(They have a new sponsor as well like we do) Simply moronic. 5 hours ago, ferguson1 said: I reckon something close to this would be ok, with the Castore wording and wings in gold, and the BK8 sponsor in gold also. Calling @Teale's 'tache if you can create something similar, using the suggested gold bits? Too many criss-crossing patterns. Ridiculous. 19 minutes ago, est1874 said: Everything about this is hideous. Wrong colours is a terrible start. Stripes never. Collar looks awful. Colour issue could be digital rendering, too.I imagine it's lighter. Yes, never stripes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hats off to the design work itself but for me that’s a bit to rugby top for my liking. Loved the striped Merson/Carbons era shirt though, perhaps it’s just the thinner stripes that’s putting me off on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bumping these beauts as they’re gorgeous. Have the black third kit above as the GK shirt, perhaps with a yellow version for the away and swap the above 3rd design for the later vertical striped 3rd kit design (black/red) and we’d easily have the best kits in the league. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain_Townsend Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 For me, the classic villa kits were 1980/81, 1981/82, 1989/90, 1992/93, 1995/97. I'm not a fan of us playing in stripes (93, 99) or without blue sleeves (Luke). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 I liked us playing with blue sleeves on the Luke shirt because it was so long since we'd done it Stripes are the same, wouldn't mind in once in 20 years Completely agree with who said elsewhere we've done the white with claret pinstripes kit now and should leave it alone, if we're revisiting an old shirt then everything is there for Castore to go do the white black and blue one and be lauded for it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like them but don't see them as classics as they aren't claret body blue sleeves. We have done stripes a couple if times and I just don't see it as the way Villa kits should look. For example, have Arsenal ever appeared in stripes? I doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the Muller stripes were the kit when I first supported Villa, I'm more disposed to them. But I also loved the Brian Little era, so I'm good with either. Less keen on pinstripes though. I like a good stripe thickness, me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
