The lion doesn't stand out on the badge because it's pale yellow (for some reason) on baby blue. It's just a smudge. The lion either needs to be claret on a blue background or gold on a claret background with a gold or blue trim so it stands out on the home shirt. This should be obvious to absolutely everybody - apart from Lerner and Heck apparently - and is absolutely fundamental to any Aston Villa crest design. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roitorb Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 2 hours ago, fruitvilla said: I have no problem with a lion especially a rampant contourné one. Why an element of the City of Birmingham crest? Aston Villa is in Birmingham and a proud part of its history. cf moving a new stadium Solihull? Without the City of Birmingham there probably would be no AVFC. Maybe an Aston City or Town. Those elements have been part of Villa's tradition for a long time. It would piss off Blues fans no-end. They can't be bothered to have elements of their supposed City on their crest. Not really ... your preferences are clear. Boo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A blue background is fine. But not with a yellow lion. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Scorpio Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 (edited) So still no new badge. Guess they don't want to ruin the good feeling at the moment lol Edited April 30 by Hank Scorpio 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ender4 Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 So there is a pic of a kit doing the rounds on Reddit - someone took this photo of our ‘new kit’ being sold in a market in Turkey. A fake shirt of course, but the Turkish seller said it’s a copy of our new kit. It’s Adidas, with the new badge and AU1500 scrawled in the middle. If you ignore the rubbish badge and ignore the AU1500, it looks pretty decent. Not sure if anyone can get it from Reddit and post it here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We know it can't be accurate because of the sponsor, but, it is Adidas's 2024 template and i'd suggest it's not far off what we'll end up with. I'd be surprised if the PL allow us to have that AV150 logo there at the size they've done it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, everything points in the direction that our new badge is this, but in a smaller format. Saves the money on a new shirt. This season's kit destroyed by the sponsor.

Captain_Townsend Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 (edited) The badge is the worst thing about that kit. Surprised they are getting away with this bullshit after everything we have been through since 2022- how that can be a legitimate representation of what emerged from consultation is beyond me.

Davkaus Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 (edited) Going to try not to get too upset about the rest of that bootleg shirt, but the badge, **** me, it's dreadful. I occasionally mellow on it a bit (doubtless what that coward Heck was hoping for when he went from "announcement in the next couple of weeks" to radio silence for 4 months), and then I see it again and realised they pissed millions and years up the wall to end up with a badge worse than the last one, it's criminal. It is clearly too big on that shirt which doesn't help, shrink it by about 100% and it'll look alright Edited April 30 by Davkaus 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taxahunter Posted April 30 VT Supporter Share Posted April 30 Dislike the colors on that shirt, they are way off and as everybody has said, the badge is a disgrace to the club 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody is moaning about the blue background. It's the light blue background coupled with the pale yellow lion that is the issue 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think teams are allowed to have an extra logo like that AV150 badge. Plus the sponsor will be Betano So i assume that kit is very fake. Which is a good thing because it looks awful Edited April 30 by Stevo985 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderPower_14 Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 This one definitely isn't legit, at the absolute best it's a cheap knock off. The logos won't be that scale, it'll be a lot more of a high quality finish etc. We also know the sponsor is different. However, the template is the 2024 Adidas Template, so the basic construction with how the sleeves are cut in and the spikes is likely to be pretty close. Everything else is probably just a guess from this knock off merchant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightoffyour Posted April 30 Author VT Supporter Share Posted April 30 Side point really now but I’m a big advocate of gold lion and lettering on a claret background because it just looks classy with a blue border and highlights if/where applicable. Now some don’t think this contains enough blue, which is an opinion they’re entitled to, but for me our colours are claret, firstly, and blue, ratio not specified but certainly not 50/50 based on average home shirt. Anyway, what I don’t think I’ve seen anyone mention is that the current/Lerner badge and going from that the leaked Heck badge are basically blue and yellow - there’s hardly any claret on there! Now we can all agree that those are certainly not our colours, and that kind of moots the argument about having too much claret being a problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's so simple yet no-one at Villa seems to understand the basic concept of contrasting colours. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
