I'm always amazed when I see people at VP wearing this. They actually walk around town wearing that, it boggles the mind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And even if we do it shouldn't look like something out of a marvel movie ! We don't, but unfortunately people at the top want get a few more quid out of us, every team has a somewhat bizarre third kid nowadays badged under a nod to past colours etc Our first deal with Nike we got a black 3rd kit with claret shorts, looked really smart, never wore it on the pitch though It was a man utd away shirt from 4 seasons before, Nike stuck our crest on it and charged 50 quid Edited October 29, 2019 by Jimzk5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 (edited) I don’t mind the third kit. It’s something different. If I can lose 2 stone before the season ends I might buy it. Edited October 29, 2019 by Vive_La_Villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMelvillan Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 semi off topic but just saw an interview with Jack Grealish and he was asked why he wore such small socks. He said that one of the years that Macron supplied the kit the socks kept shrinking in the wash and he kept wearing them regardless, had a cracking season and then decided to keep wearing small socks therefafter. shows that even the player issued stuff was kinda crappy back then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted October 30, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted October 30, 2019 I quite like the third kit. I just wish they'd not added the, ahem, 'stained glass inspired' detail. Because it looks shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 I've always loved the 94 away kit just because of the memories, it's a lovable monstrosity and I have actually come round to the design of the new 3rd kit, my issues with the kits this season are all manufacturer issues with the design, cut, panelling, shoulders, QC issues, wonky badges and lastly that they are so bloody hard to get hold of in a size that fits a normal person. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Honestly think the 3rd kit is the best of the lot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did we ? - I thought we had multiple kits over the seasons - but its wrong to say it was exclusively white in the 1970's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIVillan Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Need something clearing up. People are whinging about this seasons Kappa Kits (I dont think they look too bad and my two boys kits have no QC issues with badges etc) and saying that we should return to Luke (I personally didnt like the Luke Kits). Isnt the kits produced/made by the same people - Fanatics and Kappa and Luke were basically fronts for the design. So it didnt matter if it was Luke or Kapp this year we would have the same issues with Quality and quantity/supply. Anyone have an idea about this?

From around 74 onwards (after promotion in 75 we would have played West Ham in Div 1) we had the Classic Umbro kit that had a White away strip. We kept that basic design until 1981 when we changed to Le Coq Sportif (Still a white away Strip). A Friend was at the game (well this is the story he tld) they first wore the Yellow strip in a preseason friendly. Villa ran out and teh fans booed them as they didnt realise it was the Villa! Could be just an urban myth mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So two different designers but exactly the same manufacturer of the kit. Meaning the same supply and quality issues whether Kappa or Luke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
