omariqy Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 The Luke and Kappa kits are both manufactured by the same people aren't they? I am sure we have this conversation every 6 months. In fact I don't even think Luke had too much a say in the design of the famous kit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, certainly last years and the Luke kits were manufactured by Fanatics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The away is ok, but I still think it's weird. The Luke ones are the best kits we've had for 30 years to be honest Not a chance. I have already stated on here I can not see the love in with Luke. Luke didnt design or manufacturer the kit, just stuck a bloody ugly looking badge on it that looked cheap. I disliked the home kit and the white away was okay but as some said a bit boring. Gold Standard for me is 74-81 But you state last 30 years hence the reply and not a chance. The Umbro kits for example from the first part of that period out do luke easily. Includes the round neck with strings. We have had some disgusting kits in that time, mainly anything involving thick stripes. Last years 3rd kit is really nice when you see it in real life , just I dont see it as a Villa kit due to the colours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like it was designed by a person equally obsessed with medieval larping and Villa that couldn't decide which of their great loves they wanted to show off. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoever designed it, they're the nicest kits we've had in 30 years, imo. My admiration of the kits has nothing to do with Luke. In fact I see Luke as a very chavvy clothing brand (no offence anyone) so my admiration of the kit is in spite of Luke, if anything. 12 minutes ago, NIVillan said: But you state last 30 years hence the reply and not a chance.

Whilst those kits are iconic I don't actually think they're that nice. But even if they are, that's one set of kits from 30 years ago so not a bad estimation. It's all about opinions isn't it? I don't see anything special about this year's kits at all. The home kit is almost identical to half a dozen kits we've had over the past 25 or so years but with weird fits, weird sleeves, and weird sponsor/badge placements. The away kit is nicer but again I think the collar is very weird and the blue pinstripes don't really work. Blue and black isn't a great combination, again in my opinion Edited August 25, 2020 by Stevo985 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Not a fan. I find it is a slight bit more baggy than last years and when you are a stud like me it kind of takes away a bit of my chiseled body. I hope all you fat bastards are happy. Hit the treadmill. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That, though I never liked the kit to wear because of the medieval larping. But probably remembered fondly it will be associated with one of the Best Villa Teams over past 30 years when they were runners up under Big Ron. I liked the previous season Umbro white away that had a black and blue boxes on the sleeves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked when it released the yellow Macron Shirt and my son wanted it but up close I went straight of it and the material just felt so cheap and thin. Personally feel some of the 2000s kits were far better than that Luke Kit, just they are associated with total shite teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MNVillan Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Question for other international supporters. Got an email today saying my order has shipped with P2P-IPP and to allow 20-30 business days for arrival. Is it really that long of a wait???
