This guy does sone brilliant new retros in long sleeve. I’ve had the following year balck and white away in long sleeve. It’s a thing of beauty.

Ooh, nice indeed. Do you have a link?

It is the most shattering experience of a young man's life when one morning he awakes and quite reasonably says to himself, "I will never play for the Villa."

I'm still quietly confident. All I need is to undo about 15 years of drinking, smoking and sitting around eating Pot Noodles, AND suddenly become really good at football.

Sorry Rory, you'll never play for Aston Villa. You might get a game for Ireland atm though.

To quote Mark Corrigan, "please don't shit on my dreams. I don't want shit on my dreams."

To quote Jez, "do you have to live quite so relentlessly in the real world?". The real world is calling Rory, it ain't happening.

"Oh, that's a great law, isn't it? What's that, Gadaffi's law?"

Indeed.  I had a very good nick original Hummel short sleeve home shirt which was tucked away in a drawer and forgotten about at my "old" home pre-divorce.
When my lad got to about 18 and filled out (and therefore was about the same size as I was when I had that shirt) and was looking for retro shirts I said to him "there's my old Hummel one knocking about in a drawer at your Mum's somewhere" as I had forgotten about it so didn't take it when I moved out.  She'd chucked it away, of course!! Looked on ebay and they were fetching £300.  My own fault for forgetting it, but still gutted, as was my son!!

These copies look great though as the "official" copied don't have the hummel logo.  I wonder if the "Mita" logo is the same felt-like material?

Our away kit back then of a similar design; white and light blue was lovely. Or at least lovely back then.

Apparently if you have one of those in decent condition it's worth quite a bit.

I’ve still got mine, in great nick. I think it must’ve shrunk since I got it so I haven’t worn it for years. How much are they fetching?

Shrink even though they aren’t being worn or washed. I noticed they do that too.

Couldn't find an away one for sale but a home one which is only rated as good condition was priced at £175.

A very good long-sleeved one is £500.

Flippin heck, if that’s what they’re going for my Luke one must be worth a fair bit.

He’s on Instagram and his username is Heroes Of Villains.

I’ve had these three off him and they’re all superb ( also a long sleeve 89 one )

[LeeB]

How about this for an original, match worn long sleeve?













A bit torn and frayed now but worn by Big Dick Edwards himself

*don't know why the last image came out upside down but the label detail is great

[Smirker]

They are. Over £100 at least.

I've got a large in mint condition but it doesn't fit me. I'd never sell it though.

I love that white shirt with pure black sleeves but cannot find one anywhere to buy...

I bought one of those to wear for Graham Taylors last game, away at Everton. No idea where it is mind.

[Hookeysmith]

I know we have new branding and a new badge but why are we always seemingly last out of the blocks with new kits.

Not a single pallet in sight anywhere either

Have any of those with the kit released also changed sponsor? I still think that's our big delay.  Until that contract is expired, I can't imagine the club want to see a 'new' kit with the old sponsor?

Same here, mate.
Mine still fits, I just don’t like to wear it
