This is still my all-time favorite third shirt we have had Not a Kappa fit that. They would probably get 3 jerseys out of the same amount of fabric 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You, the Melvillan too...likely more. Ongoing though, I guess that gives me some entertainment to make half times more interesting.

So for them, a large is supposed to fit like that on a large person. Where we get into differences is what constitutes a large person. I'm a large. Ezri Konsa probably is too. We all know who's going to look good in a Villa shirt and who isn't! Kappa is designed for athletes, so that's how they create their fit. What I'd do differently, and have in the past, is create a different fit for fans - a bigger difference than there currently is with Kappa. We've been reviewing the new kit designs for our Twitter feed and the Kappa one is far narrower than other pro shirts. But that's the fit, not the size. Thanks Rob, what you're saying makes sense. FWIW however, I don't think Ezri looks too bad in a Villa shirt 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted August 18, 2021 Moderator Share Posted August 18, 2021 Nephew went today to spend his birthday money. Good news for fans of Nakamba, Cash or Konsa - still no E's or I's available for shirt printing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s terrible really and in school holidays when kids want shirts with their favourite players on the back. So player names like Mings, Watkins, Buendia unavailable? Imagine kids wanting a goalkeeper shirt but sorry you can’t have a Martinez one? Shocking. No excuse for stock levels being so low. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if the shop weren't in on it, I just assumed someone in power had blocked the supply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness to Kappa, ALL of their kits throughout history have been like this. I used to own a Roma shirt, circa 2002 back when I was 9 stone ringing wet and had to buy a medium because I couldn't breath in a small. I wish I had kept it, although I would probably struggle to get it over my head these days. I mean honestly, for me, I prefer a close fit to the following variety. All due respect to the memories and the man himself... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Your Round Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 I’ve just noticed that the title to this thread has no letter I’s. I can’t work out whether that’s because the mods have changed it inline with the club shop E and I drought, or whether it’s just classic @Demitri_C spelling?

Yeah, I’d have thought that would have been one of the main differences between a ‘Stadium’ shirt and a ‘Pro’ shirt, to be honest, but it seems like even Kappa’s stadium shirt sizes are a bit tighter than most other sport’s clothing companies.
