Can't do it via the Newcastle store either (I just looked at it). I will tell you the UECL badge and UEFA Foundation patch you can order off eBay here in the US are prime quality. Probably going to put them on an away kit when they go on sale. Of course I still want to order a kit with the name/number UECL font we're using, even as ugly as it is.

Everything about our online offering is amateur. Want to browse each of the kits in your category? **** you, here's dozens of the same shirt, with different names on the back in a completely arbitrary order. They've even got last season's kit mixed in. You might eventually see the away or third kit .I'd be ashamed (and sacked) if my company's online shop looked like this.

Is it like Castorr, Or like the Italian Castoray (moon, eyes, pizza pie etc). Many thanks in advance. Kind Regards Disastore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marka Ragnos Posted October 7, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted October 7, 2023 I know we are all basically hate the kits, but does anyone know where the origins of the sound waves printed on the kit was? Did that come from somebody at Villa? Does anyone know who that was? I actually find it fascinating, but not necessarily on a kit, but just the idea of using voices visually like that, and I wonder if we know how to idea originated for our particular kit?

I quite like the kit, not the sweaty part but the design has really grown on me, like it does every year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always think that if we do well in a kit then the design will grow on people no matter the initial response. Obviously being made out of taped up bin bags isn't ideal though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Townsend Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 I really miss the days of a kit that would last two seasons meaning that on alternate years the new kit would be the away kit. Our last truly great kit was the 1995-97 one. Would really like our club to be bold and say they will reinstate the 'kit every two years' thing. Would be a huge PR win.

Rich192 Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Pretty sure Brentford have confirmed their current kit is lasting two seasons. Do we know if we’ve managed to get a solution for this sweat kit for our games today? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avfc96 Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 Turns out we're not the only sports team having issues with them. They can't even get the font and size correct of the word 'England' across the cricket teams World Cup shirts. Absolute amateur outfit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being associated with this brand is going to damage the reputation of teams/clubs - I imagine that’s why Heck wants out of the deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
