Kits 23/24

I have to agree. I dated a blonde girl once - well I thought she was blonde, until...

Until there was no evidence down south so you had to look at her toes?

I wonder if we do get into the champions league for next season it will give us an opportunity to change shirt sponsors.

The BK8 deal runs until 2025-26 and was the biggest offer we could get at the time. I'm hoping that there might be other deals on table that would now offer better terms if we could negotiate an early release from the gambling company.

[AV84]

Our deal runs until the gambling firms are banned as sponsors. I'm not sure they'd be too open to ending the last deals they have early, or at least not cheaply. We'd have to get something really big that would cover whatever losses we'd incur from ending the BK8 one.

You'd say the same about the Castore deal, but they were open to it.

We don't know what terms that was done on though. I suspect it might have been breach of contract because of the dodgy sweaty kits. Even if we only threatened it, they probably didn't fancy any more bad publicity.

It's not really the same though. Castore still have Wolves, and Everton are switching to them next season. Along with whatever other teams they have outside the Premier League. The gambling firms are banned from 2025 or whenever it is. They're in the last days of having such high profile deals. You'd think they'd be less happy to end the ones they have left. But who knows.

Potentially.

But I suspect that there will be potential sponsors out there who will pay more than BK8 for Champions League sponsorship, and it's Chris Heck's remit to partner us with big brands. This is a good opportunity and I expect it will be explored to see if it's possible.

Just found this on my Google feed:

Pretty nice mock-up kits.

[Brazilian Villain]

No offence KRS, but those mock-ups are dreadful.

[Villa in Denmark]

Especially that bronze effort.

No offence taken…I didn’t design them! 😂

I’d be happy with the home kit and imagine that could be very similar to what we’ll be wearing next season (they’ve got the shoulders and adidas stripes right for a start even if I’d prefer they were just a different shade of claret).

[AV84]

Don't mind the white striped one, but the gold crest looks rubbish, I think.

[Risso]

That brown one is like the old Talbot era Coventry one. Hideous, in other words.

I was nearly sick in my mouth when I saw that one tbh…looks like something Bradford or Motherwell would wear. Apparently the design is based off the Villa Park architecture:

“Mac Johnson's Adidas Aston Villa 150th anniversary kit concept is probably the most interesting. It features a unique color scheme inspired by their home ground, Villa Park. It is predominantly brown with the distinctive brick graphics of Villa Park.”
