They all look good. There's nothing in there for people to be worried about. I couldn't comment on the fit, though, as I've not seen them on body. There's a bit of modernity, a bit of history and some elements to bring back fond memories. I think people will be happy.

Villarocker 4,399 Posted April 14, 2019 Report Share Posted April 14, 2019 I hope we have nice looking kits for our first season back in the top flight! Kappa is uninspiring so let's hope they allow Luke a bit of input. Link to post Share on other sites

Shame if we don't keep Luke1977 on, I was sceptical at first but this years kits have been great and I think the overall partnership has worked well. Link to post Share on other sites

Would love for Luke to get another go. I wouldn't go quite that far - but I am 55 !!! Best kit for many a year - I like the fact that it is a unique kit, not just claret and blue blobbed onto an Adidas stencil !

VT Supporter Taxahunter 368 Posted April 15, 2019 VT Supporter Report Share Posted April 15, 2019 I miss the blue sleeves. I loved last seasons kit, Under Armor, and the shirt did fit perfectly Link to post Share on other sites
dont_do_it_doug. 18,311 Posted April 15, 2019 Report Share Posted April 15, 2019 I hate the Luke kits, the fit is terrible. Nice designs, love the 3rd kit, but fit first and foremost for me. I'm glad of the change. Link to post Share on other sites
sne 21,139 Posted April 16, 2019 Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 I think the Luke kits are nice, but not that special. My initial reaction was very positive but they've faded a bit on me. Good effort and all that but I'm happy we are moving to another brand. Think it was a very nice one off deal, just like when we had Acorns on the kit, but I wouldn't want it long term.

sidcow 15,139 Posted April 16, 2019 Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 I'm more interested in who the sponsor on the front will be. I desperately need a new top but don't want to walk around with some betting company logo on display. Hopefully the new owners have the contacts for a more classy shirt sponsor. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
VT Supporter wilko154 3,799 Posted April 16, 2019 VT Supporter Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 Looking back the Under Armour kits were awful. The colours were completely wrong, it annoys me everytime I see one at Villa Park. Link to post Share on other sites

It's all about the £££'s. Whoever pays the most is who they'll choose and most likely it will be a betting company. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Too tight around the chest. I mean insanely tight, then too baggy in the arms and too long all round as you move up a size. I honestly can't work out what sized human they're designed for. It might be a modern thing, but it really doesn't work for me. The players shirts look a much better fit. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Was about to say this lol. Pretty confident the players are in better shape than 99 percent of us. I agree with him on arms and length though. Link to post Share on other sites

They might well be manufactured by Fanatics next season too, regardless of the badge. Link to post Share on other sites
