Kits 23/24

[Dogtanian]

...Okay, I'm not sure about that.

[PaulTheVillan]

If that's the real one, then that is absolute dog turd

[Dogtanian]

It looks like an early-nineties Coventry atrocity.

[Risso]

That's their worst effort yet, and it's a low bar. Blimey.

[AV82EC]

My eyes my eyes.

That is awful.

[AV84]

Looks like a 90s goalkeeper shirt.

[pauliewalnuts]

Looks like it should have TRITON SHOWERS written across the front

[villadelph]

Please no, wtf is going on.

[Toronto Villa]

Third kits always seem to be a bit off the wall from the traditional colours and design. I’m sure this will look very different on the players when they model it. That said I find many of our kits and colour choices recently to be a bit “we knocked this together quickly for you” versus many you see out there. Still I ain’t buying one and I want the players in it to perform vs what they look like. And as ever the target market isn’t fat 50+ blokes.

Tha target market is any Villa fan, and 50+ blokes probably have higher disposable income than some younger age groups.

It's an impressive achievement to make 3 shirts and all of them are shit.

There are plenty of younger Villa fans with enough money to buy a kit. I’m specifically talking about the designs they attach to the non traditional kits. It’s to expand the reach to demographics that don’t buy the traditional designs. That’s why in North America they are constantly developing new designs, retro, alternates to attract fans who want something a bit different to the norm. Especially basketball out here but other sports have cottoned on. The third kit phenomena didn’t exist in football until quite recently. And even changing kits every is quite recent when you used to think kits wouldn’t change each year.

And this leaked top might even be a keeper kit for all we know. Or it might not be the kit at all.

They are a bit this year. As a collection it’s the worst we’ve had in a while.

I wouldn't mind so much if the quality wasn't so desperately poor. I mean, designs aren't always to everybody's tastes. I happen to think all of these this season are absolute shite, but it's the quality that's the worst thing about them. As somebody else says above, the polyester fabric is the thinnest possible, and even allowing for third world sweat shop quality control, these are abysmal. My home shirt looks like it was sewn together by somebody with very poor eyesight and possibly only one functioning hand. The sponsor logos are dreadful and the badge is already starting to peel. Be a shame that if we do have a really good season that it won't be accomplished with a suitably nice kit.

[AV84]

Quality issues aside I honestly don't mind the away one. I'll reserve judgement until we see it in its entirety, but the 3rd one looks fine too. I personally think we'll look much better than West Ham did winning the Conference in their 3rd shirts.
