Aston Villa Kit 26/27

[London Villan]

The 1994 stripey shirt had no sponsor - going to cause some headaches if they need to be added.

Also, why couldnt we have the same template as arsenal with the contrasting sleeves, rather than the man utd version.

[Brazilian Villain]

A missed opportunity to reinforce our distinctive identity, especially at the time when we have the most exposure.

Utter garbage.

It's proved disastrous for Bayern. https://fcbayern.com/en/photos/2019/05/gallery-fc-bayerns-home-shirts-since-1965

[PROVERBS1966]

I didn't like the shirt at all but tried to remain positive about it but then I saw the shorts, absolutely horrible for me, hideous in fact.

A lot of claret yah, Burnley etc but I think it'll grow on people - it has on me already! You can see the quality and detail is way beyond that of the previous decade of budget kit manufacturers and the promo video is brilliant - the players look great in the kit.

After 40 years following the villa, with so many variations on the home shirt design during that time, it's funny seeing the reaction each year - so many people angry on here and the 'socials'. Imagine the past 40 years with pretty much the same traditional design, it'd be boring (and my fave shirt is the super trad 89/90 Hummel one worn by Dalian, Deano, God etc). The different shirts, the players and memories attached to them are all part of the ride.

I loike it. Lets win another cup in it?

I can't believe I'm seeing people WANT the sponsor on it.

Crazy.

Overall the shirt is a 7/10 for me.

This season's grew on me and is a 9.

The third seems to be sold out everywhere in XXL. Anyone reckon there'll be more in stock at any point or have I missed the boat on this?

I've suddenly developed the urge to gouge my own eyes out! But for now, at least...

Here's the elephant....

As one who's old enough to remember when a strip would do for several seasons (without any complaint from the fans), it's obvious to me that this atrocity is a direct result of changing it every year, simply for profit. The similarity between the two previous strips is a case in point (common sense suggesting that there was no need to change at all). This has obviously driven the designers to this significant departure.

Fans....'But it's hardly any different to last year!'....

Adidas...'Right, we'll bloody well show you!...You wanted change?....Well here it is, bitches!'

In biology (bear with me) there's a limit to how much a species can change over time, before it bears little or no resemblance to its ancestors. The same "evolution" appears to have occurred here. This piss-poor effort's only similarities with a Villa shirt, are the holes at the neck, waist and sleeves!

I may be projecting, but the "style conscious" Mr Onana's expression seems to indicate what he thinks of it, too!

Mueller kits of 93/94, 94/95 would like a word. Yes changes are made every season rather then every two seasons but we still ended up with disliked tops. The difference now is the moaners only have a year to froth over it before it gets changed rather then two.

I don't want a shirt sponsor exactly, but given the club's financial situation it would be pretty negligent not to get one.

We will have one 100%.

I'm talking about people not wanting to buy a shirt with one on. That's weird to me. They are better without sponsors on them.

I'm harking back to the pre-sponsorship glory days of 76-81. Five seasons with exactly the same kit. "Never did us any harm!"

True, does seem like a narrow window to get something rare and nicer looking.

[OCD]

I don't like it.

[wince]

Bit underwhelming tbh. I am a traditionalist Claret Body blue sleeves. But win CL with it and I wont care

A good compromise was when clubs alternated new shirts. So one year it was a new home, following year a new away and so on. Then ManU, shock horror, realised 3 new kits every season was money in the bank and now here we are. Another thing to blame those twats for.
