Fully agree on it being annoying that other clubs reveal their new kits at final game while we do it 3 weeks into the new season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, would be ideal to get a new kit before the family holiday for a change. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 (edited) If we ended up wearing a kit tonight... Or even announcing it... That in itself deserves meltdown We've consistently been one of, if not THE last to ever do these things!

Popular Post Chindie Posted May 13 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted May 13 If we don't wear it tonight it'll be the most Villa thing imaginable. Plaster the city and the stadium in Adidas logos, play the match in Castore. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 No new kit tonight, the club are promoting the game using images of the players in this season's Castore kit We get this every season people think we're going to wear a new kit on the last day but it never happens, just like we don't announce a new player as the kit is launched The season will be over this time next week, so all the adidas stuff is probably a build up to then I doubt adidas would agree to reveal the kit in such a game, as wouldn't want it associated with a potential loss, some might say likely loss If we win maybe an aeroplane with a banner saying 'Aston Villa qualify for Champions League Impossible is Nothing' will fly overhead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People might speculate, but we’ve never had this kind of build up with the new kit manufacturer’s logo plastered everywhere. there’s very clearly been a concerted effort to get all this adidas stuff ready for today.

This is completely not relevant at all. The players have been wearing Castore all season, the club can hardly photshop in an addidas logo 2. This is the first season where we have bought out our existing kit supplier to get a new one in. 3. It seem the deal has cut Castore out early, if they were going to wait until the end of the season why not just wait until the contract ends. 4. The idea that Adidas won't want us to launch the kit because we might lose is laughable. Teams lose games all the time. This is a very high profile game live on Sky.

useless Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 In other words I think they will want Adidas announcement to coincide with Champions League qualification rather than beforehand. So if we do it tonight, maybe the players will run into the tunnel at fulltime and then come back out in their new Adidas kits, which sounds dramatic, but somthing like that 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Teams lose games all the time, but clubs don't launch kits during games all the time, the idea that Adidas wouldn't want the launch associated with a loss isn't laughable at all, and especially when they could coincide the launch with us qualifying for Champions League Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That in itself deserves meltdown We've consistently been one of, if not THE last to ever to these things! We have, but I think that’s because we sign contracts on an annual basis, rather than a football season basis so it’s always a 12 month cycle of contracts meaning we can’t show the new kit early. I don’t expect the new kit tonight, but, I wouldn’t be surprised to see a it announced soon because I think us breaking from castore early means we can start this contract early too? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nerves I can see it being very quiet after about 5 mins as the doubts kick in, lots of groaning I think a Monday night game does us no favours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
