If you’re an Aston Villa fan, you must be licking your lips at the prospect of buying this seasons shirt. After all, in comparison to recent efforts it’s absolutely football kits.
Nike have stepped in to manufacture the kits this time round and they’ve done a great job. All too many Aston Villa football shirts have been overcomplicated and fussy in recent times. This looks to have been put behind them now with a very tidy, sleek effort.
Martin O’Neill has taken over a team and quickly set about improving everything to do with the set up. Randay Lerner’s cash has certainly give him the tools he needs to get the playing personnel in and there is even talk about extending Villa Park.
But when it comes to image, Aston Villa were really in need of a massive image overhaul. They’ve been long considered an old fashioned team but those days look to finally be gone. The Nike kit brings them right up to date after a long standing agreement with Reebok which didn’t see many good shirts developed.
I’m sure merchandise sales will be up this season, as the combination of improved football and improved football shirts becomes apparrent. Aston Villa have a massive following and this shouldn’t be easily forgotton. Outside of the top 4 they consistently fill a massive stadium and those fans will be looking brighter and happier this season in the fashionable new shirts.
There’s been a lot written about football becoming a business in the past, so if this is the case then more teams need to think about their valued customers. Aston Villa have come up with a great piece of merchandise but not enough teams are doing this, and they owe it to their fans!
