He's an Adidas athlete and will be wearing Adidas kit for club and country. There's a good chance they'll want to take advantage of that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just remember that the slave-crafted shite you get off DHGate doesn't count towards this figure... I'm willing to buy every single shirt design and a GK variant. Club just needs to have 5 UCL patch sets for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 @NurembergVillan one thing that would make the kit an all timer is having a certain accent colour that was on the famous world cup kit you worked on. I would Kevin Keegan love it if it did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since about 2011 I don't think I have spotted any. I haven’t even seen Villa kit on sale in sports shops in Birmingham over the past 8 years! It’s just full of Man Utd and Liverpool kit.

Getting it back is probably not something the club is looking to do but I feel it’s good for visibility and just the feel of the city to have local clubs’ shops Edited May 21 by DaoDeMings 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted May 21 Moderator Share Posted May 21 The Fanatics deal was restrictive in terms of where you could buy kits - they are very much a retailer that pushes online retail and having the kit available in lots of shops would undermine that. I'm hoping adidas (small a) are happy to hugely improve on that distribution and availability and that Villa kits will be visible in a lot more places. Are Fanatics still going to be doing our online retailing? Also, can we petition adidas to do a church roof style thermometer thing that measures how far we are along to selling 300,000 kits please? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure the impacts on distribution to other stores around the UK and the world though. I assume we will leverage off Adidas for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenko#4 Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 I’ve been through Birmingham Airport a few times recently, and in JD Sports there, they sell football shirts, but not ours (as far as I can see) For me, that’s an easy win, as with thousands of captive people daily, visiting Birmingham for work or pleasure, you’ll pick up a fair bit of tourist trade with people buying souvenirs for their family. A lot of other bigger airports actually have club shops in them, Barcelona, Munich, Glasgow and even Leeds are a few examples I can think of of the top of my head. It may be something worth considering by the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThunderPower_14 Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Great to be finally rid of Fanatics. I might finally see some Villa merch in a shop in Australia for the first time in almost a decade. Especially with Adidas. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Signing a player with great stats on the EA/FIFA game would probably help with shirt sales if we wan't reach the gamer crowd who don't care all that much about clubs but follow players instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarryOnVilla Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 (edited) Fanatics were absolute garbage. Particularly when you buying online. Order my stuff, get to the checkout page, ohh here’s a “handling fee” of £454 ohh and the postage is £4433 …a week later Delivered to my neighbours across the road by Evri/Yodel me bankrupt and sad by the experience, going over like please sir, may I have my Villa kits?

sharkyvilla Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 At Gatwick JD Sports you can get the retro Mita Villa kit but not the newest one which I've found bizarre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
