I noticed that the 1997/98 "Collymore" away shirt has been added to the retro range. I coveted that shirt at the time but had to make do with the home jersey that year.

It's a pity Villa can't use the manufacturer's logo on most of the retro shirts (Reebok in this case, Hummel for the 87/88 ones). Not that I'm overly keen on being a walking advertisement, but it just looks like something is missing and also a bit incongruous when the main sponsor is there across the chest.
Yeah, I've been tempted by them, but the lack of manufacturers logo puts me off. They just don't look quite right. Tho tbh through the years I've worn less and less official club merchandise, now its just down to a thin claret & blue scarf with "Aston Villa, Coca Cola Cup Final 1994" on. Pride and joy, that is.

It just doesn't feel right without the logo on.

I guess this isn't going to be the one year out of every twenty when the kit's on sale before the end of summer.

It’s a bit odd that very few clubs have announced their new kits this year.

Could we keep the same kit?

We could. But given that we like money, it's unlikely.

Ah, the good old days when we usually kept a kit for two years.

i think they should go back to changing kits every 2 years but alternate with home and away i still think they would make a lot of £

The club have been selling replicas shirts for about £15 recently, so I doubt it.

I got one for £15. I don't mind paying that for one.

I was thinking that most clubs may be waiting for England to crash out of the Euros before they put the new strips on sale. If they go out now, they’re competing (mostly) with England merch and it might not be the best time for them to go on sale. Fresh and exciting once England’s euro campaign is done and dusted. Just a theory.

The boys should be revealing the new kits tomorrow then!

Maybe we’re waiting to see if Jack will be appropriate for the launch photo shoot ?

A friend of my son was doing a photo shoot for the new kit last Thursday. So imagine it's a little way off before they are revealed.

I wish they would get the kits out earlier.
