If it’s anything like the last couple of years, all the nice training kit is long gone before the sales. 

Yeah the sky blue zip up I wanted is already out of stock. Didn’t even last a day.

First purchase from the new range. Just love it. Interesting to see how it sizes up. 

I’ll be interested to see what you (or anyone on here) report back about training wear sizing. I’m interested in getting the baby blue version of the above, but would like some feedback about sizing first. I sized up from L to XL in last year’s kit. Definitely do the same for the training wear?

Almost hope he throws in a transfer request now to prove that idiot wrong

Hard too police two teams playing at home in same area. 

Oh sure. Wasn’t aware of how close they both were (knew they were both in the midlands but not actual proximity)

Wonder if that’s still an issue with no fans...?

Pardon my ignorance, but why would that be an issue in the first place?

It's not clear to me how he would get a work permit at City

Been seeing this on twitter too. I’m not even a UK resident, let alone an expert on work permits. What are the requirements to obtain one for a footballer?

Thought that the reason he was able to get one at Villa was because of the amount of first team starts he received. Would City be forced to guarantee him a certain number of starts in order to get a work permit for him?

I’m still hoping Rashica is coming through the door. I’ll go with him.

There is currently 3 old Villa kits on sale at the Swedish version of Ebay called Tradera.com Sadly they are all too big for me.

So far the auction is only up to about £9 each

That yellow shirt with the crestless blue lion is just begging to have an updated version be our away/third kit soon.

Can't remember where the NHL stadium was but it seemed nice, smaller than I thought it would be though. That visit we were staying with friend  whose uncle lived about 100 yards from the new NFL stadium (Banks stadium?) and whilst we didn't go in it did look very impressive. 

Sure, you went to the XCEL Energy Center and saw the outside of US Bank Stadium.

I went to an NHL game in Minenesota a few years ago and was really confused when half way through the first quarter (about 8 minutes in I think), all the players just stopped and started skating back and forth. My friend then explained that it was the first advert break. They literally couldn't even wait for the quarter to end before going to adverts. 

I live down the street from that arena. Small world.

I've read the disgusting comments they have made towards both Grealish and Villa and they are an embarrassment and mentally challenged.

After reading the above I'll be rooting for any other team they play next season in the PL.

I effing hate Leeds. Probably my least favorite club in England (Birmingham City are more of a “point and laugh” instead of an actual hate for me). I was so happy they got promoted, just so we get the opportunity to slap them around a couple of times this season.

Just a question people.

Does anyone have the baby blue shorts from this season gone?? And are they tight fit, did you have to get next size up. Have they worn out quick for you or have they been a good bit of quality??

I usually find with these sports giants that things are tight fit but for my birthday would like those shorts, anyone with any info would be great thanks.

Cheers.

Bought myself a large in the GK gold shorts. Didn’t even come close to fitting me, although Mrs MNVillan loves them. Go at least 1, if not 2, sizes up.

Would appreciate any information on fit once people start getting their shirts. Same as last year, bigger, etc

agree with tuanzebe, the chance to sign him (or for him to come to us...) was last summer, spent the year injured, wont break in to that utd team, we wont get value for money in any kind of deal with them

for that reason too id say tammy, I don't want us to put a lot of time and effort in to him when I feel like Chelsea wont give us any kind of decent deal for him and despite what some fans think I feel like he would always be reluctant to leave Chelsea

im wary of anyone that the big boys are trying to ship off, Lingard obviously, origi, even the likes of stones from city, not saying they aren't good enough for us but with the fee and the wages they would be asking for theres not much sensible about going after them

deeney is another one that obvious, ignore the blue nose bit for a moment, he's 32, in decline, would be seeking his last deal, then bring the fact that he's a dirty bluenose who has goaded us for years, **** that

Didn’t even know Deeney was a blue nose. Agree with your analysis and would add that he didn’t seem bothered when Watford went down because it seems like he knew he’d be off. Want someone who cares about where the club finishes and not just himself.

buy a MAG box (c. £60), then find an IPTV subscription...plenty about, no VPN required

but surely they will offer mechanisms to watch games. maybe giving the clubs licenses to show all games, and offering to fans as they did with AVTV for non UK residents

Can only speak for us USA supporters, but NBC has made a great effort to show every game live. Might not always be on TV, but for $60 I got the Premier League Matchday Pass (or whatever it was called) and I could stream every match. Going down to $50 this year too

Sancho deal sounds close so hopefully thats the end of grealish to united. That would be great news for us.

Only city are the team id worey about.dont think we would do business with spurs after last time

I’d be so disappointed if he was off to City.

That third kit is horrid.  Hopefully we won't have to wear it if the away kit is black, now Bournemouth are down nobody should clash with the away kit.

I agree, it’s awful. They’ll wear it a couple times, I’m sure, simply for the sake of selling shirts.

Excited for the 4th shirt speculation to wear in Europe in next year’s version of this thread.

Disappointed that the badge on the away isn't monochrome like on that mockup though

No kidding. Our regular badge doesn’t have enough contrast with the lion/star and baby blue background. FFS, the lion and star are basically invisible in that picture.

I quite like the camo 3rd shirt (if real).

Not sure what's going on with the colours on the collar though! Lime or navy shorts maybe?

Navy shorts would make sense, although lime green shorts would be awesome.

I’ll be going with the black away this year. I like the idea behind the third, but not a fan of the camo.

If true I quite like that third strip, claret sponsor and badge looks smart IMO

No idea how legitimate this is, but he nailed the info about the home kit before it came out.

Half of this thread is like twitter: thirsty bastards trying to see how much they can demonstratively hate the kit in a hunt for clout. 
 

I don’t really get too excited about the home kit release. The claret body, blue sleeves is lovely, but it’s tough to get overly creative with such restrictions. Don’t know how you can react “omfg I love it” or “omfg I hate it.” They’re all very similar. “Good” and “Bad” home kits are dependent on what memories are made in them, imo.
 

I love the away and third kit releases. That’s where we can see some fun stuff.

One of the underrated aspects is that the new shorts don’t have Kappa logos down the entire side. That look was so awful this past year.
