Are we waiting to reveal the 3rd kit so we can say its an homage to the England women's team finishing second at the World Cup?

I actually like it. I hate these kit launches that try to make it look like a fashion item rather than a football kit, but it looks nice in the few shots of the players in full kit.

They look terrible - look at this picture of Torres yesterday.  That can't be right.  I wonder if we'll be getting new payer kits made?




that looks incredibly uncomfortable.
Rob Warner - a kit designer and kit expert (ex Umbro & Puma and designed Italy world cup winning shirt) is a big Villa fan.  He joked on Twitter if our kits were made from a mix of loft insulation and kitchen roll.  He also said it would be very difficult for Castore to get us replacement kits before the end of the season, so it looks like the team will be stuck with this not fit for purpose shirt.

In a world of marginal gains, there must be some detrimental impact on performance from these shirts.  I hope it's the nudge we need to kick Castore into touch but I suspect not as next years kits will already have been designed.

Vile isn't it.

All crap this season. Will no doubt become collectors items when we win everything!

As for using he title, 'fresh threads' on the Tielemans photo...fuck off. Does anyone actually speak like that in the UK nowadays? Maybe I've been away too long. Or not long enough.

I see Newcastle have kicked Castore into touch and will have Adidas shirts from next year.

I don’t normally care too much about kits, and this season’s looks ok but it can not be comfortable for the players playing drenched in sweat all the time.

With Unai’s famed attention to detail I would be amazed if he had not expressed concern about this.

Another Marmite, I love it BTW. Even if it is a rehash from the Castore template set (very similar to last season’s Wolves I believe)

It's a third kit, so I don't care much but I can't imagine it helps visibility on the pitch.

Castore are shite.

I remember thinking the first Kappa shirts were poor - the 19/20 kit was very cheap and nasty, but looking back they also did some really good kits.  The 20/21 and 21/22 kits were excellent, home and away and still look good now.

They put this Castore mess to shame.

Even more so if he'd remembered the blue sleeves.

It's for the kids innit. We'll only see it on the pitch about 4 or 5 times.
