Close the competition.  I am a genius (not my shirt, but awesome microsoft paint skills to add the badge - which was also not mine except for the star bit)

Simply beautiful, I'd certainly buy that. You Sir, are a genius!!

Apart from the sleeves, colour, collar and cuff detail, badge and gaudy pattern, that's ok.

I will put you down for 2

Don't forget about the cat playing with the swing toy.  #Thestarmustgo.

When I first seen it I thought it was the shirt + one of those undergarments some wear these days.

That is not an Aston Villa kit. That is not Aston Villa.

Goes against the grain, but I like it.

It's got a bit of the old gable effect going on with the collar as well.

Wouldn't want us to ditch the blue sleeves every season, but done well (as per 2018/19) it can work.

All I did was very crudely put the badge on someone elses shirt design.  I didn't do it because I liked the shirt, I was just being lazy and adapting his designs - but it does show to me that I really like the stand alone lion.

The original blokes design was this - but I didn't like the angular look of the AV


   

so credit to this guy on twitter for the original:

Looks like the Chelsea badge from the early 80s. Its a no from me.

[Weedy]

Roundel vs Shield - all the elements enclosed with claret lettering and blue lion.
Different background to show how distinct they are.

[Apologies for the poor curved lettering on the roundels]

I’ve no doubt it will end up resembling the round badge of the 70s because that would be the popular choice, but it’ll be a bit of a shame to waste this opportunity.
Was the round badge really that good? It didn’t feel like it at the time, and I think a lot of it’s current popularity is because it was such a successful period we all look back on so fondly. And it’s helped by the fact that so much crap has followed it (both on the pitch and with the badges). There are so many similar ones around, the club name around a circle is the bog standard option if buying a junior team’s strip.
I’m not convinced we’ve ever had a great badge, but then very few football clubs have. Like all the worst designs in life football club badges tend to be designed by committee and in trying to please the majority they fall way short of actually looking good.
I’d be bold and forget what’s gone before, but I know I’d be very much in the minority with that opinion.
So if a rampant lion truly is the image we must always keep to then spend the money on getting it drawn so well that however and wherever it’s reproduced it still looks like a rampant pissing lion.

The white back within the badge looks wrong for me.

Very true.  I definitely want to keep the Lion though.
