It's nailed on heck would change our colours permanently if he could only get away with it. I thought it would be the early hooped kit we wore.

Money money money money......

Surely it doesn't help the players having to suddenly adjust to passing to team mates in different colours, especially if West Ham will be in claret. 

Its all about the money and just leaves bad taste in mouth.

Looking at Villa historical kits, surely the 'scarlet and royal blue' striped kit that we wore up to 1874 would have been better?

150th Black Kit revealed https://www.avfc.co.uk/news/2025/january/07/aston-villa-honour-150th-anniversary-with-commemorative-kit/
.
I like that  ;D I find the lack of gambling sponsorship pleasing

I like it as well, especially with no betting sponsor

I like the crest and the shirt - but at my age I wont be buying it!

Hopefully there will be a cheaper T Shirt that I can buy and wear on my holidays (the prices will have reduced by then!)
