Next season's kits

[CT Villan]

The green one looks like a cheap plastic shopping bag.

I’ve never heard of Castore. I’d never heard of Henson either, and wish I still hadn’t.

The entire design process, for all 5 shirts, must have taken the crack Castore designers most of the afternoon.

Let’s hope they are paying us a fortune & we improve sufficiently to get a big boy supplier next.

Not if they're going to treat us as shabbily as the last time we had "a big boy supplier", thanks.

[darren woolley]

I like them.

[Villan82]

I like those kits, especially the home. Nice, simple, classic villa kit.

I haven't liked the kits over the years that add in bells and whistles- the nike chequered squares, the awful Diadora pink effort, some of the mid-late 80s efforts just aren't villa kits for me, not a huge fan of the striped  home ones. I only like the 1994 kit because we won something in it and I only like the Luke kit because we got promoted in it (I didn't like it at first as it was our third year in Division 2 and seemed like a throwback to the aforementioned terrible 80s kits).

Edit, I do miss the days of having a kit for two seasons- 1995-97 being the last kit we had for two seasons in a row.

Interesting you see a green one. I see blue, black/yellow, claret and blue then the two goalie kits, orange and yellow. Have we our own "what colour is the dress?" kit?

[Villafirst]

I'd like to see an Adidas or Puma design. Castore? Never heard of them.

[Bad English]

This looks like the result of your nan's kitchen smock having sex with a drayman's apron.

I’ve never heard of Castore. I’d never heard of Henson either, and wish I still hadn’t.

In fairness, he did a good job with the Muppets, and we played like them when we wore it.

[LeeB]

I'd be happy if they wore the same shirt for 10 years, as long as it's a claret body with blue arms and the socks are blue. Any changes in the sock colour almost always means a season of struggle ahead.

Not a fan of the sky blue away top though, it's a bit too West Hammy

[ChicagoLion]

If that is the home shirt , it gets my vote.

[Drummond]

Now I've got the theme tune going round in my head. Bastard.

[villa `cross the mersey]

Looks like the type of gear you would find in Matalan - cheap, nasty and not at all classy - the Castore badge looks naff

[Risso]

The home shirt does at least look like a Villa shirt, but as Clive says it does look a bit cheap and nasty. Not much thought seems to have gone into it, but then the whole Castore setup seems a bit suspect to me.

Agree with this.

Having said that, it's just a snapshot in poor lighting rather than a marketing shot showing it off at it's best.
