Kits 24/25

[algy]

Not sure of the location of this one....



Not even a change of shorts!

Edit - another one, although the white on their sleeves makes it less clashy


Edit - and again...


I'd imagine commercialism has a lot to do with how often teams wear away kits, but to be fair, I'd be annoyed if I bought one and we only wore it once a season.

It used to drive my grandad round the bend, his eyes were starting to go at that point (well, eye - one of them was glass) and he couldn’t make out who anyone played for if they were further away than the edge of the penalty area (sat North Stand upper).

He also drove like an absolute lunatic in the roads around the Cotswolds, where he lived. Was absolutely terrifying belting up country lanes, paying no attention to the speed limit at all, only one working eye which he could barely see out of, knowing that he was old enough that he’d not needed to take a driving test. I swear he was just working off muscle memory.

Did he ever consider becoming a Premier League referee?

Being colourblind, I wouldn't have been able to tell the difference at all.

We wore home kit at Highbury in the Chrissy Price game in 1990. Arsenal wore red in three successive visits to VP starting in 1995. I'm pretty sure we wore home kit at Old Trafford and Anfield in 89-90 as well.

Didn't the tradition of one team wearing brighter shirts, and the opposition wearing dark, continue long after black and white television sets were superceded?

New store opening next week so imagine that will be the marketing vehicle for the away kit launch.

The new and improved Villa Store will open its doors to supporters next week! 👀

See you all there next Friday!

Kids shirts definitely come up small. My 9yo needed an 11-12 and he's regular size for his age.

The special shirts worn during the first two friendlies are up for Auction.

I suspect some players names might not go for as much as others.....

Interesting black shirt in the background of the new store pic. Can’t tell if it says Betano or Adidas on the chest.

TBF they weren’t special in any way. But it’s for Charity!

Just spotted that…unless it’s a red herring then it looks like black shirt with sky blue highlights and sky blue shirt with black highlights. Both have Betano on the chest, however I reckon they’ll just be stock images rather than a sneak peak of the away and third kits.

I don't think they are stock images, I did a proper zoom in and you can see slight differences between the shirts on each level, particularly the badges, they're not as prominent further down. Maybe they have edited it for that effect but it seems odd. I'd say that's probably the kit although it would be an odd thing to do.

If they’re opening on the 16th and we have to play WHAM! in our away kit on the 17th, then it’s a good possibility they’re going to launch the away that day, whatever it is.

They're the same images from the CGI footage months ago.
