Kits 25/26

[Villa in Denmark]

Is it just me or does the roundel look a bit small? Maybe i've become used to seeing the larger shield. Anyway loving the range, this is exactly the kind of thing i hoped for when Adidas was announced.

It looks pretty small to me.

For a second I thought you were replying to Smirker.

[Toronto Villa]

It is small and I imagine intentionally so as these items are more a fashion accessory. Which is fine I suppose. I just wish that the current badge on the main kit wasn’t so big. There’s a happy place somewhere in between.

Now this is beautiful

The claret jackets get my dick hard.

best not wear it out then

I remember long ago I’d been out drinking somewhere or other and had got to Bidston station really needing a piss. Anyway i went in, relieved myself, then after i washed my hands i saw one of those toilet vending machines. For reasons I still can’t fathom I bought one of the herbal viagras from it and necked it. Fuck only knows what I thought I was going to do riding on public transport for maybe 2hrs with a massive lob on. Thankfully it was completely ineffective.

just gave me a headache 🤔😃

Are you sure it had worked and you didn't notice? 😀

We need to burn this black kit. Starting at Man U it’s been nothing but bad luck. Like Alex Ferguson getting rid of some grey kit Man U has after they lost a game (at Southampton maybe). We can’t seem to do anything right in it and it’s not like our away record was great to begin with. It should be a ceremonial event with religious figures from the local community in attendance. Beer vendors, food trucks and games for kids available obviously.

Agreed TV.
Whiskey nose made them change kits at HT away at Southampton, kit was never to be seen again. (If I remember right they were 3-0 down and came back to draw 3-3)

Was he Irish?

It’s obviously a deeper problem & I’m not superstitious but it’s become associated with failure.  I also don’t like the all claret look - we changed to that at Everton when a more Villa-like blue shorts & socks would have sufficed.

[Drummond]

I prefer the claret shorts and socks rather than blue look.

[VancouverLion]

I don't like the all claret look either, it's like watching a bunch of little kids run around in onesies.

Hope we unleash the new 3rd kit on Sunday.

I agree, all black is for old school refs not footballers. Bin it.

Re Manyoo I think they lost that Southampton game 6-3 and the grey kit was never seen again

[dcdavecollett]

95/96, I think.

3-0 down at half-time with grey kit. Changed at half-time and lost 3-1.

[cdbearsfan]

October 1996, apparently.

[dcdavecollett]

I remember it as Easter.

[dcdavecollett]

In fact, I think we played the Saints at Villa Park on Easter Monday(?)

Southampton were in the relegation battle and I couldn't believe how bad they were as we beat them 3-0 -it could have been more.

I was gobsmacked that they then won the next match, at home to title-winning Manchester United.
