OutByEaster? Posted June 18, 2021 Moderator Share Posted June 18, 2021 As of 1st June, you could buy shirts for the 2021-22 season for eight of the twenty teams in the Premier League. That's the group I'd like us to be in. I think we'll be at least a month behind that group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mic09 Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 I really don't understand this strategy by Villa. Many people would buy a shirt to wear it throughout the summer. Excitement by signings can only drive sales. I get it might take longer if we change sponsors or manufacturers, but that isn't the case this year - can someone please tell me, why do we have to wait so long?

I mentioned something similar to this in the FCG Meeting thread the other day. I’m fed up with our new kits being one of last to be released/available. My kids want to wear our new kit over the summer holidays but can rarely do so. Last year it was mid September before sizes were available for my two. By then they aren’t really bothered and it’s only pushed by me. The club are missing out greatly here and this summer there really is no excuse, as manufacturer and sponsor are the same? 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's frustrating, especially when you see teams like Chelsea, Liverpool, Man City etc. wearing their new kit for the next season at a cup final etc. in May.

Yep, and the excuse was always that we'd changed a sponsor or manufacturer and had to wait until the old contract was up to release the new kit, but this year we don't have that excuse and it's just the same as usual. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 Yeah it is bizarre that every season we are one of the last to release the kit. Surely the earlier the better. Some clubs wear the next season kit in the last home game of the previous season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted June 19, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted June 19, 2021 Does anyone know if other teams tend to release their kits sooner than us? Suprised there are no comments about that on here already to be honest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suprised there are no comments about that on here already to be honest. Would help with shirt sales as kids would want them for summer holidays. Always seems to be delays due to sponsors not being confirmed, so shouldn't be an issue as cazoo is the same sponsor as last season.
