Kits 23/24

"We're changing our badge.

Which one do you like?

*massive poll*

We've instructed an agency to design the new badge.

Here is the new badge *insert designer waffle here*

*months and months pass*

Errr we'll probably only use it for one season because we don't really like it, so we'll carry on with the old MS Paint badge too, and then probably go back to that one, but it depends if you guys like the new badge".

[Villan82]

I thought our amateur days were behind us.

[Rory]

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

Fuck off villa, why bother consulting us?

Why would we bother doing that? I'm not sure I understand.

[Risso]

What an absolute shambles, amateur beyond belief.

When they announced the winner in November

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
The current crest will remain in place for the remainder of the 2022/23 season, with the new crest officially replacing it for the 2023/24 season, including being in place on next season’s kits, released next summer. The crest redesign will now also be factored into an evolution of the rest of our visual identity.

Throughout this important crest design process we have listened to the views of our fans; as ever, you have done us proud in playing your part. We would like to thank all the fans who responded to the initial survey and those who came along to our in-depth focus groups; and of course, thank you to all of you who took part in the final vote, which set a new record for Villa fan participation in a Club survey.

And i love the "to pay homage to the 1982 team" line, on this, the landmark, err, 41st anniversary of it.

Thrown in there half heartedly as some attempt to explain the temporary nature of it.

[Smirker]

Going back on it like this is really fucking shit.

Bet it was Purslow.

Everyone needs to let them know what we think.

[PeterWithesShin]

As for the kit, it looks like a Burnley kit, the sponsor is distasteful and the badge is now pointless.

We haven't exactly covered ourselves in glory.

That's one of the things I don't get.

Not a fan. 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.

Not sure why they picked a generic song sung by every club in the world & not a Villa song is beyond me, but this whole debacle has been a shit show from start to finish, so it figures...

[Drummond]

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.

[pauliewalnuts]

It does look very much like a Burnley kit to me.
