Won't be playing in it until US Tour where it will be revealed. That's interesting, the clubs plan earlier in the summer was for a release today - so that means there's been a hiccup somewhere along the line. I was expecting a launch today with online ordering available in the next few days and a retail launch in two or three weeks time. Is that 'available to buy' date an online sale date or a walk-in sale date? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 We won't be playing in Castore on Wednesday surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulMcGrath_5 Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 We will wear a white kit on Wednesday. It’s adidas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterSw Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 There will be a reveal before Wednesday's game you would think? Surely can't have the players playing in last year's kit or a training wear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarryOnVilla Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 I suspect the promo will go out before Wednesday’s game’s and the players will be wearing the kit for the game. However I suspect general sale will be 1st August 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

est1874 Posted July 15 Author Share Posted July 15 It appears nobody knows anything at all about any of this. 1) amazing the club have done such a good job at keeping everything under wraps 2) even more amazing that a club struggling to generate enough revenue think it's acceptable to delay launching their first Adidas kit, which in the right conditions would sell by the truckload, until the second half of July / the summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejs1111 Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 (edited) I cannot imagine the kit will not be available for the US tour. The US market is the untapped region that Heck is trying to get into. Thats why Villa is coming back here for the 2nd year in a row. They wont be coming here with no new merch to sell. Last year they had kiosks all around the stadiums with new kits available to purchase- its where I bought mine in DC. I'm fairly certain this will be no different. That would be a huge missed opportunity for AVFC- especially with Adidas now as the provider- its a huge brand that is very well known in the US. Nobody in the US knows who Castore is.

"sorry boss we forgot to put the red dye in the machine so it's all white". No problem we'll sell these as a special one off kit.

wishywashy Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 Knowing the Duran-esque nature of the Aston Villa Commercial Department we're probably releasing it at 3am in the morning. Never let them know your next move. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be pedantic, those stalls were run by Premier League, not any individual club, and the Premier League half-assed the rollout of the away kit at same. There was no announcement they were available at any point, they weren't there pre-game, they randomly appeared at a couple stands at or around halftime.

Well does that mean the Premier League is hording our kits? Maybe Villa fans will get lucky again in the US and the Premier League will snatch some kits from the factory like last season!

Yes, that's exactly what it means, the damned league has it out for us not only DURING the season, but outside of it as well. Like an octopus of evil, its tentacles reach far and wide and interfere with everything from accounting, to VAR, to concessions, to gameday traffic. SONSABITCHES.
