Kits 23/24

[Ian.]

Because it's round?

Look, I mean, I don't get the issues that people have here, but whatever you think the language on this thread is a little out of proportion. 'Shambles' etc. I can guarantee that nobody out there in the football world gives a damn about any of this - why don't we ask Everton fans what a 'shambles' looks like; indeed, why not ask ourselves a mere few years ago?

I get it if people don't like the kit, or the badge, or the consultancy process or whatever, but we risk sounding like unhinged comic book fans losing their minds because Iron Man's suit is the wrong shade of rust. 'Worst. Badge. Ever!'

Name another club, or indeed another globally recognised company who have made such a balls up of a rebranding and come out with such an amateurish attempt at justifying it?

A company I deal with Re-branded around 2018 and as the name of their company was also the name of a famous naval sea commander they decided to re-write their company history to incorporate him. Anyway after the incidents with BLM and certain statues being vandalised and the stories coming out many of these famous sailors were actually slave traders this company had to re-brand again and try and dissociate themselves from this.

Ian, with that, in mind, are you suggesting that Bella has eaten the African car reverser? 😂

''Father, would you mind if I put the radio on? '

'No, that's fine'.

Well at least we aren’t Bolton Wanderers who just announced their stadium name under new naming rights.

Welcome to the Toughsheet Stadium everyone.

When we win the FA Cup at next season, the new kit will be seen as a classic kit.

Having seen it, i don't think it is as bad as some people are saying,

[AV82EC]

I know we lost in the FA Cup the only time we wore it, but this is still the best away/third kit, imho.  Now we're back to the old badge, it would be great to revive it or something similar.

This is the single worst thing to happen to Aston Villa in its proud 149 year history. A cheap Ellisian sub Crystal Palace away shirt cash in for reaching the “highs” of an FA Cup Qtr Final. It’s puke inducing tones rendered me speechless at the time and I haven’t changed my opinion in the last 30 years. We wore it I think 3 or 4 times, never won in it and it just smacks of the way the club was run at that time, small time corner shop. Anyone thinking this is some classic 90s sportswear statement needs to get to Specsavers. It makes the Glow in the dark Lambert era away top look like a Paris Fashion week classic.

Undoubtedly a complete and utter absolute abomination.

Thought you were winding us up Jon so checked....unbelievable!

But funny!

[Dogtanian]

Okokok… I’ve just decided I like the new kit.

I don’t like the piping on the shoulders that makes the blue on the top look like a panel, but aside from that I think it’s nice.

Just saw John McGinn holding it up in his signing shoot and my mind was made up.

Can’t wait to see our next away kit, in Spanish red, with no badge, just VILLA in bold across the chest, and ECL Winners 2024 under the collar on the back.

Wasn't this all arranged months ago, I remember us having this conversation before.

[Risso]

Apologies if this has been mentioned before, but the new shirt has the old lion facing the old way on the back of the shirt by the neck, so they haven't even got any consistency on the same top.

Very likely, just wasn't tuned in then.
They're still calling it the University of Bolton Stadium on their website.

Still think it's funny...just a pity it's not BCFC!

If a committee designed a horse, it’d come up with a Zebra.

[LeeB]

Dropped my youngest off at school and it's non-uniform day, a lad came in as I was leaving resplendant in the full kit, looked smart in the flesh. Gave the obligatory 'Up the Villa', got a few off looks from parents but him and his 3 mates gave me the big thumbs up.
