The 2012/13 Kits Thread.

Didn't see one, so here it is - a place to discuss what our learned foes will be sporting next season.

So post any confirmed kits in here, or rumoured ones.

We launched the Villa Kit yesterday and had a festival this weekend. I worked on the campaign:



I think the kit is cracking. Been met with a decent reception, bar the usual whiners.

The Villa home kit looks pretty standard and the away kit looks like vomit.

That's really smart. Traditional as well, Macron are becoming a very good kit maker.

I think they've done a grand job. I don't understand how any Villa fan can look at the kits Nike have produced this year and think that switching to Macron is a bad idea (especially when Macron gave us more money and made us the flagship brand).

I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

Claret with blue sleeves is a lovely combination, just looks really smart. Macron also don't try and shoehorn everyone into two templates like Nike tend to.

Yeah. They also gave us directive with the ad campaign, where as nike just provide a document and say 'do this'. Not that that's been a bad thing, there's been some great Nike campaigns, but from a designers point of view I don't want to be sat relaying someones work. This years Nike campaigns are awful too, with their slanty text and 'the 'blah blah' collection' tag. What a mess.

It seems to me Nike (and to a lesser extent, adidas) are getting lazy. I do think a lot of it is down to having new kits come out every season as well. You just know, looking at the EURO 2012 kits, that the clubs will be wearing similar designs. Nike seem to have a hard on for big bars on the sleeves this year, last year it was zig zags.

Why's it only United that ended up with the shitty checkers .

Adidas have been very universal this year with their gold mono printing, but look really nice. Swansea and Chelsea's home kits are stunning.

You think our kits are bad - you should see what they've got Barca wearing!! Nike claim that the checks are actually "Manchester's famous gingham pattern" that was created there in the Industrial Revolution.

This? I really like it. Though looks like it could look a little weird on.

OMFG....



I hadn't seen that. Looks like a Tequila sunrise.

No I really meant the away and third ones. That's nice enough - but it doesn't say "Barca" to me.

Yeah, but that's not a worm in the bottom of the glass...

'Shit'...'Shit' ice lollies.

Zoom?

Can't.....stop......laughing......must........look.......away!!

To be fair we laugh, but how often will they have to wear it. Their home kit's nice and we're stuck with that shitty table cloth for at least 19 games this year.
