peterw Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 At least I'd look slimmer in that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoony Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Please no more call backs to old kits, none of this 82 stuff or anything else historical. I’m a bit sick of this club always looking at the past tbh. Something new and fresh, like the Luke kits. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
withes_shin Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Have we still got Kappa making the kits for next season?, only I'm sure I saw Richard O'Kelly wearing an adidas cap on Sunday. Then again he was still wearing the Luke cap when we had Kappa. Just an observation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AvfcRigo82 Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 I would love it if Kappa were to release a white shirt for next season in the range somewhere of away or 3rd kit. If they do.. I hope they make more than 50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only good kit Macron made for us: And the absolute king of the castle: The Luke kits are the best kits we've had in decades, imo Add that to the season that culminated with promotion via Wembley, with a Villa fan as kit maker, manager and captain makes a very special mix. The Luke kits will always provoke fond memories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 I'm sad I never bought a Luke shirt - they're very hard to find now and were excellent. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are only so many combinations you can do with 2 colours. Unless they all wear spacesuits. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 (edited) I'm actually coming around to this pre match shirt. Kinda wish it was our away kit instead of the one we have. Minus the dark trim Edited July 15, 2020 by sne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I didn't buy into the hype about the Luke Kits cause as you said I had seen them before in 83/84 (Not sure what exactly we were celebrating about that period of time though. Withe scoring a hattrick in the UEFA Cup? I still cant understand the glorification of the Luke Kits. Feel like I am the only one looking at the Emperor with new clothes. Luke Roper did not design the kits, he paid for his emblem to be on the kits, sort of a shirt sponsorship. Probably best money he paid seeing all the glory he gets. The ones who designed the kits and produced the kits were the same people who run our club shop and they take a battering off our fans (rightly so for stock levels). I might not be right but I think it was going to be the same sort of deal with this years kits but Kappa said they wanted more of a say in the design. I also think this years kits are far better than the Luke ones. Even Macron some of their designs were not too bad (and they tried to be different as was requested) but the quality fell short. Umbro has always been the peak for me when it comes to Villa Kits, though nowadays they are not the same company after being gutted by Nike.

When we have a bad season=shirt is crap. Personally I think the 93/94 shirts are horrific but because we beat Man United at Wembley its seen as a cult classic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Im the same never really liked those shirts especially the black,red and green thing. This years version has grown on me as bought it the boys when it went cheap but not as a Villa kit. I had that striped home kit as well but that was because I nearly died in hospital and was bought it as a way of cheering me up. Wore it for that season but not much after. Good Job we didnt win the Cup in 2000 because the kits that year were disgusting as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 I have never liked this one. It's too busy and the sponsor (still can't remember what it's called apart from its a betting site) takes up most of the shirt. A mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a retro Champions of Europe shirt that I wear when I want to show off the claret and blue, but with current shirts I make sure to buy the craziest one we release every year. Just my style, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted July 16, 2020 Moderator Share Posted July 16, 2020 I've had a mooch and it would seem that we shouldn't be too late this summer - I've also noted that we're 8 weeks away from the new season, not 6 weeks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
