For some legal reason, they can't advertise as our actual name. You have to do a search on Ings or something. It's also deliberate that the badges are blocked out.

Size was spot on and you wouldnt know the difference. £13 well spent. Incidentally, the same site seems to be selling our away kit even though the design isnt released. https://www.dhgate.com/product/2020-aston-villa-soccer-jerseys-watkins-20/589898300.html Surely this is illegal?

Never seen it this way personally. I'm not commenting on whether the shirts are ethically produced (I have no idea, but hope so), but always viewed the excessive charge as being basically a donation to the club to help fund the things we want to see. Having said that, just checked a few League 1 / 2 clubs and their shirts sell for about £10 less so maybe we are being ripped off!

I have always seen it as supporting the club. The cheaper shirts obviously offer an option to people who can't afford £55 a shirt but I do wonder if the clubs charged £30 per shirt, how many more they would sell and would it encourage those buying the "rip off" shirts to buy the official ones thereby supporting the club. I always buy an official one, but there are folk out there (and if you're having to buy for your kids as well) who simply can't afford the official ones. I'm no businessman but that just my thoughts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, I would probably buy 2 for £60-£70 but only ever get 1 at most at the point of release. I’ve given it a miss this year though, so will probably pick one up in a sale later on. I’m enjoying the retro shirts more these day, better value and pretty cool to boot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well £55 for a club shirt do you want to spend that amount on it?.I know alot do but its not a price i feel comfortable to pay and hardly get to wear it due to my location not far from nottarF kraP. Now if i lived in say a more neutral location then id wear them alot more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately not. No stand names. Hardly a big dissapointment. I'm thinking of getting my nipper the full kit from here and I bet the childs kit has the same sponsor as worn by the players. It's criminal in my mind that the kits we but for our kids are not the same as the one worn by players. If it's not allowed due to betting companies not being allowed on kids kits, then ffs choose a different sponsor !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As over-reactions go that's got to be pretty high up the list. Quote Gambling advertising and sponsorship rules reminder for operators We’ve teamed up with the ASA and CAP to remind licensees of some of the key rules and requirements relating to gambling advertising and sport sponsorship. Gambling adverts on football club websites: Operators must make sure their adverts or sponsorship links do not appear on football website pages that are targeted at children. For example, the junior sections of the club’s website. Gambling logos on under 18s football shirts: Operators should make sure that they do not allow their logos or other promotional material to appear on any commercial merchandising (eg replica shirts) which is designed for use by children. Operators must also take account of Football Association rules which require that in the case of teams comprising players all under the age of 18, that gambling logos must not appear on any item of kit or clothing. Terms and conditions: The ASA regularly receives complaints where consumers do not feel the terms and conditions for offers have been made clear. Gambling firms must read the ASA’s specific guidance on Gambling ads: free bets and bonuses and its article on Promotional marketing: Terms and Conditions (T&Cs), which explains how conditions should be made clear to consumers. In addition to this, we also expect firms to ensure their promotions are not misleading and are in line with recent findings by the Competition and Market Authority. Advertising that appeals to under 18s: It is not acceptable for gambling websites to display freely accessible ads, which feature images that are likely to appeal particularly to under 18s. Last year, we issued a joint warning to online gambling firms. Firms must read the ASA’s updated advice on betting and gaming which may appeal to children and review the guidance published by the ASA in November 2017. Advertising and problem gambling: Gambling firms must ensure advertising does not appeal to or target problem gamblers. This includes advertising that creates an inappropriate sense of urgency, such as “Bet Now!” during live events, and undue emphasis on money-motives to gamble. Earlier this year, CAP announced tougher standards on gambling advertising, which all firms should abide by.

Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd Posted 2 July, 2021 Share Posted 2 July, 2021 Can't see the pink or the orange being worn with the home shirt. We know the away shirt is yellow, so the pink will probably go with that. Guess that leaves the orange to go with whatever colour 3rd kit we end up with. Supposed to be black isn't it?

Wasnt a GK yellow carded once (a few years back) for wearing a short sleeved jumper? I remember when I played for my school team, my Mum knitted me a green woollen (Ted Ditchburn type) goalies jumper with a roll neck. This was good protection against the cold but significantly increased in weight when it rained!!!! I also used to wear a pair of her old woollen gloves as protection against the cold and the effects of the old leather football. Those were the days without the namby pampy benefits of lightweight footballs, well padded GK gloves, rubber soled boots and protection against some big overweight centre forward trying to kick the living day lights out of you with no protection from the Ref!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
