The AVFC online store is run by Fanatics - if you go on and scroll to the bottom, it's all Copyrighted to Fanatics - it's their website with our badge. This season will see a return to the in-house retailing at the club store which I think will mean the club will make more money if you buy direct from there - but the shirt is likely to also be available in a lot more retail outlets through adidas's distribution network. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely Adidas won't pay 20m to us just so Fanatics can take half their profits? Heck's interview seemed to imply everything was coming in house?

thabucks Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 (edited) Went to the adidas store on Oxford street today and the sales assistant I spoke with said he’d seen the kits and were looked really good and he might buy one - he was a PSG fan and that they’ll be stocking it but couldn’t / wouldn’t confirm release date nor a description… Edited May 24 by thabucks 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderPower_14 Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 I'm sure they'll still be available through Fanatics, as most fan wear is, but you'd hope that Fanatics don't have the monopoly on our merchandise they've had for the last half a decade. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might just wait and pay a visit to the new villa store instead, no delivery charges and I love the smell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven’t been in years, but when I was a kid we made the annual pilgrimage to the Villa Village to pick up the new shirt, and I can still recall the smell. I wonder if it’s the same one. God that brings back some happy memories. I might have told this story before, but on one of those visits, Savo was just hanging out in the shop with two gorgeous women, one on each arm, the absolute stud. I bought a bandana and got his autograph. I should have asked him to sign the bandana, now that I think about it. Might have been worth something today. Ah, the folly of youth.

CarryOnVilla Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 When you look at old photos, it’s amazing how brown the 80s was and how beige the 90s was. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
