They can't even get the font and size correct of the word 'England' across the cricket teams World Cup shirts. Absolute amateur outfit. Positioning between the badges and team name is different where they have managed to get the font and size the same too. How can they be so bad. Presumably outsourced to the cheapest bidder and have a very good sales team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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?

slovenian Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 Kit manufacturers Castore have "identified the cause of the problem" and Villa will be able to choose one of two solutions that are available. The first will be for Villa to have an "entire new batch" of shirts provided, while the second is expected to be "small adjustments" made to the current strip.

JPJCB Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 Why are they treating shirt design as if it’s rocket science? Just give us the same shirt but in a sensible material like every other club in the league 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyjavfc Posted October 14, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted October 14, 2023 If I were Castore, I would simply manufacture the shirt using similar materials to the literal thousands of football shirts released the world over every year that do not look like a sweaty, greasy mess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Davkaus Posted October 14, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 14, 2023 That line about the problem being the sponsor logo rather than the shirt material smells like absolute bullshit from Castore trying to shirk the blame. Even if it sounded remotely plausible, the issue was still there in our European games in which we notably had no sponsor. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
