Aston Villa unveiled the new 09/10 away kit made by Nike which is available in the FSC Shop
Aston Villa's kit for the 2009/10 season honours the club's significant England contributions. A new white and navy design acts as a tribute to the 67 Villans who have represented the English national team.
From the first capped players in 1882 to other club legends like Peter Withe and Brian Little, Aston Villa have provided more England internationals than any other club.
Aston Villa and Nike drew inspiration from the archives about our contribution to international football.
Looking to the future, the latest sports apparel innovation and technology has been utilised by Nike to help the current crop of players take their game to the next level. The visual design of the kit is intended to reflect the personality and style of the current Villa team (which often fields nine English born players and currently has five regular England internationals) whilst respecting the history of the club.
New kit features include a 'football white' shirt with a 'Villan red' trim, 'midnight navy' shorts and white socks. 'AVFC 1874' is stitched into the back of the shorts while 'AVFC' is present on the front of socks and short drawcord tips.
The club's mantra 'Prepared' is engineered into the side-seam of the shirts whilst also being present on the Villa crest. In addition, the kit is made from Nike Dri-Fit, an innovative technology that enhances the performances of players by keeping them drier, cooler and lighter. It achieves this by drawing sweat away from the body to the fabric's surface for fast drying, while its three-dimensional construction allows for more air space around the skin to reduce clinging.
Leo Sandino-Taylor, Nike UK Head of Corporate Communications said: "Aston Villa has some exciting English players in their squad who could make a real contribution to international football in the next few years. Their current success with the National team has provided the perfect opportunity to pay tribute to the club's England connections and create a technologically innovative kit that Villa fans and players will be proud to wear."

Well done Villa and Nike (don\'t often get to say that every day now do we?!?!)
yet again nike comes up trumps for the claret n blue army
and i agree with anomynous above, i bet bolton would kill for this kit lol
cant wait for home kit
utv
I think it\'s not bad. I like the fact that it\'s grey with white stripes on one half and white with grey stripes on the other. Not amazing, but pleasant enough.
Easily the best Nike kit so far for next season.
I actually don\'t mind the crew collar, it works in this case with the red trim. The stripe on the sock though would have looked better at the top of the sock rather than in the middle.
but the real reason why I like this shirt, is that the background reminds me of the great 87-89 Hummel shirt.
Martin O\'Neill pulls off a master stroke again! All the talk of Manchester United, Real Madrid, Inter Milan and Liverpool was just a smokescreen! Tevez you legend! :silly:
haha yeh its a picture from old trafford i think thats why the stands red. so they\'ve put two people in the picture that wont be at there clubs next year.
Only thing keeping me from buying it is the awful Villa badge. They really screwed it up when redesigning it a few years back.
i love the fact that we think barry is still staying with us...
barry n young hav stupid numbers cos they wont be there next season.
S*** manager- wot was his excuse for playing weak team in uefa cup, he promised u champions league n then u end up below everton
WE HATE THE BLUENOSE BASTERDS!!!!! :evil:
well supposed not our worst kit ever !!!
its like a cartoon, it doesnt represent any power or strength in the club... it makes the team look weak in my opinion.
Villas old crest would suit the jerseys so much better, the lion looks powerful and aggressive in it! i miss it...
Anyways, someone said it would be nice to see the old players names incorporated in to the jersey, thats the exact same thing id have loved to see on the jersey (in small script writing). It would make Villas history seem all the more alive...
I know its early but please change the crest Villa, please!
Villa for Life!
The only shock is that he\'s signed for M a n S h i t t y!
What a moron.
P.S. Cool strip
Also agree that they could have had the names of all England Villa players imprinted into the material,
Looks too much like a T-shirt/training top.
As a Villan, our away kit should be pure white with a claret and blue trim. Dont like it, wont buy it, Nike have neen incredibly poor since coming to Villa and all there tops are incredibly thin, basic and cheap.
Real let down.
im even a fan of the collar :0
