ciggiesnbeer Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 (edited) I like the kit. The Cazoo logo and slogan doesn't offend me as a football fan (its fine) it offends me as a businessperson. The CEO of Cazoo needs to have a word with the marketing department. I have no idea what Cazoo sells and I still dont. Maybe something to do with ride shares or a search engine or a car sales chain? I have no idea what they are trying to sell me. Why not use that slogan area you spent a lot of money on to you know just TELL ME? Cazoo. We sell cars cheap. (or whatever your sales proposition is) I wont try and solve your cryptic riddle to figure out what the hell you are selling me. You dont need a slogan, you need a competent marketing department. I hate to see obtuse marketing. Keep it simple and direct. Tell the customer what it is you are offering and dont annoy them.

Having to Google what something means after seeing it five times should only be a requirement for Christopher Nolan movies. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't wear a shirt with tacky slogans. The Nike one with FX Pro had a slogan, that was a nice shirt but the sponsor was rubbish and massive! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imavillan Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 Morning fellow Villains, Can anybody who is going to the club shop do me a favour? I'm interested in buying some of the Castore shorts but would like to know more details about them that there is on the website I'd like to know if any of these shorts have pockets and are any of the pockets zipped. Players Travel Shorts - Dark Red Staff Training Shorts - Black Staff Travel Shorts - Dark Grey If anyone is going to the club shop and could check them out for me and let me know that would be great as i've moved away from Brum down to Devon. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
claretman Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 How do we pronounce Castore? Is it ‘Castorr’ or the more fancy Castore’? I’ve spoken to several people including Newcastle fans and nobody seems to know. I’m assuming the first guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, the owner of Cazoo, also founded Lovefilm and Zoopla and made hundreds of millions of pounds selling them. I'm sure he knows what he is doing and doesn't need a new marketing department! Their tagline is. Search. Drive. Smile. I thought most people knew that Cazoo were an online car supermarket? Same as Cinch, who sponsor the England cricket team. The popularity of these places increased massively during lockdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 I'd go C Blue gives it away for me Definitely not the claret on A or the blue on B but I think maybe the blue on A with the claret on B they'd probably get away with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StanBalaban Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 Shirt looks good on the telly, and the slogan isn't massively visible on screen. Given that it's not betting company plastered on the chest, I'm happy with Cazoo being there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 We look like we're back to the -Esque colors again. I think we had the colours pretty close in the last 2 seasons. Nothing will top the 18/19 colors though. I don't get tired of hyping up that shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted July 9, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted July 9, 2022 (edited) Looked like a right proper Villa kit to me today in the flesh. Why are so many people down on Castore. Is it because they are a new brand and not Nike or Adidas that so many on here seem to covert? Edited July 9, 2022 by sidcow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
