Walmley_Villa Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 The highest payer always gets the gig - Castore offering us more than anyone else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Castore is a growing brand - it makes sense from a commercial sponsor. I hope this means with more income we can move away from more illegitimate sponsors. I just hope the finished product is something worth the wait.

MrBlack Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 (edited) Couldn't care less who makes the kit at the moment. We need the FFP headroom from whoever pays the most, rather than a big name, while we play catch up to the big boys. That said, the kits have been leaked, they're clearly in production, why on earth are they waiting before launching it. New supplier... same old mistakes.

Popular Post fightoffyour Posted May 31, 2022 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted May 31, 2022 People complain about everything ffs. First it's the kits aren't traditional enough, now they're too boring. Then the sizing is wrong for our massive guts and now the quality is crap before even touching it. The new kits look fine, safe, will probably look great on the players. The sizing will be back to standard, the quality will be good as someone said the Wolves stuff is. What's wrong with a little bit of positivity, it's just a **** shirt and shorts. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People acting like this is our new kit it’s not that deep. Just stating sponsor background. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thabucks Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 The brand snob in me wanted Adidas or Nike (even after the way they treated us) but we’d just be another name in their portfolio with as things currently stand. The hipster in me wanted New Balance and initially was disappointed with Castore but now it’s announced I’m over it and at least we have someone whom will grow with us as we both bid to become bigger and more successful. Then we sign the mega bucks deal with Adidas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingram85 Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 (edited) **** July for home kit and the months (plural) for away and then third kit? Oh and that’s not purchase the kit it’s ‘get a glimpse of’. Wtaf lol. Joke of a club at times. We know what the kits look like but need to wait a month to see it properly? What about a release date to purchase it? Good Lord lol.

floody555 Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 My god Villa Twitter is insufferable sometimes, we now have fans moaning 'oh it's not being released until July, don't they want to make money' What it actually says is the below (just a snippet) or see link https://www.avfc.co.uk/news/2022/may/31/aston-villa-and-castore-sign-landmark-multi-year-partnership--/ 'The new home kit will be unveiled ahead of Villa’s pre-season tour to Australia in July' So what I read is, yes it's going to be unveiled before our Tour of Australia which is in July, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's going to be a July release, just that it's before. I mean June is before our tour of Australia in July Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
