I was hoping to get the champions league badges put on the shirt I bought yesterday from JD, so this is a bit annoying. How will they know if it was bought through JD? Do they need to see a receipt to prove it’s not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 We will be more valuable to Adidas next season, meaning we'll probably get a more original looking home shirt. We'll also not have a tacky betting sponsor. For these reasons, I'm going to wait until next summer to buy a home shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going from Nike to Macron really drove home the point that we were sinking fast. Also just look at the players on display there. Chris Herd and Brett Holman on a kit ad is crazy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aston_Villan4 Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 (edited) So the pro kit has the ironed-on shoulder stripes but the regular kit has them stitched on? Shouldn’t it be the other way around? Edited July 24 by Aston_Villan4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've definitely seen it before at Villa, and at Wolves (I know I know, it was a work thing) where they've said they won't print on shirts not bought from them. But maybe it isn't standard practise 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those stitched on stripes feel weird sometimes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn’t it be the other way around? It's more expensive but the pro one isn't just a "better" shirt (and I reckon most people are better off with the cheap one), it's tailored to what the athletes need over 90 minutes. More stitching is more opportunity to chafe the players (and also fractions of grams more weight, though that might be too insignificant to matter) Edited July 24 by Davkaus 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why we did it for 2 years now. Nothing to stop us using them as long as the deal was done before the ban. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Although I have a feeling the adidas one is only for an initial two seasons too) After yesterday I don't think we need to worry about adidas not being keen to renew. There aren't that many kit reveals that attract that much attention outside the sphere of the associated club. It will be interesting to see how much traction it made outside the UK (you need to know a fair bit about Villa to really appreciate just how brilliant the video and the concept behind it are) but I think it's a damn good video even if you don't get all the Villa references / in jokes. On top of that - although it was frustrating for those who queued and didn't get their kits - those queues, the volume of shirts sold and effectively selling out of the first run on most platforms are all metrics that will have been noticed by adidas execs. I think we've made some pretty good waves in the last 36 hours or so. Great exposure for us and great for adidas too. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
