I think they tried it a while back in the Benteke era with the pinstripes, but I've never been a fan of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really no, although i did try to imply this by using the word effect after. I don't know much about tartan, but I assume if we were doing something to honour our founders then there's be a specific style of tartan they'd be associated with. If there was the possibility to use that we probably should, but maybe they're trying to go more down the modernised nod to the past route. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted July 10 Moderator Share Posted July 10 Big week ahead, I think we get the kit release on Monday and then we get to see the players wear it in a weeks time. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just a lot baggier than I would normally wear hoodies . I reckon a medium would be just right but don't think they had any left. Might keep this to wear during the house for winter when piled a few pounds on. Hope this photo helps https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/z6owhvb7or881jhcgq0w6/Photo-09-07-2024-11-47-23.jpg?rlkey=1cwujuqq597vrgjfuxtjv56c4&dl=0 Thanks so much!

Popular Post Hobsons Choice Posted July 10 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted July 10 Too bad we've not released our new kit yet, we'd have sold about 50,000 with Watkins on the back in the last 2 hours. 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love this striped kit, and the most famous kit we've worn in the last 20 years, the Luke promotion kit, was a deviation from the norm. I think it depends on the kit supplier building a bit of rapport with the club and supporters so they feel like they can do something unique without getting shouted down. Hopefully if we're with Adidas for a period of time, they give us an occasional variant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingers Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 Hopefully they don't....ever... Home - Claret Shirt, light blue arms, white shorts, light blue socks - fiddle with the trim only Away - predominantly white, with claret and blue trim, (shorts and sock variations in white, claret and blue to provide options when part of the kit clashes, or so we can go full claret etc with home shirt) I would have said never change the badge colours - but this one needs changing! Third - some crazy marketing thing to the youngsters - but NEVER Mid /Royal/Dark blue! - and we shouldn't wear it if we can wear our home or away kit (Its just about money anyway) I think most of us are fond of our 'first' kits or the ones from our youth when we remember becoming a fan, but for me - you stick with the established colours (and tweak it to justify a new one each year). We are not a stripes team (1957 was our away kit) - we are a claret shirt and blue arms team. 150 years, founders - TRADITION... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billson Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 Nah, change it up every 3-4 years to keep things interesting. The traditionalists can skip buying the kit the years we deviate from the claret body/blue sleeves. A lot of my favourite Villa kits are variations from the norm. 82 - Blue sides as well as blue sleeves 87-89 - Stripes / half half effect (Hummel) 93-95 - Stripes (Asics) 2011-12 - Chequered shirt / black socks. (Nike) 2014-15 - Pin stripes (Macron - Yes, really. The only kit they made that I like) 2018-19 - Claret sleeves & dark stripes (Luke) I like a bit of innovation! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skarroki Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 If they've already done the photoshoots and there's any photos at all of Watkins in the new shirt, anyone in the media team in their right mind is pushing for the kit to be revealed surely. The amount of people who are gonna be looking up Watkins this morning to look at the goal and memes and stuff and if our new badge, new kit is mixed in with that, easy extra exposure. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
