Keyblade Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 I hope we renew with Macron, they've improved dramatically since that awful first kit and actually make us a unique home and away kit instead of Adidas template #2 that the Sunderlands and Fulhams of this world all wear. In an ideal world I would go with Umbro, their kits are always excellent. Their West Ham kit this season is just Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife was pretty pissed off that after buying me the first one for fathers day, it was falling apart after the 2nd wash...I have probably every nike kit they produced, every one of them is still in impeccable order...nothing peeled off, no snags or loose cotton from poor finishing. My favorite kit they made was this one :- I still wear this one regularly to this day, and it looks as good as new. It's probably been washed in excess of 100 times, and it's immaculate...the overpriced macron shite however is long retired.The macron peeling is not some made up myth, you can find countless other posts from users sharing the same difficulties. If it didn't happen to you, good for you...but you're the fortunate one and it's not the norm. With Nike, I don't recall reading any such stories of poor craftsmanship leading to peeling. We usually take pride in buying the Villa kit, we buy them at full price on launch day...the events are good for the kids etc and it's not cheap. As long as it's Macron, those days are gone for me....we still buy the kits for the kids and they're just naff. The socks that came with the latest one had cotton coming away, it's just poor...really poor.I will always don my nike kits, for the gym / playing football...just casual wear. Whatever the occasion, I know they won't fail me...can't say the same for this inferior shite. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 i just dont like the dry fit material, its fine for playing in but if you're wearing it to the games or to watch us in the pub i just dont find it comfortable, in my mind the nike kits were designed for this - that aint from the rain... and dont get me wrong i had no problem with nike, other than the november / december launches, i think they did a decent job for us and to be fair to them treated us probably better than we deserved, the only template i can think of is the one we shared with porto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dAVe80 Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Got a feeling we'll end up with New Balance for our next manufacturer. I think they've made some decent kits this season, so I'd be happy enough with that. As long as it's got a claret body, and blue sleeves, I don't think you can fall off.

Neil Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 That's cool, I guess the type of material is always going to be down to preference...as long as it's not falling apart that'st he main thing. I do really like the dry fit stuff, and to be fair I do wear kits more for sporting activities than anything else so that could be it.I laugh, because I'm not all that bothered about what I wear...and I even have hummell kits that are still in good nick. But whoever the manufacturer, they're not cheap to buy on launch day...my wife made a point to go get me the first macron kit on the fathers day kit launch. It's now a peeled and bobbled collar of it's former self, not good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted October 23, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted October 23, 2015 If parts of your shirt are peeling off after 2 washes, then you're washing it incorrectly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Tbf, the first Macron kit was a joke, there were loads of people who experienced the sponsor/Macron men peeling off.Mine were coming off within a couple of months even though it was washed at the recommended temperature, and by that point the girls at the VP shop were so used to it they exchanged it without question.I think it's been better in the following seasons, though.

kayarcee Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 I bought the first year Macron top during Villa's preseason tour in the states, and have had no peeling issues, no snags, no issues whatsoever. Also bought a long sleeve glow in the dark from that year that's held up in a similar fashion. Then again, I always wash my shirts in cold water and air dry them.

abdomlahor Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 I've heard who it is from somebody who should know, but I'm a little bitch so I won't say who for fear of the repercussions.
