I'm a new fan of Aston Villa and have just watched my first match. Wow.
Sort of a historical kit/team colors question. I notice that West Ham's colors are very similar to the Aston Villa colorway, yet a little research shows that AV was established in 1874 and WH in 1895. Is there a reason the colors are similar and is this a source of contention for the clubs/fans?
Also I thought the black kits looked good in the rain.
