Stephen_Evans Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 In the blurb on the website it talks of reaction to the “crest and kit moniker”. I’m usually good with words but what on Earth do they mean by “kit moniker”? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I brought an original Le Coq Sportif mint 82 home shirt a couple of years ago for £175 as mine had gone missing as a kid. A couple of weeks ago at a private function I got half the starting 11 from the 82 final to sign and take photos etc as keepsakes and once I get the rest of the signatures I will get it framed. In general though there isn't enough value in shirts resale unless they're match worn and signed. The true value is the memory for whoever buys them but as a monetary item they don't value too much imo because there are so many replicas available these days. The only thing most replicas don't replicate these days are the original materials but clubs have jumped on the bandwagon in regards to merch which the way I see it devalues originals as the shirt isn't as sought after.

In typical Villa fashion, we never seem to " hit " all the elements at the same time. So now we've got a nice badge on them with chaos all around it . Badge would look nice on a minimalist design, hopefully something like that comes out in the training or casual range. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted June 22, 2023 Moderator Share Posted June 22, 2023 Personally I don't like the shoulders, I think the shading is a bit odd too. I think the shorts look great. I think the badge look fantastic on a white background, but not so much on the claret of the shirt itself, which is a shame. I'm not known for my sartorial taste. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The badge having a claret outline was a huge oversight I noticed at the time but is now glaringly obvious when on the kit. Gold needs to be more prominent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted June 22, 2023 Moderator Share Posted June 22, 2023 Oddly, I think the shirt looks better in the pictures I've seen of it being worn by middle aged men of average athleticism than it does in the pictures I've seen of it being worn by the players.

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! Acorns kit. Luke kit. Definitely mentioned and iconic for different reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyjavfc Posted June 22, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted June 22, 2023 Kit would look 10x better without the blue shoulder pads. I quite like the claret detail but those shoulders are unforgivable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think partly it's just not a good fabric look. And partly our home kit has usually had very simple 'classy' designs, and adding fussy things like bold modernistic fabric designs doesn't suit it - it might be more fitting for an away or third kit. I'm not sure the badge works either. It feels... Old in a bad way. The shoulder 'pads' look weirdly cheap and almost utilitarian, stink of an afterthought, someone clicking fill with a different colour on Photoshop. Bad kit.

Genie Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Not a great kit, the sponsor immediately looks crap. Then as the eyes scan elsewhere it doesn’t get an awful lot better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted June 22, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted June 22, 2023 It’s fine. The sponsor ruins it obviously but the kit itself is fine. In an ideal world I wouldn’t have those shoulder bits but it’s ok 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hide the top part of the kit and it then doesn't look any worse than the others. For me though, they all just look arbitrarily fussy and would be better plain. Even knowing our arbitrary pattern is a sound wave, it's overlaid in such a way to look bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
