Kits 23/24

[Smirker]

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

The owner being a Villa fan might mean it would be possible to get a deal with Gymshark.

People still miss Luke Roper's kit.

Do Gymshark do football shirts? And how long are we locked-in with Castore for?

I've tried to find out and the announcement just said it was a multi year deal.

Could be two years could be five years could be ten.

Gymshark don't do football shirts but neither did Luke before us.

I'm voting Nike BTW.

I hope that's the end result when the time comes to renegotiate their contract.

With Heck on board I reckon we will go big and go American.

Alright Footy, calm down.

Luke didn’t make them though, Fanatics did.

Their shirts are 15 quid cheaper than ours as well

Might be just me but it all looks like extremely generic stuff a non-league team gets kitted out in. Fitting, really…

I think it's just the teamwear stuff Nike do and they've had the club badge put on but even so, it's better than ours which says a lot. I bet the Nike stuff doesn't have stitches coming off it before you've even washed it.

For next year we probably will have some sort of tribute shirt to 150 and it'd be a waste if Castore made it. I know I keep banging on about this BTW.

While I'm not a massive fan of Castore, and I'd love a 'proper' kit manufacturer like Adidas or Nike, I do appreciate that those brands do not need Aston Villa. Because they don't need us they won't give us the best financial deal.

A brand like Castore does need clubs like Villa to try and legitimise them and help them become a big player. So the deal they put on the table is better than anything else, which is why we have done it.

The reality is, while we are not champions league regulars with world-wide followers ploughing money into us hand over fist, we have to take the best financial deal, regardless. That's one of the prices we are paying to have the funds to back Emery.

Hmm, get that, but the other side of it is punting shit quality (not aesthetics, durability I mean) shirts to fans for top dollar.

Your average nose won't own a washing machine, so no worries about the badges peeling off etc, if they're taking them down to hand-wash in the canal.

Bigger brands may not need villa but smaller ones like Macron and Castore haven't exactly demonstrated to us that they value us. If they did they wouldn't make such horrid kits.

Our best kits were made by Umbro, Reebok and Nike.

You are completely right, but what they have done is pay the club more money... and unfortunately that's the position FFP has forced us into.

And then charged us for the privilege in hugely expensive kit prices for a shite product with a brand we don't want.
