Technically the lion should be gold, but in a digital world that doesn’t work.

For me it has to stay gold. I wouldnt want the lion going back claret. Its been gold throughout our premier league era and thats how it should stay

Obsessing over "the Premier League era" is about as plastic as it gets. The best badge is the round one. The lion on the round one is claret. Ergo, the lion should be claret. Yellow is a rubbish colour.

I think it's more Demitri's age. He has only known that era.

I never saw Dennis Mortimer play but I still prefer him to Mark Kinsella.

Well obviously we'd have to conduct a poll to get to the bottom of that but indeed.  The round badge is a thing of beauty but at my age I would say that. I also want Umbro diamonds running down the arms of our sleeves.

Could we have a claret and blue African Car Reverser with the motto ' Unprepared ' underneath?

Who's your favourite player that you've never seen play?

That's worthy of its own thread, anyway: Billy Walker.

Couldn't get a visa Riss!  It stems from the brainwashing I got from my old man, he loved Billy Walker and to hear, not only him but his mates and my uncles , talk about him, he must have been some player.  It's been with me all my Villa life.

Archie Hunter. Arguably our most important ever player. At the risk of setting this thread off on a tangent from a tangent.

What colour Umbro diamond would you choose for the chest? I always preferred the yellow one to the white one.

He was my nan's favourite player too, would guess she'd have been the same sort of age as your dad etc.
