Kits 23/24

[Nii Lamptey]

From the official club website: "The redesigned crest, which pays homage to our European Cup-winning heroes of 1982, appears on Villa’s playing and training kits this season.

The club will continue to use the existing shield design around Villa Park and on our digital channels, as well as in other areas.

Aston Villa will monitor local, national and global reaction along with feedback to the use of both the crest and kit moniker as the 2023/24 campaign progresses.

With our landmark 150th anniversary on the horizon next season, the club will further engage with supporters on the future identity of Aston Villa and how it should look for the next 150 years and beyond."

Hmmmm.  Is the Club not going ahead with the new badge rebrand?

I read this as they've fucked up and are gonna change it AGAIN after the upcoming season.

If they're flipping the lion back around and removing that ridiculous star, I'm okay with this. Anything else, just leave it alone.... It's perfect!

And I LOVE that they've gone back to an embroidered badge, rather than those ridiculous silicon things. Fuzzy felt sponsors to make a comeback next please, rather than the stick on transfers that peel off after a couple of washes!

What the actual fuck?!?

Shouldn't that bit where, "Villa will monitor local, national and global reaction along with feedback to the use of both the crest and kit moniker as the 2023/24 campaign progresses", have been done as part of the actual crest redesign?!?

"Oh, remember that ace crest we designed last year that 75% of you loved, well, we are half keeping the shit one that Lerner designed on MS Paint, because we forgot to do some marketing research before we announced the new crest. And despite the fact that three quarters of our fans love it, we want to see what "The Sun" thinks of it before we commit to it properly..."

What an absolute shit show...

Bardell more or less confirms the round badge will be ditched.

Fuck off villa, why bother consulting us?

Not a fan of the kit, but not really arsed.

This stuff about the badge however is absolute fucking nonsense. Who thought that would be a good idea?

Absolutely shit management from someone along the line there.

Gaslamp will be the 150th anniversary season badge/crest/logo/brand image I'd imagine.

[chrisw1]

Seen a pic of a guy wearing it in the club shop on Twitter.  It looks fine really, but that sponsor logo is poor.

Ah, cheers.

[Smirker]

Fucking hell.

I'm gonna email the club. Who do I complain to?

Everyone else should get on it.

Can confirm I'm not bloody smirking now!

[Monty]

I give zero fucks about which way the lion is facing, I never noticed it before and I don't notice it now.
