HeroesAndVillans Posted July 24 VT Supporter Share Posted July 24 With the way sales are apparently going I was lucky to get mine when I did! Can't wait for it to arrive, straight down the local with my chest out. Even happier considering I managed to get the UCL patch put on with my order. I've seen some resellers asking for the world and more already, hate what they're doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jas10 Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Just imagining how many more shirts we sell if we sign Felix or a similar kind/profile of player… especially if it coincides with an away or third kit announcement. Worldwide exposure… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite being brand new and with adidas who we have never worked with before. Yet, the shirt feels familiar. It is already a classic.

F*** me it's a thing of beauty. It's seriously the best kit released this summer be a club and I ain't even being biased saying that. I'm waiting for them to appear in the Banbury club at £30 a pop......... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adidas have knocked this out the park As I've said previously ( And you know ) I've moaned about our " limitations" ( In my head ) due to our scheme and templates. But they have executed this perfectly from so.many angles. Some people feared Adidas may not.take.us seriously but it looks like they have given us respect here. I usually get away or 3rd kits but this home is outstanding and a must buy if possible! Edited July 25 by JAMAICAN-VILLAN 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but… just imagine what those are going to look like Especially if we do the reveal with a flashy signing or two in them! - I’ve also read and heard (on podcasts) that we are in the elite category and get better treatment than many/most of the clubs they provide kits for… less templates and more original designs and features. Excited to see what that 3rd, special edition/anniversary shirt, will look like. Maybe something really classy or elegant, with a standalone lion (rather than that stupid eyesore of a badge ). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In more ways than one: It's funny, but I actually think our shirts during those dark years in the early 2010s were really good. I honestly think our run from 2010/11 to 2014/15 were all excellent, and the 2011/12 kit in particular is probably my favourite of all time. That said, this year's looks like a certified classic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way man, the first Macron effort was a monstrosity. Like wtf is that collar and the fake V-neck. Also the cut is just horrendous, sleeves touching the elbows etc. It's a purple and gold tent.They definitely got better each time though. I agree with you though 11/12 was an all timer, particularly the away kit which is one of my favourites. Such good quality too, I must have washed it about a million times, and it still feels the same (sponsor came clean off pretty early though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 red training top. I know a lot of you like the green ones, but im not overly keen on these colour schemes. Much prefer traditional colours for all our gear. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delboy54 Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 If we play in red and dive in the penalty area and surround the ref does that mean we get all the big decisions for us??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much prefer traditional colours for all our gear. They've got 2 traditional claret and blue tops in the shop Wouldn't surprise me if that was genuinely a conversation that happened Scattergun the training range in 4 or 5 colour schemes to try and find something for everyone but don't have claret and blue so that the main shirt sales are higher To be fair with this set number of units they have to shift you could argue having a claret training top is detrimental to us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killeen30 Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 20 hours ago, Jas10 said: Bit of confusion over this, needs clearing up by someone representing the club/store. Bit of debate in the comments. It doesn't really need clearing up by the club. Villa will be the only place you can get the cup nameset. JD Sports don't do CL patches for any club, as far as I am aware. So if you want a cup nameset and CL patches purchase from Villa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killeen30 Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 16 hours ago, Paddywhack said: I assume they're only putting them on shirts that are bought there and then. If you don't succeed try and try again. At some point you will get someone behind the till who doesn't care, and isn't a jobs worth. Failing that you can purchase CL patches from Subside Sports or Classic Football Shirts and have them printed somewhere yourself. Or iron them on (although I'd never do this personally). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pro shirts are all about being lighter and giving the players the best chance to perform at their best. Think the opposite of last seasons shirts haha! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is the lightness to the shirt but I was also thinking if the regular shirt had ironed on adidas stripes on the shoulders they would start to peel off eventually after a few rounds with the washing machine.

Standard shirt has stitched on stripes and should be build for more everyday wear. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
