Kits 23/24

[dave.woodhall]

Yes, I'm not sure that Purslow would have had a particular dog in the fight. He'd probably just heard from all the fan consultation meetings that it needed to be something vaguely 1982ish, and went with that on the advice of the marketing twats company, after rigging the vote in that direction.

With the gaslamp nonsense thrown in to show that Josh and Charlie the account managers heading up the project had been paying attention.

It didn't even look like a f**king gas lamp.

That white Umbro one is a beauty. Once saw a bloke wearing that in Tokyo and chased him down the street to tell him how happy I was to see such a sight.

Chased him down 😂😂😂

Is a nice shirt though.

The best two Villa kits and badges of all time imo. No crappy shirt sponsor, and a decent kit manufacturer.  Just plain simple beautiful.

A few years ago Umbro re-released those. I bought them both. Actually made by Umbro, too, really nice quality.

I wear the white one a lot whilst on my daily walk.

You're probably just letting nostalgia "cloud" your judgment.

My original one.... still just about in use today...

With the current 'shield' looking all blurred and weird on TV, like a 2 year old had designed it I was looking forward to us having a proper ,  proud looking badge we can be confident about.

They really have messed up big role with this

Your TV is a disgrace.

An absolute beauty!

Buying a nice shirt from the past isn't the same thing though is it? I'd buy those shirts as well because they're, well, nice shirts.

Thank you to whoever put up that link to the chap on Instagram for the retro shirts.

I have an 89/90 away shirt in the works & my beady little eye on the home one from the same year in my future plans...

I apologise for not knowing who posted the link, but this thread has moved on a lot since it was posted.

But thank you. 👍

Im sure someone showed me the white away shirt last night .

I kinda liked it and he hated it . not sure it was the right one had two small squares  grey and blue on the shoulder , would have preferred the grey being claret maybe

Looks like it's not just us having kit issues. From the BBC:

Arsenal have withdrawn their new £110 home shirt from sale while a "design error" is corrected.

The shirt honours the 'Invincibles' season, 20 years on from when Arsene Wenger's side went unbeaten throughout an entire Premier League campaign.

However, it incorrectly recorded the results achieved by Arsenal in the 2003-04 campaign.

Kit manufacturer Adidas said fans who have already bought the shirt would be refunded.

One of our additional kits may have leaked on DHGate, strange it doesn’t have the badge or the correct sleeve sponsor though?

If real, that away kit is very nice indeed.

EDIT: They’re clearly knock offs, mind. Look at the prices

[N'ZMAV]

the home shirt is much better in reality than on the pictures
