Popular Post danceoftheshamen Posted June 9, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted June 9, 2013 (edited) Mita Copiers is the sponsor I remember, definitely my favourite. I used to be an engineer for Mita & we had a box in the North stand which i used to go in a few times a year.. Never forget the one night at home against Arsenal when out of the blue the actual Japanese owners came over to the UK & i ended up sat in the box with them.. Just before Kick of we were allowed out onto the pitch & it went up on the scoreboards "Welcome to our guests from Mita".. the funny part was i had blonde "Gary Shaw" style hair at the time & being dressed in a suit & walking out onto the pitch a chant of "Gary shaw Gary Shaw ..Gaaaary gary shaw....when he gets the ball he's bound to score gary gary shaw" went up as he was out injured at the time & i'm sure i got mistaken for him The thing was though the Mita guys had come over & they said they were here to decide whether or not to renew their sponsorship deal or not.. They were very impressed with the fact that so many Arsenal fans had traveled up from London & they asked me if many Villa fans would be going to London with Mita displayed on their tops? ..Immediately i realised the relevance of their question so proceeded to tell them ..."oh yes definately".. "In fact the number of fans Villa take down there will be much more than Arsenal have here".. & then i reminded them that as there were a few London clubs this would happen a few times a season.... They were really delighted to here this, thanked me & shook my hand & a week later the sponsorship deal was renewed!! So i would like to think i had a very small part to play in helping the club renew the deal! Edited June 9, 2013 by danceoftheshamen 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozvillafan Posted June 10, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted June 10, 2013 Worst shirt sponsors? Genting Casinos, without a doubt. What a massive difference in the message sent compared to the likes of Acorns. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StefanAVFC Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 I had a dream about the kit unveiling last night (yeah I know boring). The away was all silver and the home was weird, but I can't picture it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimzk5 Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 According to myoldmansaid on Twitter the sponsor is signed and will be revealed Wednesday on the shirt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliffy Biro Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 (edited) Going by teasers only i think this is going to be the first top i buy since my acorns one, since they have been horrific imo, the two checked years were weird and last seasons was just ok. The white away looks like its going to be stunning this year! Edited June 10, 2013 by Cliffy Biro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeaniimacaroon Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Odd question, but does anyone know if it might be possible to get the new shirt anywhere in Hereford on Friday? I happen to be there this week and I just wonder if anyone knew of any shops that might stock the Villa macron shirts. Unlikely if it is only released on Wednesday but worth asking.

NulliSecundus Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Those thinking our new sponsor is going to be anything other than a morally dubious far eastern company are going to be disappointed I'm afraid! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
