Nah there's been some mocks of the home kit but the side bits are yellow, so is the sponsor and Adidas logo The FIFA leak was like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lichfield Dean Posted May 20 VT Supporter Share Posted May 20 If we end up with a claret and yellow kit instead of claret and blue I will not be happy! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 Yes please to some yellow. We've had 4 boring claret body blue sleeve kits in a row. We need to spice things up for our 150th anniversary 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

479Villan Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 The off-color panels look like tusks, which brings up certain unpleasant memories of American football/basketball jerseys made for my local university. I would be just fine with them being "body" color of claret to minimize them. Blue would be next choice. "Yellow" is a distant third. Gold could be fun though.

The club never committed to today, that was more ITK crap. 1/6 makes sense for what I posted yesterday: a date certain for the termination of the Castore contract, that date being 31/5. But yes, Adidas and the club want your email address for engagement and marketing purposes, an outcome almost as surprising as falling out of a boat and hitting water.

Popular Post NurembergVillan Posted May 20 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted May 20 3 hours ago, villa4europe said: And on the fabric, is it only used for elite clubs or is it only available for sale to fans of elite clubs? As in the elite clubs can buy the player pro shirts but fans of non-elite clubs can't? The players still get the higher quality though @NurembergVillan There are a couple of tiers even within Elite at adidas (speaking only about clubs). You have the absolute God-tier - Bayern, Madrid, Juve, Arsenal, Man Utd - and then the broader group which will include Villa, Newcastle, Lyon, Miami, Boca, Celtic, Roma etc All of the above teams will have Authentic/Pro shirts that are also available to the public. There will also be standard replica shirts. I'm unsure whether "stadium" shirts will be made available for club teams and if so which ones. These are 80% lookalike of the proper shirts but noticeably different and markedly cheaper. The clubs below this level (like Leeds) will get "replica" shirts for the team and the fans. Drop down a level again and it'll be teamwear badged, sponsored and given for free to the clubs. Down another level and it's as above but offered at a discounted price rather than free, and sometimes could be managed by a licensee rather than the brand. I don't know if adidas operates the licensee model like some other brands, though. 7 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also worth remembering that when all this was being sorted out we were on course to be playing our final game on May 29th, the UECL Final. That would’ve been in Castore kit. No way would there have been blurring of the lines between the two brands with that on the horizon - even if the conversations were taking place months ago. I'm not speaking as an ITK here, so if it's not June 1st, hey. I'd be really surprised if it was before then, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to think so, but unless we can sell getting on for 1m shirts a season with his name on then I think we're gonna have to wait. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
