Ollie is trim as hell but that fit isn’t great, imagine on the average Joe it would look terrible even the leanest amongst us. I got a feeling the replica won’t be much different. Why can’t they just make shirts that hang around the stomach like all the Adidas ones do? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve still got large tops from last 2 seasons with labels on them. In hindsight should have gone extra large. I completely agree…no adult down the Villa I know could get into a JXL and none of them are big or fat blokes. My little skinny 13 year old nephew wears a JXL and it just seems a comfortable size on him. Then I come on VT and men are talking about squeezing into them, fair play to them especially paying cheaper prices and I’m guessing this season not having to have that stupid BK8 on the front.

The_Steve Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 I’m a slim guy - I don’t know if the JXL will fit but I’m desperate to have a shirt without the stupid betting logo on. I would just need to try it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be the way to go if so. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, when they actually design a singular shirt for a specific club, they can make good shirts. They've been getting it right for Arsenal the last few years. I really like the boomerang type design on the first one. I love the collar with the lightning bolts on the second one. I hope we get a white collared shirt soon. And I like the neck on the third too. All very clean, IMO. I would love an Adidas Villa shirt with the old Trefoil logo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the first shirt with the boomerang pattern running through. I like the second cause it has a collar but the design is a bit basic. The last one seems like something from 1991. If we ever got Adidas on board it would be interesting what they did with us. That being said, would we be allowed a kit manufactured by Adidas given Nassef has a stake in Adidas?

As if it isn't bad enough, they've given it two colours, neither of which are in the rest of the kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
479Villan Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 (edited) All I know is that if you had a booth set up in Washington DC at the end of July to sell a kit, a white one looking like that where I know I won’t ignite from the glare of the angry sun in it would get my wallet out. so, get on it, “Premier League Summer Series” Edited June 24, 2023 by 479Villan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Townsend Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 In my opinion, the most consistent kit supplier we have had was Reebok. Every kit they delivered, home or away, was excellent. Much as ai ranted against stripes the other day, I prefer the Reebok stripes in 1999/2000 to the Asics stripes of 1993-95 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted June 25, 2023 Moderator Share Posted June 25, 2023 I'm not sure how often Adidas partner with Fanatics - I know Nike do with the NFL and NBA, and I guess Adidas do, but nothing jumps to mind. Looks like they replaced Adidas for the NHL - with Adidas removed, unlike their deal with the NFL where Fanatics make the shirts but Nike keep their logo on them. I think (but I'm not sure) that Fanatics make ours and Castore have their logo on them, perhaps that's a type of deal that Adidas don't want to get into?

My eyes can’t tell at that level. but yes they do sell fakes. Though to sell a kit next to a “recognized” one gives a bit of legitimacy. I can tell you they aren’t 100%, of course, they have sold kits for American sports teams that have a color pattern wholly unused ever. But this? I would be intrigued by its appearance. They don’t just find a fan mock-up online and engage Guangzhou Glorious People’s Revolution Textile and Intellectual Property Theft Factory #8 for nothing.

alreadyexists Posted June 25, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted June 25, 2023 I would say that’s likely to be the away, or maybe third kit, I don’t see where else they would’ve found that design? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then hopefully we get Adidas, and not cookie cutter Adidas. And a respectable sponsor with a cool logo. I have several adidas’s kits of different clubs around Europe plus some International teams and they all fit well. I’d love us to have Adidas kits. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
