July. @NurembergVillan Can you share some insight into why the AV kit always seems the last one to be released? Why do we always have to wait until July?

I'd expect next summer, given it should still be Kappa and W88, we'll get our shirts earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We rarely have a manufacturer AND sponsor the same every year. Either that or we're lower down the pecking order for the brands we've been with. There are a multitude of possible reasons beyond the main one, but it's essentially - if the kit goes into manufacture late, or needs changing AFTER manufacture, it'll be late going on the shelves.

Perhaps the late 80s-esque split stripe pattern on the white one? Seems like it was commented on earlier in this thread as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's just an Aston Villa thing at this point 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's just an Aston Villa thing at this point Macron and Dafabet were only 2 seasons together, 2013-14 and 2014-15. And both of those periods had significantly earlier reveals than we are used to. The 09-10 Away kit was revealed 24 May and the Home soon after. The 2014-15 Home kit was revealed 2 June and the Away a week later, again much earlier than the usual July reveal, although still a bit late compared to some. For what ever reason we always seem to get a new sponsor a year before the manufacturer deal ends and vice versa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted June 21, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted June 21, 2019 This from the FCG minutes was interesting Quote We can’t comment on how the Fanatics deal has been presented in the past, however, we are confident that the Kappa partnership will supply us with the appropriate levels of kit to meet demand. Aston Villa is of very high priority to Kappa in their football portfolio. Kappa have expressed a desire to meet with fan representatives to consult on kit design for season 2020/2021 – this is something the club will be happy to facilitate. To me that suggests the Kappa deal isn't the same as the previous deal. And the final line would suggest Kappa most certainly are involved in designing the kit.

ThunderPower_14 Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 I'm sure Luke had a say in the design of the kit last season, he just would have been working with Fanatics in house designers to ensure they could achieve his vision. I'm sure it will be the same with Kappa. Am I wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
