OutByEaster? Posted April 23, 2020 Moderator Share Posted April 23, 2020 1 hour ago, John said: I would think that the shirt/sponsor deals were made for the whole season, whenever that might finish. Unless the new shirt sponsor and shirt manufacturer, made some financial adjustment as recompense, I would guess that if we do play, it will be in the same shirts we had been wearing before the stoppage. It's an interesting one - it looks like it works the other way - you pay for the season but your contract ends on 1st July. In the Liverpool case where New Balance and Nike had already been to court about who would be allowed to sponsor them next season, Nike have made a gentleman's agreement to allow Liverpool to continue to wear the New Balance kit for the remainder of this season whenever it ends. It's not a contractual obligation and Nike could have contested that - they've done it to avoid more litigation and because they can afford to be magnanimous having won the initial court case. In general, if you've got a contract, the teams wear your kit - and the contract almost all start on 1st July. I think there will be clubs playing with different sponsors on their shirts after 1st July and I think there will be lawyers everywhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 I already have the navy training t-shirt in large, love the design of the training tshirts, the large is tight, I wouldn't wear it in January Ordered the yellow training jumper from fanatics because they have more stock than the official site and it was on sale, went XL thinking I'd wear something underneath it... I've got about 5 stones worth of growth before I come close to it fitting, it's a ridiculous increase, no where near fits me I should have known better with kappa after the hassle of getting the navy one, I'm more pissed off with them, I really like the training range but it's never available (has the white training top ever actually gone on sale?) and the sizes / fit are wank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted May 30, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted May 30, 2020 So do you think we will carry on playing in the current Kappa kit, with W88 sponsor but then still announce a new kit before all the games are played? Or would we wait until all games are played of this season and then announce the next one? Or a third option where we start using the new kit on 1st July regardless?

We will probably be unable to wear the current kit and the new kit wont be ready til August as usual so the players have to play in their underpants. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then my face is probably too fat or round for one, the adult size is probably only made for an equivalent of a 10 year old child's size face. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha ha. Underpants and school shoes, as was customary back at primary school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will stick to the underwhelming shirt until the season ends. And then after a long wait which will be more than most sides, a entirely new claret and blue shirt will be unveiled with a different betting company vomiting all over it. And it will be charged at £55 for middle aged blokes to squeeze into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 The villa face masks are in support of Acorns as well so they are for a good cause at least and not trying to profit off it 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Deano & Dalian's Umbrella Posted June 18, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 18, 2020 (edited) My other main hobby, apart from Villa, is collecting and reading Marvel and DC comics from the mid-60s to mid-90s. I was just reading an Avengers comic when I realised that this season's 3rd kit bears an uncanny resemblance to the costume of a character in the Avengers - Wonder Man!

I've just bought a hoody off the avfc store, reduced to £30, plain black with a silver Crest and kappa logo, the first bit of villa stuff I've bought since the second macrom kit 8 years ago. Bit miffed about £5 for delivery mind, especially as it's only royal mail (at most would cost £3 for me to send a parcel like this) and it will take 7 days to arrive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Overall I've liked our kits this season, from a distance anyway as I'm aware close up they look badly put together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Ordered the away kit about a month ago when it was on sale like 75%, still waiting for it Really curious as to the quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Just now, villa4europe said: Quality is ok Fit is horrific, properly **** horrific Surprised they don't just outright call it vacuum packed fit That's why I ordered a size up, as Kappa are apparently notorious for this. From looking at the players wearing it, the sleeves look way too long for no reason whatsoever. The whole kit looks uncomfortable to wear. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spray Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 I bought this seasons shirt early on, wore it once then sold it before the rona lock down for not much of a loss. Utter sh*te, everything about it sucked. The sooner we bin krappa off the better. Got myself a proper shirt, a 1997 AST computers home v neck instead, I could frame this beauty.
