Haven’t they got some other non betting company that they are linked/ partnered with that could have been put on the shirt, I’m sure I heard mention of it somewhere but can’t remember the name?

Aston Villa Foundation who are getting a cut of the revenue from these final replica shirts.

Edit: Which are now selling for a grand each on ebay.

Surely nobody is going to be brave/foolish enough to wear Villa colours in town, especially Digbeth.

I meant an affiliate company of Betano.

It was a Betano charity a couple of times (as well as Acorns again the other year). However as I said earlier, fuck em. Thanks for the moolah for the last two seasons but we have someone else next season now.

Well we might not but we definitely don't have Betano as betting shirt sponsors are banned from next season in the prem. So at worst case we do a Chelsea with no one on, or have the charities on like the Acorns seasons.

We can’t afford to have no-one, but the betting companies paid handsomely.

We have to hope we have elevated our status to the point where we can command equal or more cash from a more wholesome brand.

Has anyone purchased the Europa Final 2026 replica shirt?

I got one from the Bullring after legging it from VP where it had sold out!

Max from YouTube did. Apparently only 900 have been made. I assume that will multiply if we win. Betano must be pissed off but the club would have surely told them of this possibility.

Well Betano are partner sponsors of the Europa League so their branding will be all over the ground anyway.

Right, somebody had better tell them to get rid of the Jack Grillish Burgers and Dwight Pork.

Not cool.
