Aston Villa 2008/09 Home Nike Football Kit Launched
Monday, 07 July 2008
We showed you some leaked pictures of the new home shirt a few days ago and today Aston Villa's unveiled the new 08/09 home and away kits at a free public event in Birmingham.
Several of Martin O'Neill's first-team stars will model the new strips in Central Square situated close to the National Sea Life Centre. It follows on from last year's kit launch at Harvey Nichols in the exclusive Mailbox shopping and entertainment centre.
The claret and blue version goes on sale on July 24 while the away shirt goes on online pre-order from August 1 but is available from August 21.
I'm a Man Utd fan and I like this shirt, it's a typical Villa shirt.
Many people have been saying the sponsor 'Acorns' looks s**t but I think it is great that a club are working with a charity and state this by wearing their name on the shirt, the same way Barcelona & Unicef do, I think more clubs should do the same.
I wasn't sure when I saw the leaked pictures of the shirt flat out on the floor, but seeing it worn, and seeing the away kit too - I really like both! Think last years home and away shirts were both better, but I do like these still.
Im a Blackburn Rovers fan and unfortunately it aint possible for most team to have a charity on their shirt as we need the sponsorship money, is a nice thought for the bigger teams like yourselves and chelsea
I THINK THE SHIRT IS REALLY GOOD SO IS DA AWAY ONE AND TEAMS LIKE BIRMINGHAM SHUD STOP SAYIN THE ACORNS LOOKS CRAP
ATLEAST WE CAN AFFORD 2 HAVE IT ON :
