useless Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 (edited) Spy the shorts and socks in the reflection in this image. Also nice detailing on the sides. Edit I've just noticed you can see the shorts anyway. Edited July 8, 2019 by useless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingram85 Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Simple and clean but completely meh. Probably wont get it but it's still a nice home kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddywhack Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 I like it. It loses points for far too many kappa logos and the weird cut on the arms. I don’t like how tight the sleeves are either but I’m sure it’d be fine on my flimsy arms. 7/10 WB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 only issue I have is the sponsor on the sleeve, rest is OK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderPower_14 Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Despite all the talk that this was a Fanatics kit with Kappa logos on it, this is definitely on a 2019 Kappa template. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmyg Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 I’m hoping they make up for it with some jazzy ness on the away shirts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LakotaDakota Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 (edited) Hmm.. After watching a bit of the mings video it really does look quite odd/really badly finished. Between the collar & sleeves there are 3 different bits of material, the sleeves look poorly joined and again look to be 2 or 3 different pieces of material with some strange piping down the length and what's going on with the weird cutouts at the bottom of the sleeve. Hard to tell exactly until you see it in the flesh i guess but it's a no from me. Looks shit and overly fussy.

villa89 Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Looks like another rubberised badge, but the pictures of mings don't have the white outline of the badge like there is above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

punkymonkey666 Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Seems like Villa can't win... Last year: "Doesn't look like a Villa kit, it doesn't have blue sleeves" This year: "Hmm, claret with blue sleeves - bit boring" 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 A home kit needs to be special like last season's for me to get it. I already have too many claret body/blue sleeve Villa shirts. If this had a collar or something maybe, but 's a little bland as it is. We'll look nice on the pitch though which is more than I can say for our last 3 seasons in the PL. Back in style. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted July 8, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted July 8, 2019 It seems to fit Mings really badly. Hopefully it's just a case of a duff early shirt but if they're all like that at the sleeves it's going to look really, really badly made and cheap.

useless Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 (edited) I think it's one of those that people will like a lot better when they see it in person, looks like there's a lot of finer details that you can't really appreciate in the pictures seen so far. Also the claret seems to have a luxurious tint/shine to it, that without going over the top, gives it an almost decadent finish.

What I saw was most definitely a collar, which seems to have been abandoned along the way. My best guess would be that once Kappa got involved that wanted their signature fit and that'd look weird with a collar so it got ditched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm not mistaken, Napoli had a collar on their kit last season. I think it's just the particular collar in the original design that would have looked weird, not any collar per se. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippo Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 As I feared really ....last seasons kit was really something special. This just looks like a mass produced template ...blobbed with claret and blue. Its not horrendous - but its quite a step down from last seasons. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On seeing the interview with Mings, I don't care much for it. Too fussy. It reminds me of that horrific Macron shirt we had, though nothing will ever quite match that for wretchedness. I still have high hopes for the other two. Edited July 8, 2019 by dont_do_it_doug. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
