Aston Villa Women Debut New Kit Amidst Design Controversy
Kit Concerns Raised by Team Members
Aston Villa's Women's Super League (WSL) squad has debuted their new kit, despite ongoing controversy surrounding its design. The kit was first unveiled in September 2023, and several members of the women's team raised concerns about its performance and aesthetics.
Sweating Issues and Aesthetic Concerns
Last season, Villa Women experienced issues with sweat-heavy shirts, which affected their performance on the field. The new kit's design, which features a darker shade of claret and a new collar, has raised concerns that the sweating issue may persist.
In addition to performance concerns, some players have also expressed dissatisfaction with the kit's overall appearance. Some have argued that the darker shade of claret makes the kit less visually appealing and that the new collar is uncomfortable.
Collaboration with Castore
Aston Villa is working closely with the kit manufacturer, Castore, to address the concerns raised by the women's team. The club has stated that they are committed to finding a solution that meets the needs of the players and maintains the club's high standards.
Upcoming Fixture
Aston Villa Women are scheduled to wear their new kit in their WSL opener against Manchester United on Sunday, October 1. The match will kick off at 12:30 BST and will be broadcast live on BBC Two.
