I have no idea why we seem to be down the list on the release date of kits, it doesn't seem to have changed with the owners or when we have changed the kit manufacturers? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But of course, it definately wasn't a Purslow problem. So who's problem is it? Who do we blame? Nicola Keye? Nicola Ibbeston? Doris? Other clubs have no problem launching theirs.. new sponsor or not. What's our excuse? Newcastle bought their sponsor out Not sure if anyone else has But like I said it's nothing new, under Lerner we had Nike kits being launched in October Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but who's accountable? FWIW, Maybe a lesson moving forward for these "experts" in this area when signing up any new sponsor/kit supplier would be to have an expiring deadline if you will, so this kind of thing comes to an end. It's frustrating for fans to go through this crap every season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wezbid Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 Just take less sponsorship money for an 10/11 month deal and end this madness! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
withes_shin Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 Can't understand why a sponsorship deal has to run until end of June, when the season finishes in May. Surely all the publicity for the sponsor is during the season when their logo is plastered all over Sky, Amazon, MOTD, internet, newspapers and any other outlets that want a piece of the Premier League pie. Even when the season ends their sponsorship will still be included on historic photographs, season reviews, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

floody555 Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 I think they must be gearing up soon for a release as I noticed on the recent email about weekend sale on last season shirts that 'CAZOO' was removed. So I checked the Vila website and at the bottom they've also been removed from principle partners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it didn't. Maybe we've finally bitten the bullet to sacrifice a month's income in order to get a contract that runs for a reasonable time frame.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once they launch the new one, basically everything on the site becomes obsolete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roitorb Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 (edited) I actually think the new badge is the hold up. They want everything at Villa Park sorted first. Edited June 16, 2023 by Roitorb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah not to mention the concerts happening at VP at the moment, I'm sure this would be holding the changes to the stands. The Holte for instance has the brick work mosaic to change, I doubt that could take place with people walking around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s more art than branding (leaving aside arguments about whether the subject of that art was any good). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember getting it for Xmas as an 11 year old and thinking I was gonna be the next Andy Gray when I put it on.....I know, I know, jumpers for goalposts etc etc.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Townsend Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Nostalgia is a huge part of the football experience. Remembering great games, big wins, childhood, great kits. I Don't understand why some people get so irritated by it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
