lmarsha_926 Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Last week I got this email from Russell Jones who is Head of Marketing and Communications at Villa So in response to the email what do you want in a kit in terms of colours and design but more importantly what design features would you like, this can include a message on the inside of the badge, some embossing like the prepared this season or something on the collar I will send an email next week with all the response, no idea what will come of it but I did send a design similar to this years home kit, not saying it had an affect. I did 3 away designs earlier, to get some ideas I will be working on some home kits this weekend 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turnbull Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 IMO, all 3 look better than this season's away kit. Would love a return to claret shirts with blue shorts for next season's home kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daggy_333 Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 I like the first 2 but not keen on the 3rd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AValon Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Second one looks ok, the others are a bit marmite. I don't mind this seasons personally, but have never really attached too much importance to away kits. Be way more interested to see the home.

Tayls Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Cool stuff Imarsha! I like all the kits there but I hate claret shorts. The black top is very nice indeed and that blue kit looks great as whole. The white is probably my least favourite, looks a little 'weak' compared to the others in the sense that I can imagine us playing crap wearing it. Also, for a head of marketing and communication his grammar is atrocious! He's put 'there' instead of 'their' and wouldn't the kit designs be for the 14/15 season not the 13/14 as we are in that now?

Gillz Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Number 1 is amazing, number 3 is good but not a fan of number 2. As for the Home kit i quite like simple, smart kits. i remember the Lazio style shirt going down well: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electric Avenue Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Not to keen on any of those. Nr 1 is poor and 2 is really bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lmarsha_926 Posted August 9, 2013 Author Share Posted August 9, 2013 I mentioned white collars and the reaction has been mixed, I have done on controversial home design, I will do that one next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted August 9, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted August 9, 2013 Here we go again. Guess what? I'm a boring old fart, so I'll come out with what I always say to this sort of marketing hoo-hah: Shirt - claret body, light blue sleeves. No sponsor (I can dream). Shorts - white Socks - light blue Away: White shirt. Shorts and socks can be claret or blue. That's it. No need to change it thereafter. Yeah, right... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 All those are better than the shite that was produced last year and this season, IMO of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 I think more importantly we need to point out issues before we give ideas. Macron men peeling off and such. It is nice that Macron seem to actually care about our kit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phumfeinz Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 lmarsha, could you upload a blank template of the kit? I'd like to have a crack at this myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulver Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 maybe we could go for a stripey home top next season 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 (edited) Rather than send a million kit templates, why don't we all discuss key features and elements that we would all like. More likely they will listen to us that way and it would show a majority voted opinion. Maybe keep things categorised also, such as: Faults: - Macron men peeling. Ideas: - Keep socks predominantly one solid colour. - Claret or blue shorts. We could also vote on preferred kit 'templates', in regards to collar design and such. For example many of us like the Lazio kit template, many of us don't like the AZ Alkmaar template (with the half collar).
