Kits 23/24

[AV84]

I didn't mind the third kit. Especially so with the Aston Villa Foundation as sponsor on the front!

Be interesting to know if the players sweated less with the different logo, given that was apparently one of the working theories on why they all looked like drowned rats.

[pauliewalnuts]

It might be because of the colour not showing it so much, but they did look less sweaty.

We've nothing for comparison either. Although I'm pretty sure the home kit with no sponsor, as seen in Warsaw, was still a sweaty mess, now that I think of it.

Mush prefer last nights sponsor than that horrid betting company logo...

Any rumours of what brand we're having next season?

It's not gonna be Castore so we should hear something soon.

I've got a feeling it'll be Nike.

Why are you so confident that it won't be Castore? Other than the suggestion that the sweaty shirt issue would give the club the opportunity to extract themselves from the contract, has anything actually happened on this?

There has been tons of coverage saying we're ending the deal early. Lots of sports industry media, too, not just footyinsider or whatever rubbish.

[AV84]

I don't remember seeing anything definite. I remember seeing speculation that we could end the deal early, but also that Castore could/would resolve the issue.

[pauliewalnuts]

There isn't anythiing definite, but when it's getting reported by Matt Law and John Percy in the Torygraph, plus in lots of sportswear industry publications, and when there's a pretty compelling reason for it to happen, there's probably a certain amount of truth in it.

What was being reported though, is the point. Did these places say we were 100% cancelling the Castore deal. Or did they say we might? Genuine question, because I don't remember seeing anything stated as definite. I think the point is that that first post today makes it sound like it is a definite.

[pauliewalnuts]

The bit I was replying to was the bit where FatSam asked why someone was so confident it would be cancelled.

My answer was pointing out that there’s a reasonable amount of coverage from reputable sources suggesting that may be the case. That being why someone might think we are going to bin the deal.

[Smirker]

I'll be stunned if its still Castore. They don't deserve the chance to put it right imo and with our anniversary next year they can't be trusted not to fuck something up.

[VinnieChase84]

Lots of chat that Nike will be in

[Toronto Villa]

That's good. If it is the quality of these beauties we will all be happy.






Shame the BK8 will tarnish whatever the design is

That home one was the last one I went out and bought, in long sleeve as well.
