striker Posted July 28, 2023 Visiting Supporter Share Posted July 28, 2023 Don’t like the away strip. Home goalkeeper or home shirt is gonna find its way on my back when on holiday. Maybe Luiz’s name as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find Adidas to be the best for this. For me, this automatically eliminates Puma and Kappa. I found the Nike kits we used to have weirdly itchy (I think it was the recycled plastic bottles they were made from), so they're out too. Hummel have class designs and some of my favourite ever Villa kits. I'd opt for them or Adidas who, for ownership reasons, we're not allowed to have?

But not quite as nonsensical as the bus seat shite on the home shirt… Just leave it alone and have a nice, clean, crisp design. What’s wrong with plain? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My main issue with Adidas is the stripes, too dominant and even boring at times, but I have seen some really attractive designs from them. I really like the Roma kits, beautiful and classy. Plenty of great designs in the past too. Puma come up with some good ones, I’ve liked the vast majority of their Italy stuff… I don’t really care about the name of the brand, it’s “quality” that I want and am asking for. And “quality” is something Heck has emphasised in the past, I hope he brings it here… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted July 28, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted July 28, 2023 The pattern is just odd. It doesn't look bad, unlike the home kit where it looks like an early 90s bus seat, but you can't 'read' what it is, so it's just a random pattern that looks ok. Then you read what its supposed to be, a homage to our badge's lion over the years, and you think that's a nice idea... But you can't tell. And you can't tell because they just took pictures of the lions, randomly snipped them up, dropped them on a white shirt and grey scaled it, which completely negates the idea it's a homage or any reference really to anything. It's just random snippets of our badges lions over the years chucked on to make a pattern. Theres not a story or purpose to it, and it's so random you can't even tell what it is without being told and looking pretty hard. It may as well be any pattern. Luckily it doesn't look bad, but you could have done this so much better. That shirt from a few seasons back with the wards of Birmingham pattern, that was a better idea than this (even if at a glance it appeared to be a used cum rag pattern).

Captain_Townsend Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 Random but I have always felt Adidas would not be a good fit for Villa as they tend to crowbar in white stripes or piping into every kit they do and to me white with claret and blue just screams west ham. Have Reebok exited the whole football kit scene? Them, umbro and Nike have delivered the best ever Aston Villa kits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMelvillan Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 firstly, solid choice to have Moreno up front and centre for the photo shoot - they know what they are doing objectifying our boy like that! secondly - i like it - think it will look good on the pitch where you dont really notice the wee micro details anyway. White shirt, blue shorts. do rightly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awfff, I don’t know, an adidas original kit with a retro inspired design would be rather nice. Being retro would be on brand with Villa retro stadium retro colours retro kit so villa Edited July 28, 2023 by CarryOnVilla 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
