Same as Risso and Rory, the 95-96 home is my favourite ever!
Quote from: Axl Rose on May 29, 2022, 03:15:23 AMSame as Risso and Rory, the 95-96 home is my favourite ever!I bought it at the time but it's very 90s. The two I mentioned earlier have aged much better.
That 2001/02 was probably the nadir. To manage to have a shirt that wasn't claret or blue, FFS.
I've got a wardrobe full of loads of Villa shirts here in Tokyo. I'm actually wearing the 2001-02 home shirt as I type this.

Those first two Diadora kits used a horrific shade of "claret" and weren't helped by the garish NTL logo. Did like the all black away kit in 2000-01 though.
Where do you sit on away kits, cd? I mostly think they can do what they like, but my recent least favourite was the purple and white quarters thing. Just so badly put together, it was awful. Lerner's obsession with checks was a bit odd as well.
I'm similar, do what you like with the away kit. I rarely buy them so not sure on things like the fit or the stitch, just basing opinions on how they look. I didn't mind the quartered one though I shared your aversion to the weird checks we kept having down the side of the kits. The Rotterdam kit is clearly the greatest away effort. I think my favourite away kits during my time watching were the two white and black Mita-sponsored ones at the end of the 80s/start of the 90s. The only ones I really hate (not counting when we had to dress as Small Heath for the odd game back in the day) were the 83-84 hoops mess or the 85-87 mustard monstrosity. Luckily both were, just about, before my time.http://www.historicalkits.co.uk/Aston_Villa/Aston_Villa-change-kits.html
