I like when national teams opt for a bit of kit flair. There’s like a dozen teams all with some bland combination of red/white/blue that’d you be hard pressed to differentiate if you took off the badges.

Aston Villa also ditching Castore for Adidas.

 

I don't recall Villa ever having Adidas shirts. Have they @brummie?


Not as far back as I can remember, no. 
 

A few people (podcaster, Athletic villa correspondent) have seen the new kit, but are sworn to secrecy, but say it’s “a belter” which fans will love and also

that - and this is where I suspend belief - they’ll be cheaper than the Castore dross 

 

one of our owners is the largest shareholder in Adidas which probably helps.

Didn't think I could remember an Adidas Villa kit.

One thing I do know, Castore are fucking shit.

 

That sweaty garbage they did for us is an absolute pile of embarassing shit, and they couldn't even fix the problem.

You won’t get many disagreeing with that statement.

Their deal better not be worth more than ours considering their owner owns 7% of Adidas. FMV and all that.

Exqactly…..associated party, FMV panel should have to asses the deal.

They said it was something to do with the application of the sponsor logo or some such nonsense.

 

Castore are a weird company. Grown from nothing to having some big clients in no time at all.

Sawiris and Edens, our owners, sold a minority stake of the holding company to the investment arm of Comcast (who own, amongst other things, Sky, and are specialists in stadium development) before Xmas.

 

In the same week they bought in, Villa said their plans to rebuilt the north stand and increase capacity were on hold. They were going to do demolition at the end of the season. The fact that happens in the very same week makes me think, they're looking at a total rebuild or - and I fucking hope this doesn't happen - a move to a new ground.

 

There is a lot of stuff happening at the moment, the shirt manufacturer if anything is one of the least controversial things.
