mikeyp102 Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 I wonder if we’ll see the white strip again against West Ham? Or do you have to register colours pre season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would they do that? The away kit will have been made and ready for the team..just because it hasn't been reveled doesn't mean it hasn't been made. The game may be the reveal.

It just seems odd we are 12 days out and it’s not been revealed. Yes you are right reveal day could be match day, just never known that before.

Store manager will just be a jumped-up version of the prick behind the counter, he's not getting substantially more insight off them/him/her. I’ll simplify it, the person behind the counter was a prick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s been said that the away kit will be shown and available to purchase from 15th August. Not 100% sure it that’s true. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
479Villan Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 Pro kit finally arrived today. Gorgeous, quality against my previous pro kits from MLS is obviously improved. One kit closer to 300k for the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5-1 Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 Has anyone else got a box mark around the sponsor? I went to the shop to change it but they said it would wash out. Done 2 washes now and no improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness he backtracked a bit when he realised what he said but still, what a rocket polisher. It was for sale in JD O’Connell St in Dublin at 9am on release day, if you’re willing to drive the hour or so south of the border. Elvery’s stock Villa the odd time, but I haven’t checked in a few years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like it’s where they’ve pressed the sponsor on. One was JD and they replaced it for them I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah they've signed my receipt to say i can change it if it doesn't come out but refused to do it there and then and they were adamant it would come out in the wash. Mines a womens shirt and every one they had in the shop was the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Steve Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 I just noticed that Bournemouth offer their fans a chance to buy the men’s and women’s home shirt with the university logo sponsor or without sponsor instead of their main sponsor which is linked to modern slavery. I would love us one day to offer fans the chance to buy a home shirt with Acorns on or no sponsor on instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are paying £20m to be shown on every adult shirt. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, I had no idea it was that high. I hope once we move past betting sponsors we can implement such a scheme for fans at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if they weren’t betting companies, other companies will be paying a lot and won’t want their branch not to be seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A company like BJ88 doesn't have any UK customers. They're not getting any value from people in the UK walking around with BJ88 on their shirt. They get value from BJ88 being shown on the videos of the matches that get played in the countries they allow illegal gambling in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
