Absolute amateur crap as usual from us. Different badges all over the place. The new badge got voted for by the fans as a NEW club crest not for one season on a cheap looking kit. Whole identity will look pathetic now..
I seem to be in a minority of 1 here, but ....If Heck's looked at the badge and then said "fuck that, I want that goddamn lion facing the right goddamn way and no goddamn star" (which is how I imagine he talks in my head), then they're right not to completely dress the stadium up with the interim badge then have to go through the whole process again in 12 months. Specially with that mosaic thing on the Holte End.I'm just ... it just doesn't bother me.Like the new badge, but the new home shirt looks rubbish.

The blue looks is a bit washed out in the player photos, and I've no idea what the god-awful pattern is in the claret body, or why it couldn't have just been plain claret.My least favourite kit in a while. I haven't bought one since our promotion season, and won't be this year either. I'm sure I'll grow to like it when I see the players scoring and winning games in it, but it's a real shame that this is the kit we'll be seeing for many years to come in photos of SJM lifting the FA Cup.EDIT: One positive, I actually think the new badge on the white shorts looks ace.The pattern on the claret is "soundwaves of Villa fans singing Alez, alez, alez" apparently.

I can't decide whether this will sell in big numbers because the team are doing well and well just because they do, or be lined up in a sale in approximately 2 weeks.It could be a collector's item with the one off badge thing too.

I suspect it will be one of our biggest sellers in recent years. Good for club's coffers I guess, shame it's not a nicer shirt.
