BlackSocksRedTops 3,751 Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 I may go against the grain but I like it. Its an obvious cash grab but at least its new and different. Words not often associated with our club of late. Most of our strips seem to be rehashes of old 9 in a row strips and it's became stale and boring. I wonder what the shorts are like? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uilleam 5,932 Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 Castore, eh? "Aston Villa’s women’s team ‘dreading’ having to wear sweaty kit.... they’re really conscious about how they’re going to look in this wet, clingy kit — for obvious reasons.” You may well laugh, but the gals make a couple of points. Aston Villa’s women’s team ‘dreading’ having to wear sweaty kit Manufacturer will try to adapt design after complaints from men’s and women’s sides that shirts do not wick sweat properly Charlotte Duncker Molly Hudson Wednesday September 27 2023, 3.00pm, The Times https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/aston-villas-womens-team-dreading-having-to-wear-sweaty-kit-6zhx7df0t Castore, Aston Villa’s shirt manufacturer, is working to adapt the club’s kit after complaints from both the men’s and women’s teams that the shirts are retaining too much sweat. Players have said that the design of the shirts is inadequate, claiming they got wet with sweat too quickly and felt heavy and uncomfortable to wear as a result. They say that Villa’s home shirts — the traditional claret and blue — are worse than the away strips. It is understood that Castore is aware of the club’s complaints and is working with them to try to find a solution. However, it is not anticipated that there will be a quick fix to the issue, as a redesign will be required, rather than simply ordering a fresh batch of shirts. Castore has been approached for comment. Villa start their Women’s Super League campaign against Manchester United on Sunday and, with some members of the team having concerns about the kit, there had been hopes that the issue could be resolved before the opening game. “This is going to be a big problem,” Jacqui Oatley, the football commentator and broadcaster, told BBC Newsbeat. “They’ve got four TV games coming up. Normally they’d absolutely relish those games and look forward to them. But they’re actually dreading it because they’re really conscious about how they’re going to look in this wet, clingy kit — for obvious reasons.” Carla Ward’s side played five pre-season friendly matches, which is when the issue arose. The team wore their training kit instead for a game against Villarreal, but it is understood that was down to betting regulations in Spain — Villa’s front-of shirt-sponsor, BK8, is an online betting site. Before next season there will be more changes to the Villa kit, with the club confirming that they are looking to redesign their crest for the second season in a row. The club underwent a consultation process last season to design the crest which adorns this season’s kit and training wear. However, they have now admitted that the new crest has not “had the impact which had been hoped when it was introduced”. Villa said they would canvas the opinion of fans before selecting a new-look crest for the club’s 150th anniversary next year. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CammyF 8,087 Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 For some reason the 4th kit reminds me of a Falkirk kit when Kevin James played for them. Although an extensive Google search has not confirmed my memory. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJRFC 19 Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 (edited) Hopefully will launch with long sleeves. we’re nearly into October and there’s no long sleeve version of the away and third kits (which I’m waiting for) on the Rangers store site Castore are shysters.
