Something not right with the material, whatever the opposite to breathability is, these shirts have it.

They're horrible to play in. Wore mine for Tuesday night football and it was like wearing a wet piece of clingfilm after about 10 minutes.

Are ours sub standard in comparison to other clubs as I don’t see any other teams players shirts soaked through with sweat after 30 mins every game ?

Watching the German Super Cup and Bayern's kit looks as bad if not worse than ours for it. Adidas.

I purchased one of the quarter zip claret training tops,  I also have the England cricket version. Both made by Castore and about the same price. The villa one just feels thinner and cheaper, pretty disappointing really.

I would imagine their football merch is being made in much larger quantities than their other sports stuff. Maybe they've over reached with it, or are deliberately cutting costs to make more profit.

Without doubt the worst Villa kit I’ve seen in years, looks cheap.

Not an excuse, but that has to effect performance.

How such an insipid design became the preferred choice is quite frankly astonishing.

Must be like running around for 90 mins in a carrier bag. Absolutely garbage kit quality

Surely the same for Newcastle players too?

Exactly.  Wearing a crap kit doesn't make you forget how to defend, or miss good chances.  We're clutching here, folks.

Newcastle are more used to playing in sweaty conditions being a Saudi team.

The other Castore teams don't look like they've sweated out half their body water after 15 minutes of sub 20 degree temperatures.

They can't be much fun to play in.

I care about that sort of thing much more than what badge is on them.

It could just be a colour thing. I used to watch a lot of tennis and wherever a player wore grey shorts it would look like they'd had an accident after about 20 minutes. Same player in another colour you'd never notice they were sweating.
