If they'd just wanted a badge to "pay homage" to the Champions of '82, they could've just used the old badge from then for a season. There was no mention of that when fans were consulted. It looks like someone's changed their mind...

This guy has an interesting theory.

Why did Sky and the PL start using our new badge in the graphics for the list of the 20 PL teams next season? Surely they were told by the club that that was our badge. So they must have changed their mind since then.

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.

I bet you’re absolutely buzzing because of this.

Would prefer he came & asked what the BS around 3 years with a scummy gambling firm is about than the direction of the lion tbf

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.

Blimey. If I wanted a visual representation of sounds on my top I'd buy a Joy Division T-shirt.

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 would think shirt sales have a much bigger link to performance on the pitch, than to the actual 'design'.  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.

Yep, I think you're right, but a classic would bring more buyers I reckon.

I even got one last season when i got carried away in the club shop with the lad. I won't be wasting cash on this one.

I'm hoping that, as with the world class restructuring on the playing side of the Club, this decision to hold back on the rebranding is part of the world class restructuring on the commercial side of things.  Whatever happens next, the Club must clearly come out and communicate their commercial ideas to the fans because what we have at the moment is a confusing mish-mash of strategies.  To use a footballing metaphor, on the playing side of things we are now "Unai Emery" whilst commercially we are  "Steven Gerrard". It's going to take a little while to sort things out and clear things up.
