I don't think any footballing bodies would ever do likewise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post mottaloo Posted June 22, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted June 22, 2018 Is anyone else getting totally bored with this teasing, "show em just a bit, no....not too much...not yet" approach the club's merchandising/marketing depts are using ? Two things spring to mind here : 1. Other teams sometimes play their last league game in next season's kit, thereby giving fans an opportunity to buy in plenty time for holidays etc. 2. Aren't the club in too much of a supposedly embarrassing position to be fannying around with the launch, like we're still the Bertie big B*ll*cks we think we are ? Stop messing around and give the fans something to look forward to. I mean, judging by the amount of season tickets already snapped up, I think they deserve it. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Plus you’d think getting it on sale quicker would help a cash strapped club get a few more million in the accounts too 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends on when the Under Armour deal actually finishes I think. You'd only play the last game in next season's kit if you were keeping the same manufacturer and sponsor. Giving out teasers is probably all they can do at the moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually buy my shirts towards the end of the season as I refuse to pay £40 odd for something I am going wear around the house. In April I bought my daughter the away shirt but I couldn't find a size M anywhere and now nowhere seems to have them for sale other than ebay. Last year the home and away kits from the previous season were readily available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's all about honouring the present manufacturers contract then that's fair enough i guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 I can't remember a single season where we wore our new kits on the last game of the season. They always seem to be released a couple of weeks before the actual season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheEgo Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Actually really enjoyed this read on Luke Roper the new kit designer. Thought I'd share it. https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/son-youre-villa-fan-aston-14841401 Aston Villa fan Luke Roper has got the gig to create the kits for next season. Quote Luke, the founder of leading menswear fashion brand Luke 1977, is buzzing about the prospect of Villa wearing his designs in 2018/19. The link-up was announced in May, the kits are good to go and all will be revealed ahead of the club's first pre season friendlies in mid-July. Here, in his own words the lad from Walsall Wood shares the cracking story of his claret and blue allegiances and the remarkable rise of his fashion brand.

I've just checked on companies House and there are documents stating that Tony has borrowed 38p against the value of the collar. God knows what he would do if he owned the whole shirt.
