AntrimBlack Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 2 hours ago, Stephen_Evans said: We have a very different understanding of what “traditional” means. As it’s the first non-traditional shirt since 2001/02, I guess it is the modernisers’ turn. Personally, blue sleeves is a must for me, but aesthetically the new kit does work as it is, so that’s something. You have a point about the sleeves. The blue on the sleeves and the neck with the claret stripe, and the socks, just made me think of strips from way back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 New top would be almost perfect if it had the round badge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuwabatake Sanjuro Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 The design itself is inoffensive (sleeves aside) but to me looks very cheap. Maybe it might look better on actual footballers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure I like having two different lion motifs on the front, but otherwise pretty cool - especially as it's a throw back to the first Villa kit I ever owned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"New for this season, the badge has been rubberised as opposed to woven, giving it a more defined, polished look and appearance." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingram85 Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 I don’t mind the rubber aspects to the badge. Looks more clean and modern imo. Still deciding if I like the kits or not. I think I do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 (edited) KIt looks ok tbf. It’s that Luke logo that needs to change. What the hell is that thing! Edited July 10, 2018 by Vive_La_Villa 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WakefieldVillan Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 We have had worse. We have had better. I am more concerned about who will be wearing them. I thought they were going to be dreadful to be honest but I quite like them both. 7/10. Not keen on the Luke logo though and I have seen better kit designs from people on here.

rbcuk Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Supposedly we are bringing out a 3rd kit, can’t see when that would be worn tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kieranavfc Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 (edited) Brentford/sheff united/stoke away? or Boro/Forest depending on how much white their kit has Edited July 10, 2018 by kieranavfc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIVillan Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Luke1977 claims to be a villa fan and takes away the blue arms! The homekit also reminds me of the NTL thing worn during the JPA and Ginola Days. They look cheap and for another reference from 80s Kits, like the Henson kit. They look like the cheap Generic Football tops you would buy in bulk for a boys or pub team. As others said seen far superior designs here on VillaTalk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dukes Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 (edited) I think both kits are great. Haven't bought a shirt for years, but will buy the home top. reminds me of the 1984 Mita copiers one. Edited July 10, 2018 by dukes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a weird looking lion with a crown on it's head, a massive tongue sticking out of it's mouth and it's looking back over it's shoulder (presumably at a cauliflower or some other extremely interesting vegetable). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
