Quote from: Stu on July 26, 2024, 06:25:09 PMI think they went years ago, yeah. I can't remember the last time Villa offered a long sleeve jersey although I'm of an age where I haven't bothered looking for a long time but felt I really wanted this one, 150th year etc. This kit with the Adidas stripes down a long sleeve would look on point. The last home shirt I bought was the long sleeved Rover one in 2002/03. Think they did another the following season (I seem to recall getting a free one from Villa for some reason).

And the royals don't get involved in advertising anything.
Rather than opening a separate topic, I'd want to share some views on the video of the kit launch. Now for a couple thingsI enjoy Adidas as a brand and after seeing the Adidas commercials, I find it missed opportunity that the creative and commercial teams did not collaborate with Aston Villa on this and it very much seems like some ideas on a story board from a few at the club. First, I believe Prince William and Tom Hanks could have been involved. Tom Hanks is an actor, and Prince William is world-famous. In addition, the plot is not particularly obvious. An older lady sitting at the bus stop wearing Adidas boots made no sense. I would have preferred a narrative than a collection of different scenes. I appreciate the Club tried something though I don't think it was a Champions League level storyboard. I've had a couple of great ideas myself in how to improve the launch video.There were certain elements that were unclear and the edit I think was only satisfactory. Clearly there are some budget constraints. The rock stars appear to have been the most expense. This had to be Champions League level locations and stars to be increasing global brand awareness. It also needs to give a strong appeal and look to reach all genders, all ethnicity, all ages.If I may I indulge and give example to the unclear narrative Why weren't they all wearing the new Goal Keeper Villa shirts during the Emi Martinez Masterclass lessons? Who were they? Why dont they have maybe some ex pros, like Agbonlahor or McGrath in that scene or one of the aged Rockstars, the older lady from the bus stop or the young girl with the 'can I have new shirt' sceneI think Martinez could have played that part there as the instructor turning round to reveal the kit and then asking them to change into itIf not, Tom Hanks would have been an excellent choice for the instructor masterclass part.I also would have directed Prince William to appear in the dressing room scene in full kit, after a video call with Unai Emery.
I thought the Olympic Ceremony last night was fantastic.
Oh it was just a few ideas really. I can't say it's my main forte but I think it's all about connecting and engaging the viewer.

£500,000 profit for the club? Or £500,000 profit for Adidas, of which we'll see a tiny amount?
