New Sponsor on Aston Villa 2008/09 Shirts
This Sunday’s News of the World newspaper are reporting that Aston Villa will forgoe a shirt sponsorship deal next year and the £2million that could bring the club to have children’s hospice charity Acorns on the front of their shirts next season.











As long as they keep the kit, I couldn’t care who sponsored them. That said, it’s good to see some charity.
some mockups made by someone on VillaTalk:
Very nice, needs a collar though.
The top one’s shite. Like the one below, though.
I agree
no collar… it’d look like Colorado Rapids from the MLS.
iz that all you care about ******* i n colaars you wiredoes
Aye, Collars because us pale Birmingham chaps out in the states get sun burned easy! haha. A collar would be a nice addition to a top anyway.
I thought Villa were havin stripes again next year, anyway was probably last years rumour and i’m getting mixed-up, the first mock-up looks nice though, the other is a tad too light, but nice effort!
Good to see a lot of interest in the Villa!
i quite like villa, there is no chance newcastle will catch villa in the table, i’m still shocked we’ve managed to win a couple of games recently
i like villa as well, but i’m a spurs fan so newcastle winnin recently, well done! but i was p*ssed off on sunday with u lot, first time we conceded 4 since Man U last season.
I see that Brendan still has a mental block when it comes to chelsea v spurs matches
i meant conceded 4 and lost sorry! : )
The only way Newcastle (Everton, Spurs or Villa) will break into the top 4 is if Avran Grant is still manager at Chelsea next season.
PS Well done Villa for doing it if it is true.
Gavin, the odds of Newcastle winning the FA cup r the same as u becoming a man, (its not going 2 happen)so stop joking ur self n support a decent team!
-=MUFC=-
That’s my kit! (with the blue sporsor)
cool but needs a collar
what is the away kit like
nice top but were the away top
i would say the second kit is a lot nicer i dont think a collar is needed
The same as what i have said but with all the sponsor on it thank.
Its Okay, But I Do Prefer The Top We’ve Got Now.
But If I Had Too Pic It Would Be The First One, Bit I Do Really Like The Second
i didnt think it would look that nice!
Nice to see villa doing the Barcelona/Unicef trend and paying the sponsors to use their Brand (in this case a childrens charity) rather than being paid huge amounts of money by the highest bidder, Good on you Villa!!!
******* brilliant
i hate it its ruggbish and a rewin it is disscusting keep the one weve got now its ****
im villa til i die marti marti give us a wave and cov are ruggbish
i like both shirts but da bottom 1 is nicer n villa r great barry shudnt leave
they dont look 2 bad, but i think that the blue should end at the shoulder and not carry n up to the neck. that is a proper villa shirt !!
i prefer the second kit because it just looks a lot more original and also, i don’t think that it particulary matters if there is a collar, however i would rather not have a collar on a villa shirt
FU CK THE COLLOARS SAD BAST ARDS GET A LIFE WHAT MORE DO U WANT
villa are the best
so dont mess u muppets
lets get in the top agen
the kit is nice youdont need acollar its good without it
the kit is nice u
dont need a
collar
its good without it
come on u villa boys
******* the collars come on villa
i see that Brendan also has a block for Birmingham vs Spurs games aswell! u lost 4-1 x SOTV
The top one is way better anyone who says the bottom one has no idea. Pale blue is naff the top one and the logo’s everything about it is mint. As for collar its not like we really got one now is it?
Both tops look great, but the first one should only have the blue on the arms and not all the way up to the neck, otherwise Its looking similar design to pompey shirt with their shirt makers, whats ma callit that rubish Joma…………They should also include a gold trim as per the the badge. Sponsor is spot on, charity is a lot more important. Collars no collars, why not stick a ruddy polar neck on it….who cares it looks class and thats what Mr randy is trying to achieve…..making villa whta it is….class !After all villa are founder members of the league and one of the oldest clubs in the world…history….. Fact villa are only one of 5 clubs to be crowned champions of europe May 1982 happy days. bring back gary shaw, withe and tony morley
i don’t care what kit or where villa go i will always support them
its a bit **** i hope it ent the actual 1 it looks like a training top ! i dont like it
i think it should be the bottom one with the sponsor from the top one. The sponser looks terrible in blue
kits are mint,the bottom 1 shud be as dark as the top one tho
top ones the nicest
im a arsenal fan but the first kit is absoutly amazing i would buy it
ya mom
ya dad
i think they are both nice but it would be better with the blue acorns on the 2 shirt to be on the first one and then it will look sick
boo
The Top one is far smarter looking!! Every year I am bemoaning the fact that there is too much pale blue in the kits - there should be more - dark and rich (not a dead shade) and maybe the blue could be a more interesting shade. And what about a little touch of that rich yellow here and there..
And what about claret and blue stripe like N’castle jersey
Worth a change for 1 season…
The Aston Villa shirt should be….claret body with blue sleeves. None of this nancy blue shoulders. The badge is a mistake as well. The circular badge of the 80’s was far better. None of this avfc rubbish, we are ASTON VILLA. The nice touch was the star for the European cup. Come on Mr Learner dig deep for international quality buys, and Martin if you get it please buy internationals. 1 at 15 mil is far better than 3 Rio Cokers.
LOVE THE VILLA, MARTIN ONEILL IS GOD! That second top is awesome… shows a bit of class and yet a bit of originality which is a way to get noticed so think will be a big hit if it is like that. Acorns charity being on the kit shows that there is more than money to the club am happy to be a villa supporter
that is really good i cant wait to get barrys name on the back
first one is good but need to keep 32red sponsor
Which are the 5 clubs who have become champions of europe?, i thought it was four?
i hate it.it look cheap and tacky.come on villa we can do better than this.villa till i die……….
love the 1st one by far the better of the two.
NICE TOP WILL PEOPLE SHUT THE FU CK UP ABOUT COLLARS I DONT CARE WOT KIT OR WE GO DOWN IN MY EYES I BLEED CLARET AND BLUE COME ON U VILLA BOYZZZZZZ
demy, 5 clubs are villa, man u, forrest, liverpool and celtic…… i think
I play for villa ladies at the moment and we play in the same kit that the men do i think its really nice but the new one looks a lot better - by the way !!BARRY FOR ENGLAND!!
That is a really ‘cool’ top. Just Chatin
i like the new shirt i am glad we have a charety line in the villa
wont we get stick if we have a charity ????
i think its sick
Look I’ve never used this website be4, i jus stumbled upon this and i read every comment and I beleive theres sum fair comments and sum completly random and frankly rubbish ones; look your all talking about the kits right, and ur all discussing ur own opinons, well to you who say the second and first TOPS (not kits), are nice your stupid, well since when have u been a Football franchise designer?, in my opinion the 2nd kit & 1st tops are based on an old nike style of world cup 02, the 1st kit aint bad but NIKe aint gonna have have a design that looks like either of the shirts, ffs wake up, a collar looks terrible and since when have nike used one?; Blue on sleeves, no collar, blue around neck, white accorns sponsor, yellow somewhere around the kit as well as top? just like in our last badges, or will that colour come in to our away strips again??? (Sean…ur stupid…)

I think it is very nice of Aston Villa to sponcer accorns becouse it is a very good charity well done villa { - _- }
I quite like the new short but prefered the 07/08 one. But i’ll Definatley be buying this one.
I x3 Barry!!1
very nice i like both of them but a collar will not work with those kits so shut up about collars!
i think it is the best shirt since i have been alive (1996) i would love to see gareth barry in it ow…….
very nice i will be getting 1
love the kit hope barry is playing in it next season and a couple of other world class sighing come on martin get some players in our we are not finshing top 10
villa 4ever
1st one is like burnley thats not claret its nearly red. 2nd one not 2 bad. neither wil be the jersey. great news about acorns dont no much about them bein from ireland never heard but the sounds very classy and generous of the club ya wouldnt get the reds and blues with their billions doin anything.. dis yr wil be better than last young carew gabby 2 terrorise defences.. if only juan pabo angel had jus joined in his prime now imagine if he can score 23 in a shite team in 03/04imagine how many he wud hav got last year salifou needs more games he,s a good *** player
Like the first one its quite like last seasons which i love in fact i’m wearin it nowand i would just like to say how proud i am of the villa announcin this deal for acorns>
The first is the home shirt thats confirmed on the villa site. there is a pic floating round of the away but it looks like its been put together by a 3 year old. villa to wind the uefa cup defo top 4 finish nxt seaso
IF WE DONT GET A COLLAR WE`LL NEVER WIN ANYTHING!
We shoudldnt get a collar, we dont want to follow crappy teams like chelsea, and the collar will slow our fast team down because of aerodynamics! Also it will make them sweat more, which could tire them out faster. And the final point it weighs a more to have a collar, which is no good!!! These are the reason for not having a collar! Now shut up about collars!
the top one is pretty mint like,i think it is much better than last season…come on villa…barry is a nob !
i think this top is great fu ck blues and there shi tty fizzy pop league lets get some good players in and then let barry leave if he wnts 2 because there is no point keeping a player that doesnt want to play his football at villa park and this year i can see use doing better like 5th. also that new top is ace man and its great to see vilaa sponsering a hospice as we are the only club in england to do this
Why is everyone saying “I like the new kit”/”I can’t wait to get it” etc etc.
These kits are NOT REAL - They are MOCK UPS! They were made by a Villa fan, way before the deal with Acorns was announced officially. The official kit hasn’t been released, and no official or unofficial leaks of it have been seen.
i think it is nice kit this seson i thought that da villians where having stripes again but anyway it is nice
whys everyone talking about colars! collars are old now
people we shouldn’t worrie about wat the players have to put on or look like it is the way we play and how we play so lets stop the silly stuff and get back to supportin villa not putin them down sayin we need a colar!
