allani Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 33 minutes ago, villan-scott said: Lovely teaser… Proper claret. Nod to our heritage with stain glass style design and mosaic. Looks like a return of the ‘Prepared’ motto. Will be very interesting to see this launch. I get the sense that we might not be in the majority but I agree with you. Some of the surrounding detail looks really nice and like you say contains a good nod to our heritage. I think it will also be very neat if the Adidas branding is yellow / gold on our home shirts and especially on the 150 anniversary kit. I am also intrigued that the "badge" within the diamonds is gold on a claret background. I do think that this points towards having design elements that are then used in different settings / situations - which is encouraging (although I suspect that others might not be as keen on that idea). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrchnry Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 Could be wrong but I can't believe that's got started and finished without someone taking a snap of it and leaking it. Gotta be digital. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted May 10 VT Supporter Share Posted May 10 (edited) I’ve already banged on about how bad that badge is, and how the round badge is the best in my lifetime… but aside from that that shirt looks so loooooovely, so excited to see the real thing: Edit: this might be a rare time I buy the shirt at full price on release rather than waiting til Jan.

FLVillan Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 On 09/05/2024 at 09:09, OutByEaster? said: Really good news in the interview to see that the return to an in-house model for our retailing is confirmed. A Villa shop operated by Aston Villa again instead of Fanatics - Villa products on sale in sports shops around the world rather than restricted to Fanatics partners and the Fanatics website. The chance re-establish the link between being a Villa fan and the store - perhaps getting some use out of those Pride Reward Points by being able to link them to products we sell, or even, dare we dream, the return of the season ticket holder discount. A whole world of possibility has reopened! Being an exiled fan, any move away from Fanatics would be a positive move. Up until the Fanatics contract started I had collected every single home shirt from 1980 onwards. I moved to states in 1993 and continued getting gear from the Villa mail-order. After a couple of horrible experiences with Fanatics about ten years ago I just stopped buying. The only time I've bought anything in the past ten years was on my occasional visits to Villa Park. They are a terrible company - even on their home turf in the US they are a nightmare when you try to get NFL etc gear from them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bosnichs Muller corner Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 Was at Villa Park tonight and spotted the outline of the new badge being painted on the side of the academy building along with the word 'prepared' in large writing.

Actually in my stupid enough attempt at making a joke. What would the brickwork of the Holte with a slight claret twinge and the yellow lion look like on that badge? *actually ignore me. Due to the sunshine I’ve been drinking and that sounds **** stupid. Edited May 10 by Roitorb Pissed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will leave the conversions to you, but we’ve already had numerous 90+ days and look to have several near 100 in the middle of next week. Once summer truly takes hold we are pretty much 90+ every single day from some time in June until October. We have a lot of 100+ days and temps of 115 are not unheard of. But it is dry, which makes an enormous difference. Lived in humidity (North Carolina & Texas) first 30 years of my life and dry is infinitely preferable Sorry for the hijack, here’s a photo from 2 months back that is on-topic Edited May 10 by Nor-Cal Villan 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This looks a bit more bulky and robust, and is a slight improvement. The graphics look like a mix of Victorian stained glass, and William Morris / 'Arts & Crafts Movement' style floral patterns. William Morris is one of the most famous textile and pattern designers of the Victoria era. He was part of 'the Birmingham set' in the mid 1800s, and ran his own design company in the 1870s, around the time of Villa's formation. Looks like someone at Adidas has put a bit of work in to create some interesting and bespoke visuals. I hope this carries over to the kits! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
