2020, 11:14:34 PMMid August launch allegedly Basically, the only thing that has enabled us to get the kit out before the start of the season is the existence of a global pandemic causing a near total breakdown in society as we know it.And even then it's only "launch", no doubt it'll be Christmas before they let people spend 50 quid on something knocked together for 3 quid by some nimble fingered eight year old in a death-trap factory in Bangladesh.It's amazing - doesn't matter who owns the club, who the CEO is, who makes the kit, who distributes it, all that, it makes zero difference, we're always incapable of making it possible for people to buy this tat when they want to buy it.

Why can't you just say it like it is please? Flip sake!(You're ranting has been pretty good just recently, although Axl Rose's still makes me laugh)

Not the bar code type, but proper stripes.Newcastle have gone to what I consider proper stripes and it looks so much better.You may not like the new Inter kit then. Not 100% sure on the home one yet but like the other 2.http://www.footballshirtculture.com/Kit-design/inter-milan-2020-21-home-away-and-third-kit-predictions.htmlAlso really like the new Dumbarton kit.https://www.dumbartonfootballclub.com/news/?mode=view&id=4390

It is a shame that we can't be a bit more reliable.
