479Villan Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 I’d buy a Real Union kit. I like their crest with a yellow mark on a pale blue background. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaoDeMings Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 ffs Real Union are going to end up with a nicer Villa kit than Aston Villa aren’t they? In all seriousness I think that’s really nice and hope we get something similar. Contrary to the post above if we get something along the lines of the Acorns nike kits i’d be buzzing…one of my favourite kits ever! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginko Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 We should adopt Real Union’s black and white home shirt as our away strip, then make a parody of that Newcastle kit release video. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must be alone here. I thought it was great and it's made me really excited for our own launch vid! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny, their yellow mark has a black border around it so that it's actually visible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Steve Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 Fair play to the Geordies. Hope we get a similar release video. We just need the elite club treatment from them also. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlobalVillan Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 Why are we seemingly always the last club to release our kits? It's been this way for decades. Different owners, different brands and yet always the same story. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlobalVillan Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 Just now, CarryOnVilla said: That’s why. Every club changes brands and still release their kits earlier. Also, even when we have kept the same brand we STILL release our kits way later than others. It's not a massive issue, just a bit frustrating.

Different owners, different brands and yet always the same story. I'd guess this will be the last year when we're so late in the cycle. Historically we've always either been changing the maker, the supplier, the badge, or the sponsor. Bringing loads of it in house and sticking with Adidas, Betano and maybe even the badge for two years should see us have a normal release cycle for the first time in a while. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could argue that every club has the same issue here (perhaps aside from our delightful badge situation) but still manage to get kits out long before ours drops.

Yeah I know there will be a few others it just feels like we are always so much later than most clubs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's because we change so often but hopefully we sort out a replacement for Betano early as i believe betting sponsors are out after this year and we have Adidas for the next 5 years. So should be a lot smoother transitions going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different owners, different brands and yet always the same story. I think it may have been OBE (apologies if it wasn’t!) reporting back from a meeting once who suggested that most of the time the release is not “late”. It takes place when the club wants it to. For whatever reason they do not agree with the clamour for an early release each year. Edit: We wore the following year’s kit at the end of the 2000/01 and 2002/03 seasons and the issue became “now the kit doesn’t even last a year”!

Captain_Townsend Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 I remember 2001 and 2003 If I could I would go back to the days of 93-95 and 95-97 when a kit lasted two seasons. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
