West Ham's shirt has the entire top half in sky blue this season. I imagine we'll wear it against them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People on Twitter have been complaining of this sort of issue I was 100% going to buy the away kit but the quality control on these has been so bad I don't think i'll bother.

Ingram85 Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 It looks like a blind child with no hands has tried to trace a Villa badge. Christ that's awful. **** me can we sack this deal off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the worst Villa kits I can remember in recent times on the top of my head. The purple and white squared Macron one was also ghastly. That's your problem, you're meant to put your head through the hole and pull it down over your body. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Third shirt could have been nice if it were all green and didn't have the black sleeves. What a terrible combination. Don't think I'll be buying a kit this year unless there's a massive sale. I like the away kit, but until they sort out QA I'm not touching it.

Sheffield utd, maybe Southampton, I would expect there will be some away game on TV that we pick to wear that shirt, im sure we launched the 3rd kit last year based around a live game that we wore it the go to guru Nuremberg will tell me they don't base it on black and white TVs anymore but theres still a clash with teams in red and white stripes in reality I think the 3rd kit is just an "out there" kit, they probably produce fewer of them but its done in the hope that someone who thinks the home and away kits are boring (me!) will think the 3rd offers something different and will buy it (im not - I think its shit) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe NurembergVillan can correct me but I think there's usually one big production run for jerseys for the season and then that's it. So fanatics (?) would have manufactured X thousand jerseys in one big batch and this is designed to last for the season. So it could be hit and miss on quality all season as there may not be a second production run. Edited August 22, 2019 by villa89 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alreadyexists Posted August 24, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted August 24, 2019 Saw a good few people at VP last night with both the home and away shirts, but those puffy shoulders are awful... is that just poor attention to detail or is it intentional? Either way, won’t be buying a kappa shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get what the pattern is meant to be, but it doesn't work imo. I do appreciate the effort to give a few nods to our history. Just not sure it's been executed particularly well there. It has a kind of Aztec/Mesoamerican feel to it I quite like. I certainly prefer it to that revolting Asics shirt Edited August 24, 2019 by Humanoid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtkinsonWonderGoal Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 I thought I saw a fair few fakes last night in the holte. Some really bright blue arms. Brighter than the ones in the shops and those around them. Any one know or seen fakes on offer anywhere??? I haven't seen or heard of any - but the colour difference in the two near each other was obvious. Night and day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The deal can't continue into next season surely? The club most have some kind of contact with the fans 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weren’t we told that last season shirts were the biggest selling ever? We were in the Championship then. Of course they were beautiful kits.

MNVillan Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 I think Villa debuted their 3rd shirt in a cup match last season. Maybe they do the same thing this year and wear it on Tuesday? Doubt the club would release it on a weekend, so that would leave a Monday or Tuesday morning release. We’re starting to run out of days in August.

AtkinsonWonderGoal Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Cant wait for the 3rd kit. Also, the yellow pre match top looked wonderful in the club shop last night...real throw back to the old mita copiers yellow top from the early 90s.

blunther Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 I still think it's mad how much football shirts are. Fifty odd quid? That's half my clothes budget for a year. I ain't paying that to have some crappy Chinese gambling company plastered all over me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
