coda Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Weymouth? How far we have fallen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macandally Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Looks like Paul Faulkner is trying to reduce shirt sales in line with his current policy of lowering our league position, cutting the wage bill, reducing attendances whilst splitting the fan base by appointing the most controversial and arguably, shittest manager he could think of. What on earth is happening? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 We never have a third kit do we. Because we're never in Europe. When we were we used to carry over the previous seasons away kit as a third kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quizme Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Not a great fan of the idea of Macron. However. The current Weymouth kit beats anything Nike did. This please. Nice! I like it! Bring on Macron! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted January 26, 2012 Moderator Share Posted January 26, 2012 Ah but don't forget about old Randy sticking his nose into the kit design, he couldn't leave Nike alone to design the kits so I can't imagine it being any different with Macron. I fully expect more of the checkered look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I love the checks though. Why do they get so much hate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stanthemanisgod Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Well the checks seem to be part of the Villa brand, on tickets etc, so it would make sense that aspect of the design was driven by Villa not Nike. But that's only guess work, it could be the other way around, but unlikely imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted January 26, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted January 26, 2012 Yeah the checks were emerging before they were ever on the kits, so I imagine that's driven by the club, not Nike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted January 26, 2012 Moderator Share Posted January 26, 2012 The checks are/were nothing to do with Nike, they were driven by the club or more accurately by one particular individual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houlston Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 The checks are/were nothing to do with Nike, they were driven by the club or more accurately by one particular individual. Not being argumentative but am generally interested in how you know this as I've not heard it before, what are the reasons behind him wanting the checks?

Hang on I think I've got a letter from Sir Alex in my safe... I don't have evidence and I'm not really bothered about trying to convince you, you are free to believe what you want. There are plenty of people who know this to be the case though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame, was genuinely interested as to why and how, but instead you just came across as a bit of an arse. Deletion of post expected but as least youve read it.

GarethRDR Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Doesn't the story go that Randy wanted the checks as some pseudo tie-in to the mosaic with the intention of making our brand more 'unique'? I think they're **** hideous (the shirts that is, not the mosaic), myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogso Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Yeah the story of it being some sort of a follow on from the mosaics is what I've heard aswell. I find it tolerable on the shirt, and quite like it elsewhere. It wouldn't take much of a change for the shirt to be pretty horrific, but it'll be fine (whoever makes it) as long as they keep the chequered pattern understated. ...que us running out next year with claret and blue quarters/eighths.
