I still think the round badge was far superior to the Lerner shield. When you see them side by side it really is striking. If they wanted to salvage a win from this whole thing I think a new shield using the colour from the round badge would have been a compromise people could have got behind.

The round badge isn’t perfect, but it’s absolutely miles better than the Lerner shield and any of the leaked new designs we’ve seen 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DakotaVilla Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 And the Betano deal. Yes, he has a very favorable wind with Unai doing the hard work on the pitch but the deals still have to get done. We have to be fair and complement the positive on the commercial side and can then also acknowledge the complete and utter shitting of the bed with the crest, stadium plan and wider fan and employee relations. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is there far more bad than good. And, with the caveat of us being a top 4 club, the good just feels like him being gifted open goals rather than actually delivering something. I want him to be good, as it means we don't have to fire and pay him off, but I've yet to see anything from him, that is independently attributable to him, that I like. You forgot AU50 as well. The crest situation is probably his most egregious failure though, given the track record he came with from the 76ers Edited April 10 by MrBlack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DakotaVilla Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 (edited) The adidas deal was anything but an open goal. Yes, Nas had connections but to do that at pace in a couple of months and hopefully get next years kit delivered on time is the definition of complex. Look at the lead time Newcastle gave themselves when announcing their switch to adidas and they didn’t have the castore car crash we had to deal with. I’ve been deeply critical of Heck re the other areas that you have highlighted but we have to be fair and not diminish outcomes that deserve praise. Also on the crest, one can only hope that the feedback from the leak has been taken onboard and that the lengthy delay is down to further refinement to ensure that it will meet expectations. Yes, I know that I’m being overly optimistic! Edited April 11 by DakotaVilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 All this talk of improving our badge and branding and we send Martinez out wearing a shirt that has the lion upside down... How does that happen, and how does it make it not just onto any replica shirt, but one we're sending a player out to wear in the Premier League. **** hell, Castore. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted April 21 VT Supporter Share Posted April 21 Obviously Castore take a lot of the blame for producing it in the first place. But did the club simply not have another shirt available? When did they first realise the mistake? It’s all a bit shoddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if Castore send you an on-field kit with a badge issue, there's a solution for that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floody555 Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Now with Betano deal being released (link below), I'm hoping the Adidas deal confirmation will follow shortly, then the new badge https://www.avfc.co.uk/news/2024/april/22/aston-villa-and-betano-announce-principal-partnership-/ Quote Aston Villa and Kaizen Gaming, the leading global GameTech operator, are delighted to announce a new long-term partnership that will see Betano, Kaizen Gaming’s premium brand, become the Club’s new principal and front-of-shirt partner. Hot on the heels of Betano’s UK market debut in partnership with BVGroup, the two-year agreement will see the Betano logo feature on the front of Aston Villa’s men's team’s jerseys starting from the 2024-25 season. This new partnership comes just a few weeks after Betano’s sponsorship announcements of the UEFA EURO 2024 and CONMEBOL Copa America 2024. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
