Tayls Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 (edited) The gold D is a key part of their logo it will come with the white text...the real question is will it have a boarder? I'm thinking/hoping not and it will just be the standalone logo which will look decent on the claret shirt. Blimey - Serious Question - Who gives a shit? So you're clearly not too fussed on how the kit looks then? Whilst I enjoy purchasing villa shirts, (have done every season since my parents stopped buying me them ...) I do wonder how it will look on me before buying. If I think the logo looks shite on the shirt then I probably wouldn't bother... It plays an important part on whether the shirt looks good or not. IMO of course. Edited June 11, 2013 by Tayls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danwichmann Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 I really don't get the hate towards betting companies. They offer a perfectly legal service that people want. You may have missed the point Which is? Having worked in a bookies for a while, all I can say is while they may be legal, they do pray on some of the most vunerable and needy people in society. I've worked in shops where I'd say 9 out 10 customers had severe gambling problems and these guys were never helped. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 I really don't get the hate towards betting companies. They offer a perfectly legal service that people want. You may have missed the pointWhich is?Yes they offer a legal service, however it's a service which can lead to massive problems for many people , a problem that is on a massive increase. We will now be normalising the next generation of kids to believe that betting / in play and all this nonsense is part and parcel of the game and sport generally. I don't endorse that and it's a shame my club do. Yes I bet. I can control it (I think). Not everyone can control it. Its a problem that's only getting bigger . People should take responsibility for their own actions.... I've hardly ever put a bet on, if I wanted to I would, some company on my teams shirt would not have any affect on that. Just like fat people blaming fast food joints in being fat it's just an excuse. Anyway I'm going off topic now.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO of course. For me a football kit is a football kit. You don't wear it to go with a pair of jeans or shoes. You could wear it with anything - nobody is going to go 'that doesn't match that' or 'that looks hideous'. People recognise its a football shirt and your probably wearing it because you support the team rather than it suits you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b23avfc Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Firstly, I hope we got a good deal, I trust it's the best we could get so that's good news. Hopefully the money will work out well for us. They'll definitely be getting at least 10 seconds on MOTD every week. Secondly, and purely personally, no shirt with sponsor for me again this season. I can live with that. I can't be advertising a gambling company. I loved Acorns, and I'll stick with my "old" acorns gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
