Kits 25/26

[Duncan Shaw]

I'm normally a 9 but 9.5 in Adidas is usually OK

I had no idea of this rule:

“3.5.2 Ensuring that mechanisms exist to enable supporters to have the ability to purchase adult replica kits that do not include gambling sponsorship logos, in the event that they are not otherwise available for purchase.”

Which a year ago said we were failing to do so. Anybody tried this out of late?

Edit: have messaged villa support on Twitter. Don’t hold your breath.

Me neither. I'd be interested in the response. I see the Code sets out a complaint procedure.

I had a look at Everton's shop, and sure enough they offer the adult shirt sans shit sponsor.

Twitter support directed me to supporters@avfc.co.uk which is overseen by

“Matthew Dainty as our Supporter Liaison Officer and Anthony Richards as our Assistant Supporter Liaison Officer.”

A couple of emails / 10 days later:

We have had an update from our retail team.

While we can’t confirm an exact date just yet, we expect these to be available within the next 2–3 weeks. We’ll get back to you as soon as the retail team provides a further update.

Thank you for your patience and continued support.

Much more attractive to me to get a sponsor less kit; no idea if these would be only either instore/online or both, presumably should be latter.

There's one winging its way to SE as we speak.

Why is it beyond the power of Adidas trainer designers to get the colours right. I've got some Hamburgs more claret than these.

To be fair, we've had more shades of claret than a Bordeaux winery.

I always said if they bought back claret and blue Spezials or Gazelles for us I would get a pair, and they did, so I have bought them!  It looks like they are selling well, I got 9.5 and there were only 8 left, 9 and 10 sold out.

I'm an adidas member, and they had some on the Confirmed app. I've managed to bag a pair on there with the Villa having sold out.

Smocks sold out on there too.
