479Villan Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 Blue and white is boring, but the silver? I bet the pro kit is going to absolutely shimmer with the "printed on" stripes. So it's that and the GK coming to Arkansas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderPower_14 Posted Friday at 03:06 Share Posted Friday at 03:06 It's quite nice, but it doesn't particularly excite me, similar to the away. Zero interest in buying it. Maybe it was an issue with our late signup with Adidas, but the away and 3rd feel fairly generic compared to the away and 3rd kits Adidas have produced for other clubs. They're at least very nicely executed generic kits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted Friday at 04:08 Share Posted Friday at 04:08 The third goalkeeper kit is the same as the Aberdeen home goalkeeper kit! Lazy by Adidas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're at least very nicely executed generic kits and likely sell more of them because they’ll appeal to more people because if they make them too unique they’ll appeal to less people. Making one kit like casual wear is clever as that’ll sell well because of the appeal to more of the fan base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're at least very nicely executed generic kits It’s a question of timing. Newcastle announced Adidas on September 2023, we didn't announce ours until May 2024. The company had a very small window to make this seasons kits and I think they did great in the circumstance. Judge the kits by next years standards. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't get people who look at that and think SHA, it's not their colour Yeah, seen a few mentions of it and don't get it myself. You'd swear similar had never been done before either... 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DakotaVilla Posted Friday at 08:25 Share Posted Friday at 08:25 It’s meh as a third shirt but shockingly bad as an anniversary shirt. Further incompetence from Heck. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobsons Choice Posted Friday at 09:48 VT Supporter Share Posted Friday at 09:48 Sorry to be all vague on you here, but my comment on the third kit can be boiled down to: 'I quite like it'. That said I bought the away last time (the patterned white looked classy imo), and I'd definitely go home this time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choffer Posted Friday at 10:29 VT Supporter Share Posted Friday at 10:29 Didn't like it on first viewing. I'm warming to it a bit now but ultimately, it's just a shirt we will wear a couple of times and then forget about. I think anyone expecting a belter, given the timescales Adidas had to work with, were always going to be disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The blue is represents the depths of depression and loneliness I felt when she left me, she was an incredible sock cooker. The ‘Villa’ is a subtle nod to how massive my gaf is, where I now live, in loneliness.” — Chris Heck, September 2024 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
