If pushed for what I consider 'The Aston Villa kit' it would be a very close call between this and the 1980/81 kit. Honourable mention for 1992/93 Absolutely good shout on the 92/93, also the 93/94 as well, as it was my 1st kit and it had 'coca cola cup winners on it. Loved that shirt Edited June 12, 2023 by floody555 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder whether there might be a chance of a late change of sponsor for the shirt if Heck has come in and Purslow gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TreeVillan Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 I know it's probably been mentioned in here already but I've just seen the Newcastle kit on the Beeb and it's a beaut. If you cover up the yellow on the sleeve I'd be tempted to say it's one of the best jerseys ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I quite like that V shape myself. Also it's a massive help when the sponsor actually complements the shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whack a great big BK8 on your favourite Villa shirt and see how you get on… Edited June 13, 2023 by Spoony 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WallisFrizz Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 Are we 100% having that sponsor? Not seen anything announced, clinging on to a bit of hope we’ve changed our minds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villaslash Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 Yes, sponsor logo is always an issue. Though maybe not the greatest general shirt design I have my Acorns logo jersey carefully hung in the back of the closet for safe keeping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's honestly one of the worst logos I've ever seen. Reminds me of when Getafe (I think) had Burger King on their shirts. At least the kids will be able to buy the sponsorless version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're banned in two years time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 The age-old thread. Tons of experimental mock-ups, some of which will look better than the actual kit. The kit will arrive later than most clubs and will be a fairly safe middle of the road design. People will say they hate it. And then they sell loads of them.
