Mantis Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 If it's somebody new then most of us will probably never heard of them. Maybe some up and coming company who are paying us a shedload of money? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightoffyour Posted January 8 VT Supporter Share Posted January 8 New partnership with Villa (never had the manufacturer before) or a new brand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punkymonkey666 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Gymshark perhaps? Owner is a huge Villa fan, and UK's youngest billionaire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They genuinely seemed impressed by the design of the new kits… Exciting news…. New Balance makes quality gear across the board, but in terms of football shirt prestige, not yet. So probably 1 of the other 3, my guess is Adidas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Townsend Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Umbro, Reebok and Nike for me made our best kits. Let us hope we get an iconic design for our 150th year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t think of anyone comparable or at that sort of level off the top of my head.. Newcastle secured a massive deal with Adidas… and since this is coming after that… and with Dan and Jacob commenting on it at this present time… I would assume it is kind of comparable? Could it be better??! All just speculation really, we have no actual facts or information other than knowing that we are done with Castore and moving on to someone bigger and better… Edited January 8 by Jas10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can Umbro (not a fan, they make ugly stuff imo, like West Ham shirts) and Reebok offer financial lucrative (enough) deals to the club though? That’s the bigger factor here really… I don’t see anyone on the level of Nike (Heck secured them for his NBA team), Adidas and maybe Puma in that sense… but I might be totally forgetting some… I have no clue really I just listened to a podcast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Townsend Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 I was just referring to our past, I know Umbro and Reebok have fallen from the 90s era and not really in the mix any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a big deal and something impressive they said the fans would be delighted too you could feel the excitement in Dan’s voice so I can’t see it being an obscure or new manufacturer/brand at all… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avfc1982am Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 I love Adidas but not sure how the stripes would look on a Villa kit, it might look horrendous. I'd like Puma or New Balance. Puma design some of the best kits around imo, different designs and detailed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just someone new or different compared to Castore, imo at least… not a new, unrecognised or obscure brand (how would “fans be delighted” then?) Could be someone we’ve had in the past but much more lucrative this time around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
