Midfielder Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 The older I get, the more the Kappa logo makes me think of a bloke and his missus who've had a row. Like she's all mad at him because their flight has been delayed or something and so they just have to sit it out in the packed Departures lounge until her mood wears off. Naturally, he's done nothing wrong, but she's not having it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingram85 Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 I’ll reserve judgement until I see it proper but if it is that then meh, why are they so scared to use more than two colours on a kit? The away is boring to me due to just being white and claret and this looks the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Salad Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 If that is ultimately the third shirt then a big meh from me. This is still my all-time favorite third shirt we have had 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel left out that this was absent from my childhood, but now, I can't unsee it. You, the Melvillan too...likely more. Ongoing though, I guess that gives me some entertainment to make half times more interesting. Image off Google: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NurembergVillan Posted August 18, 2021 Moderator Share Posted August 18, 2021 19 hours ago, StanBalaban said: Out of curiosity @NurembergVillan, is there any reason why Kappa's sizing strategy is markedly different to others? Living overseas, I rely on ordering online via the club shop to get a Villa shirt, but not knowing what size corresponds to the equivalent "regular" shirt sizing stops me spending the money. International returns are just a faff that stops the impulse buys. Surely I can't be the only one? This is where we could disappear into the weeds of the industry, but essentially I don't think their sizing strategy is different, it's their fit strategy. 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. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
