The only big brand I can think of that's also new is Gymshark.

But would that excite the fans?

Maybe the younger ones who are more familiar with Gymshark.

New to us, and big, was how I interpreted it.
New to us.. well that would rule out:
Umbro, Le Coq Sportif, Henson, Hummel, Diadora, Asics, Reebok, Nike, Kappa, Under Armour, Macron, Luke, Castore... who's left?

Adidas, Puma, New Balance, Joma, O'Neills, Bukta, Errea, Fila, Pony, Admiral.
Take your pick

Again, my interpretation, but I think in an informal chat in a podcast, ‘new’ could just mean a change from the old. In other words, not Castore. I think if it was Umbro for instance, it would still be described quite widely as ‘Villa’s new kit manufacturer’ without people saying ‘that’s not new’.

That's the brand that has made a young Bromsgrove lad a very wealthy  man , is he a Villa fan ?


Edit....  just see n Percys post

The bloke who started Gymshark is a billionaire Villa fan.

I doubt it’s them though.

Indeed he is Luke. Aston Uni alumni I believe.

Haha, just seen your edit.

Maybe the Villa connection is what he means by exciting the fans , a bit like the luke kit did. 
Gymshark has become such a massive brand hey  might see the football as their next step .

Gymshark would be another Castore situation. No thanks.

It’s Adidas
Are you speculating or do you know for sure?

Adidas would definitely be my first choice.

I also interpreted ‘new’ as simply meaning not Castore anymore. People are reading too much into it by speculating Gymshark etc.

It’s nailed on adidas / Nike / Puma, I’d say.

If we're happy with it no. If it goes tits up, absolutely.

Would like us to go back to Hummel for nothing other than sentimental value.

I like a Hummel kit, but I doubt very much they pay the most.
