Our proper shades of claret and blue. Not our modern purple and pale light blue. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0Lamptey Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 I'm sure the new kits will look a lot better when they are modelled by the players and professionally photographed, but can't help but be very disappointed by these. The home is fine, but I don't see any real bespoke details or any any design elements that derive from the identity of the Club. This is something that Kappa seemed to work really hard on. The loss of the textured badge is also really sad. Is this a cost cutting thing I wonder? I also feel Kappa struck a really nice balance between tradition for the older fans and more daring designs that younger fans could wear as 'streetwear'. The third is a stab at that I suppose, but it seems to be a generic pattern and colour choices. As a set, it all just looks really bland to me. Good old Cazoo though, at least they let us change the colour of their logo to suit the kits. They feel like kits from 5-10 years ago to me. Major step backwards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fightoffyour Posted May 10, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted May 10, 2022 (edited) Of course they will sell. Quite like the blue one by the way. The sleeves on the home kit look weird, like a bib, but I suspect it will look better on the players as always. Third kit is quite fine just doesn't compare to the black from last season which is actually one of my favourites of recent times.

Well I know I'm not the only one that was thinking about buying a new shirt next season who has now decided he's definitely not. Lost revenue is lost revenue, scale that up to a few thousand people who don't want to wear Castore shit and it starts to hurt business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fightoffyour Posted May 10, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted May 10, 2022 (edited) Anecdotal evidence, and these people haven't even seen it modelled properly yet. Or in fact officially announced. Edited May 10, 2022 by fightoffyour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always hoped for an old Adidas trifoil logo version with 3 claret stripes on the sleeves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it's anecdotal evidence, this is a discussion forum, not a profit/loss audit But two supporters who often buy shirts have told you they're not interested in this one. There will be many many more. Whatever, I'm sure Purslow will manage to spin this deal to make himself look good.

Ingram85 Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 I’m not going to say I won’t buy any of them. Of course I’ll wait to see how they look on a person first but first impressions aren’t the best. They just look cheap and boring but hopefully my mind is changed once we see them modelled and in professional photos. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 I think you have to factor in the entire range of products not just the kits, that for me is why kappa seemingly went scattergun with a huge training kit range, they'll get you to buy something and from what I've seen for rangers at least castore are even bigger Said before kappa didn't sell a villa hoodie, they only sold one baseball cap and I think two woolly hats It doesn't just have to be the kit that you buy, it just has to be in the club shop and like kappa I think some of the range will appeal to me even if the kits don't, I only bought 1 kappa kit and that was this year's home shirt for £30 in the sale, I've got about 5 training tops though (I still play...)
