TheMelvillan Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 simple solution is to ask Michael Beale what size he wears in all the kit. He certainly sports a more...relatable figure for the average Villa fan 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuwabatake Sanjuro Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 A nice little Villa kit related article here: https://museumofjerseys.com/2021/12/16/first-time-shirts-aston-villa-1990/ Quote What counts as your first football shirt? I don’t mean to apply frustrating fine margins to this piece before I even start, but the line between replica and rip-off can sometimes be VAR-thin. There would have been plenty of young Arsenal or Everton fans walking around in the sixties and seventies for whom a simple long-sleeve jersey did the trick, and who wouldn’t have felt the chill of an appraising eye until the weird and wonderful departures from those solid blocks of colour forced the issue. But the question’s an important one. Is it just colour that makes your shirt, or is it the sponsor, the league badges, the intricacy of the knit? Or something more intangible woven into the fabric? Even though it would have been slightly harder for an Aston Villa fan to source an off-the-peg version of the famous claret and blue, any approximation would have been helped by the fact the basic home template hadn’t changed since the turn of the century, the varying cut of the collar notwithstanding. But by the time of my first game in the late 1980s, the classic lines which had reached their apex in the sublime designs of the title- and European Cup winning seasons were long gone, blurred by polyester. Our form seemed dyed into the ill-considered colours, the slide beginning with the acquired tastes of the later Le Coq Sportif-supplied kits. Any fan knew as soon as they clocked the truly horrific Henson efforts that relegation was a certainty. Even the club seemed embarrassed, removing the badge and opting for an apologetic ‘AVFC’ near the left shoulder.

Enda Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Doing a spring clean and found about fifteen old Villa jerseys. The white and purple checkerboard away one. That manky illuminous green one. Some of them literally never worn because they were presents that didn’t fit me. I’ll keep one or two but let’s be honest I’ll never wear most of them. Is there a better way than eBay to find them a new home? Any tips of getting rid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the shirts was birthday present that was just too big for me. So if anyone sees some lad in Ghana walking around in a Villa shirt with “Enda #30” on the back of it you’ll know how that one happened. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuwabatake Sanjuro Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 One other thing I liked about today was the claret socks, Villa kits look classier with Claret socks and despite not being first choice too often in recent years is still traditionally the most common sock colour used by the club. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May-Z Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 I enjoyed the black socks with claret and blue turnovers we had with the last Nike kit. I think black is a fairly common sock colour in our history too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
