I like the away one.

I think it's a training top too. Black is good for blokes who have a body more like Adele than Delle Ali.

I notice some championship clubs have sponsors on the back of their shirts, if we still have an association with Acorns, maybe they could go there.

I like what Under Armour have done with the new Southampton kits, think either of these in Claret & blue would be OK

by Wriggle Mon Jun 19, 2017 1:21 am

Have to say, they are 2 great looking tops. would be happy with similar in real colours.

Interview here with new Commercial Director...

https://www.avfc.co.uk/News/2017/06/26/the-big-interview-luke-organ

Basically confirms that new kit and sponsor will be announced July 1st, but won't be available to buy until the end of July.

John Terry will be launching the kit with Jim White Dancing Banana

by deadbuzzardalive Fri Jun 30, 2017 2:31 pm

I suppose we'll hear who the new sponsor is tomorrow, it was said that the deal would bring exposure to both Villa and the sponsor so my guess is it will be a company from somewhere like China, India, Indonesia or perhaps even South Korea who want to make an name for themselves in this country, and Recon seem to have been forging a lot of business ties in those areas.

by deadbuzzardalive Fri Jun 30, 2017 9:07 pm

Club have confirmed that the kit will be unveiled tomorrow, that hashtag does indicate that they're going to use Terry to launch it as well.

by deadbuzzardalive Fri Jun 30, 2017 11:25 pm

Unibet are the new sponsor, was hoping it wouldn't be a betting company (although I must confess, I quite like the way the logo looks on the shirt), I don't buy the tops anyway, but still.

Could be worse, it does look like one of those things with the silver balls hanging on pieces of string which clicks from side to side a bit though, i keep expecting the "U" & the "T" to start clicking and swinging out sideways when i look at it New Sponsor Rumour - Page 2 498107619

Awful kit

by AstonThriller Sat Jul 01, 2017 9:04 am

Couldn't give a rats backside about the kit tbh. We could play in bin bags for all I care, I just want to see results.

Agreed. Pretty bad.

The sponsorship confuses me as I thought the FA recently said all betting sponsorships were illegal now.

by Wookster Sat Jul 01, 2017 7:09 pm

With the talk FFP at the end of last season, why do we not utilise the kit sponsorship like other clubs? Some Championship sides have a different sponsor emblazoned below the players number and even on the shorts, sell the spaces commercial team.

by Boldfinger Sat Jul 01, 2017 7:35 pm

With the new sponsor being a gambling site does that mean the club will go back to putting acorns on the children's tops ?
I hope so !!!! NO - I DEMAND SO

by deadbuzzardalive Sat Jul 01, 2017 8:41 pm

I don't think we have much of an association with Acorns anymore; the children's sizes come without the sponsor.

by Guest Mon Jul 03, 2017 11:51 am

It's kinda weird how bad the kits are year after year. Especially when you look at the drafts amateurs on Villa forums contribute with. Should just let the fans have a poll of one of them, save money on design and keep it for a few years.

by deadbuzzardalive Fri Jul 14, 2017 6:25 pm

'Villan Ho' has said that Recon will be on the back of the players' shirts next season; only thing is, nobody knows what Recon is, and when you google the word, the first result is a dating site, nothing to do with Xia's company, in fact, there's no google result for it at all.

Unibet has a great offer for all those that enjoy a flutter, bet £10.00 on Aston Villa and they will give you a free £3.00 bet every time Villa win a game.

https://welcome.unibet.co.uk/uk/aff/sportsbook/aston-villa-2017/index.html?mktid=1:127654092:4824817-27505

Sorry got it wrong, just read the terms and conditions....Bet £10.00 on any sport (you can have 2x £5.00 or 10x £1.00 bets) and they will reward you with a £3.00 bonus bet every time Villa win a league game, make sure you read terms and conditions first.

Wish our new away shirt looked as nice as that Saints one above.

Shame to have a fucking gambling company plastered on the front again.

I'm very happy still wearing my Acorns-branded one!
