moose Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 So we're going to monitor "global reaction" to the new badge? Whose reaction are we monitoring? People are either Villa fans or they aren't and maybe if the internet gets filled with randomers from Upper Umbobo saying they don't like it they'll take their views over those of the fans living within 20 miles of the ground? Bonkers. The fact that some clubs are popular in the vast Asian market is because they wear red. Nothing else. Absolutely nothing else. We don't wear red. Yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reivax_Villa Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 (edited) The marketing roll out has been poor. That video should have been the first piece of content on all Villa platforms.. That would have got us on side. The statement and release of the photos should have come after.. The video itself is a masterpiece.. Yet i cannot find the video on any Villa platforms??

Come on, everyone knows Villa fans don't live that close to the city centre. Impossible to find a ViLeR in a pub in town. Mate. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 I think a lot of really bad people are going to say they like the shirt once they've seen it in real life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StewieGriffin Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Wasnt part of the reasoning for announcing the current badge as one of the final 2 contenders that they thought it (and the Gaslight one) would "respond well on digital media" or something? And now we're announcing that we, erm, aren't going to use it on digital media? Absolutely baffling. As mentioned previously, Heck has clearly seen the badge and vomited all over his laptop. I wonder to what extent the players are briefed in design or choices? As fans we can choose not to buy it, but the players dont have a choice. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BG_Villa_Fan Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Other than the shoulders and the sponsor logo it's not horrible, just meh. That said, if West Ham were releasing that kit I would've mocked it relentlessly tbh. Let's hope it becomes super iconic not because of the design but because of the incredible season we're about to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkLillis Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Really is it all that bad? it’s just another kit It looks like Burnley because they wear Claret and Blue just like us. For me I just won’t buy them no matter what simply because of the price and the fact that( like all kits) they have a use by date. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 It's ok, it will do the job. Pros- actually launched in early summer for once. Cons- dreadful sponsor, looks like a fast-food chain, and very confusing branding for at least a year. An underwhelming start to say the least for our new business director.

It lasts for less than 12 months and no one will ever think about it again. Lol yeah no one has ever talked about a past kit. Don’t think any old kit has been mentioned once on the board. But I get what you’re saying now. All the people who would love to spend their hard earned money on the current kit to support their team are all a bunch of idiots. That’s the spirit! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GREAT_BEARD_OF_ZEUS Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Sweet baby Jesus, WTF is that abomination of a shirt! It's like the unwanted love child of Sports Direct and Burnley FC. Tired and unimaginative design, awful sponsor (both who they are and the logo) and Lions going in opposite directions front and back. The debacle of the badge just tops it all off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only one I never came round to was the one with the weird twisty shoulders. It looks OK—better on Ollie and Kamara, where it's a little looser, than on McGinn though. I think the worst thing is the sponsor. It just doesn't fit the delicate lines of the rest of it—it's just a splodgy ugly bubbly bit of stupid pap.
