Kits 23/24

We have gone down the route Adidas would love - a generic shirt that could be provided for West Spam, Burnley or us.  Just stick a badge and stickers on

I saw one of the Villa Vloggers on YT reviewing the new top from the Villa shop this morning. Looks to me like he was trying to make the best of the 70+ sheets he'd just shelled out for. It still looks shite btw.

My original one.... still just about in use today...

I always thought this would be good for a 3 stripes Adidas kit with a nod to the old

So I've seen a few of the home shirts being worn this weekend and they are much nicer shirts in person, although also much nicer without the shitty sponsor logo, although kids appear to actually want the sponsor on the kits as they think it looks more complete. The shirts are quite a nice design in real life though. The badge is great too, apart from the lion just painfully facing the wrong bloody way. It's like he's lost or something. It's just all wrong. I'm coming to this thread a bit late so apologies if anyone has expressed this view already.

Nah, no one has said the lion is facing the wrong way.

Nah, no one has said the lion is facing the wrong way.

But… when ur wearing the shirt, looking down at him, isn’t he then facing the right way? On his head.

Should probably point it out then, oraybe it's just me....

He'd be looking the right way if you saw yourself in a mirror too, surely?

Saw someone in Asda yesterday wearing one. Looked better in the flesh

Mine arrived today, I quite like it in all fairness.

Though perplexed to see the label describing the colour as “RHODODENDRON/SERENITY”.

We are the b*****ds in rhododendron and serenity!

that's the kind of shit that needs to stop. Get the claret and blue right and consistent kit to kit, manufacturer to manufacturer. Call it claret and blue only and forever. Not what some fucking Pantone chip says it is. I know it's a little thing but it's not a little thing if you want to connect with your audience. Just gives the impression of being out of touch.

Unai Emery's rhododendron and serenity army!

[Nelly]

I think I prefer it to azure! If you're gonna get the colours wrong, do it gratuitously.

Years ago on one of the U.S. tours the American commentator said we played in claret and cobalt.

I don't understand why there aren't set CMYK, RGB, etc, values for our specific claret & blue.

The manufacturers cant go wrong then because its just numbers...
