Aston Villa have unveiled a special edition football shirt to commemorate the club’s 150th anniversary, inspired by their original colours, black, before adopting claret and blue.
The adidas jersey features a redesigned crest based on the Scottish lion rampant introduced in 1878, when Villa became the first UK team to include a crest on their shirts. This authentic recreation honours the club’s pioneering heritage, with motifs originally sourced by William McGregor.
Principal partners Betano and Trade Nation have agreed to remove their logos to enhance the historic aesthetic.
