The shirt in the tweet is the standard shirt, and the shirt in the render (with Douglas Luiz on the back) is the Pro version. You can tell because the piping on the shoulders are in different positions. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From that the Pro shirt seems to have the piping in a different position, It may be that the render on the store is wrong though, I've not had a Pro shirt in hand to confirm either way.

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 The more photos i see with fans in these and players the more they grow on me to be fair. I'm fickle AF though. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fickle AF though. I still think it’s a bit shit but having realised and heard (from Rob on the podcast) that the website image is a 3d render (that pic, shade of colour and especially the pattern disgusted me) and not a proper image of the actual shirt… it’s not quite as bad and looks ok in the club media, worn by the players and fans. It looks completely different tbf and that’s a bit of a relief. I still think it’s a poor design, it’s mainly the bus seat design or pattern that I hate, but the shade looks better than before. Will just have to get used to it but I think it’s one of our poorer efforts, last season’s was fine. The large chevrons were much better than this crap, supposed to be “sound waves” but look more like broken razor blades. Maybe we were spoiled by the Luke shirt, it was almost perfect, designs and quality have largely and severely declined since then. We need a better manufacturer and I hope Heck sorts this out for us in the not too distant future. I’m intrigued to see what he’s going to do and he deserves a chance… regardless of the badge fiasco. Interested to see what he comes up with there too despite the fan furore… 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marka Ragnos Posted June 23, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted June 23, 2023 (edited) I actually can't stand the new kit. No one seemed to be thinking about the overall artistic impact -- well, in fairness, they probably did, but they simply have awful taste. Hate all the overthought patterns and general frippery and the unctuous efforts to put meaning before style. I don't give a shit about sound waves. I can't hear a kit. And what's that bit of claret piping on the sleeves? Is that necessary? What about the blue band above the butt in the back. Why? What's that all about? What's not on this kit? Is there a kitchen sink included? But it's Villa ! I will make myself love it. We will all grow to love it, right? Here, gimme some more ... eat, eat, child, you must eat and grow strong ...

thabucks Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 (edited) I like it … but think the shoulders should’ve been white or gold not blue and straight across the back not diagonal … Edited June 23, 2023 by thabucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5-1 Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Went to the store today and picked up the shirt. I wasn't planning to but had pride rewards to pick up so had a look while i was there and it was much nicer in the flesh. I've got McGinn on the back and it fits fine. Numbers seem bigger this year though 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sawiris is adidas’s largest individual shareholder with about 6% of their shares, so I think it’s far more likely we move to them as out kit manufacturer.

macandally Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 (edited) The Castore kit was crap last year and worse this year. Saved myself well over a hundred quid by not buying either of their offerings. like the badge this year, but the shirt looks like Burnley Edited June 23, 2023 by macandally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlobalVillan Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 Probably the worst home kit I can ever remember s having with an even worse sponsor. It just had to happen the year we finally got into Europe didn't it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the company that makes those also makes our shirts - or at least the company that sells those also makes our shirts. I have a feeling that both the NFL and the NBA are Fanatics contracts with Nike branding. I might be completely wrong on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGinn will be wearing the right shirt. For those of you that want an hour's worth of my opinions on shirt, badge and sponsor, it's your lucky day! Great to watch. Thanks for sharing Rob. Love your insights into football kit manufacture and design. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted June 24, 2023 Moderator Share Posted June 24, 2023 It's growing on me - I'm starting to like the shoulders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 I can't wait until we scrap Gerrard's Castore and the gambling sponsor. 3 more years, I guess. Then hopefully we get Adidas, and not cookie cutter Adidas. And a respectable sponsor with a cool logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thabucks Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 (edited) Could someone with skills mock up v version with white sleeves & shoulders instead and blue piping and neckline ?
