Kits 23/24

[PaulTheVillan]

Just had the photos through from the chinese seller I ordered 2 shirts from.

Should be with me in a couple of days.

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

"The print design is a nod to the clubs rich history depicting broken windows, referencing the time they had the FA Cup stolen from a shop window and Alexander Tonev's shooting"

I thought the thieves got in through the roof?

This can't be real

[villadelph]

Unfortunately, it is. I think the shirt might have been overstretched during his reveal but that is obviously no excuse. The shirt was effed before he even put it on.. look at the collar seem on Pau's side, yikes.

Mr. Sawiris, could you please get us an adidas kit?

It absolutely is. That is fucking dreadful and amateurish on the part of the club, the manufacturer and whoever they commissioned to take those pics.

you didn't wash it with fabric softener did you?

Isn't is fabric 'conditioner' in proper English? Am I to add fabric softener to the long list of expressions I don't want to like because they have been imported by our simple gun-loving cousins?

I'm surprised one of the sleeves didn't fall off

[VILLA MOLE]

I hate to say this but I really like the Chelsea top a clean design and simple urgh I feel dirty

You'd like to think they gave him more than one shirt, but even then the one from the reveal and the one from yesterday both had flaws in them.

I was going to write conditioner then I thought I'd become(*) mixed up with the mysterious stuff some people use after shampoo.

* = almost wrote "gotten" here, so maybe I have absorbed Americanisms

• Shite design
• Shite quality
• Amateurish manufacturer
• Shite sponsors
• Badge reboot fuck-up

Think I'll be sticking with my retro shirts this season - Has to be one of the worst years and typically falls when we're on the cusp of success! All 3 kits are shocking.
Please god, give us either Adidas or Umbro next... Fed up with these cheap ass Mickey Mouse market stall manufacturers!

Is there a conflict of interest if we go with Adidas, since Nassef is on the Board and currently the largest individual investor/shareholder in the company?

I can't imagine that's any worse that Man Citeh and their corrupt sponsorship dollars getting funneled in.

That's getting to "why didn't Barry take the penalty" levels now.

The simple answer is very much "no".

He isn't the largest investor anyway, and if any deal is at open market rates, then there's no problem even if he was. Also any deal with Aston Villa would be asbolutely miniscule in the overall scheme of Adidas worldwide income.

So just to repeat, no. Go and get us Adidas, Nas.

Gymshark could have been another option.

Birmingham brand, the owner is a Villa fan and their stuff is actually top notch in terms of quality. Got a massive fan base and following worldwide. Anyone who is into fitness wears Gymshark.

It'll be almost as good as the day Gerrard was sacked when we get rid of Castore.

[pauliewalnuts]

Not sure what difference the owner being a Villa fan has, though?
