Oaks Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 is it realistic to think these kits will be available before the 27th may? i want one for my jollies in spain It's what used to piss me off with Nike, we never got to wear our new shirts on holiday, which is one of the few times(other than going to games and playing football) I used to wear it.

BOF Posted April 30, 2012 Moderator Share Posted April 30, 2012 As a paddy I can confirm that green is a hard colour to get right on a shirt. We've had some dreadful shirts over the decades. Not so much pukey as just drearily drearily dull. Can't help but be intrigued with what's coming though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmarsha_926 Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Home kit should be out on June 16th and away on July 14th if anyone does not know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginko Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 If memory serves though, both kits are going to be announced at the same time, so it should hopefully be a bit before June 16th that we know what they will look like. Even earlier if we get a leak, so if we're lucky we might get a glimpse of them in a few weeks time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaajax Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 No, they'll both be available soon. Unlike Nike, Macron are treating us as their #1 priority in the UK. If the green is like that last mock up (good work again mate) I wouldn't mind at all. It reminds me of guitars from the 80s and thats a good thing... for me. Is that why Leeds have gotten their kits before us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmarsha_926 Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Our Nike contract does not end till the end of the season so nothing will probably get shown before then unless it gets leaked. Remember it ended in July but Nike lets us end it early to get the kits out early Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaGoMarching Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Having looked at the original press release for the announcement, it looks like we've got another month to wait yet: The new home kit will be launched in mid-June at Villa Park and will go on sale immediately. A full range of apparel and accessories will be available from early July, distribution of which will be managed by the Club's merchandising department. The away kit will also be available in July.

philgetaway Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 ...apart from City who have Umbro. That contract was signed before things kicked off though and its widely regarded they'll change soon. The only contract Umbro want is England. Where is it widely regarded that City will change soon? Who do you think they'll change to? Reckon adidas or Nike or one of the others? And how do you know the only contract Umbro want is England? Maybe slightly OT but our friends NIKE have signed a deal to supply Citys Kits today ..... Until 2019 I believe Still buzzin off Macron though ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pacbuddies Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 why aren't we wearing the kits for the last couple of games of the season like other clubs do? We can't do that otherwise it would be a case of: 'Nice new kit, same old shit'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daweii Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Lazio are moving to Macron from next season as well. I can see Macron growing in prestige over the next few years the more they work out deals with big clubs. Right now they are seen as a producer for the lower league clubs, but they now have the likes of Napoli, Lazio and Villa on their books.. It's a nice start.

islingtonclaret Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 blah blah blah blah Man City and Nike announce new partnership Remember when we were sponsored by Nike :cry: Yes. They gave us a good kit when they thought we might break the Champions League. Then they treated us like the embarrassing dancing Uncle at the wedding. No, sorry, the 15 year old that's told they're an adult and therefore they can drink responsibly, only to sing a rainbow all over the place. No, sorry, the person that barges through the doors to object during the vows and ruins the whole wedding. No, sorry, Satan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
