a m ole Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 It’s important to remember that there’s very few things people will agree on when it comes to kits, so decisions will be majority based on what the brand think will make them the money. What’s gonna sell a kit to me isn’t going to sell it to a beer belly old bloke who wants a red and dark blue kit with a round badge but they can’t do both. Design aside I’m not sure they look particularly nice quality but I’ve not seen one in hand obviously. Also I have a negative reaction the the brand for whatever reason which doesn’t help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heaven forbid an adult might want a football shirt to play football in, or an athletic performance shirt to work out or run in, or wear their clubs colours to a football game. Or give money (indirectly) to the club they support. Or actually just make decisions on how to live their life… Edited June 1, 2022 by a m ole 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wear them to the gym mostly, they’re ideal for that and I get to rep Villa in amongst all the local Leeds, Sheffield Wednesday and United fans.

Get yer pallet out of the lads Quite like them all, at least until @Davkauspointed out the difference in colour of the badge on the away kit. At least one of those shades is wrong, possibly even both if they’re not the same as the sleeves on the home shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 I don't wear them as don't like the feel of material that football tops are made from, but have to say looking at those pictures on page 24 I think they look quite nice, probably best looking ones since Luke.

I haven’t had a Villa shirt since I was a kid. The same argument applies to most items of sports wear. The possible exception being trainers, providing they’re not too flash. For example a pair of Adidas Samba is fine. I have a pair of Rockports I bought in the States almost 10 years ago. I thought about buying a denim jacket a few years ago but my wife shot the idea down almost immediately. Maybe I’m just an old fart, I’m definitely turning into my Dad. Turning into my Dad is on the whole a wonderful thing though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Football tops are perfect for the summer, much better than t-shirts at least as they're actually designed to keep you cool. Plus they're stylish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm late twenties, from the ages of 6-16 I'd say the latest Villa home and/or away shirt was first on my Christmas list every year without fail. Probably haven't bought one since, I see way too many middle aged blokes out and about or indeed at matches with a replica football shirt bulging over their spherical beer-afflicted stomach with a 21-year olds name and number on the back to change my mind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point, we make comments in the transfer thread with no intention of forking out a few million quid. Admittedly I often wonder why I go into this particular thread when I know I won’t buy a shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mottaloo Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Not important I know but those dots/airholes on the back of the shirts annoy me. Is it a castore signature mark ? Meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avfc456 Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Kits are all smart imo, with the exception of the ghastly print on badge, the one thing Kappa got absolutely spot on with that nice rubberised badge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You moved on to claret and blue Fred Perry polo shirts yet?! I've got a few kappa training tops and 1 shirt, plus an England and Germany shirt from the euros but that's because I play once or twice a week and at home I'm constantly in shorts and tshirt, they do serve a purpose The only thing that's changed as I've got older is my refusal to pay full price for any of it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of that I have no doubt. I suppose - and this is purely my (possibly way too cynical) opinion that I associate plastic and tourist fans that you see populating the front rows of the new Spurs stadium, Old Trafford, the Emirates, Etihad and Anfield as the ones wearing the latest box-fresh replica gear from head to toe (including replica headphones as an added extra if you're of an Arsenal persuasion!) or as they've just hand-picked a successful team to support from a million miles away to sort of overprove that they are true 'supporters' of that club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
