New Aston Villa Away Kit

Now Im not just going to post about the Villa all the time but the new grey and white 2011 away strip has been released today. Whether you like it or not (& personally I dont) I am starting to wonder about the tradition of this once great and mighty club. Where is there any semblance of anything traditional in this new design? So in one week we take a manager across the great divide in Brum, from the other side of the street, and now this. Is it that the owner, (an American)  although Im sure he is a gracious and fine individual, doesn't grasp either what football is about (in the UK anyway) or doesn't chime with the supporters of the club. And one final point; if we do have to have sponsorship on the front of the shirts (& do we realy need to do this for the sake of only £2m per year) please let it be something that at least looks good, or reasonable, or just OK on the shirt. Because the new name doesnt!  & this is my final point.... Villa took the high ground and showed exceptional moral leadership in 2009 by allowing a charitable childrens organisation to sponsor our shirts (for free) and what do we now have.... a casino sponsoring us!! My lord, I rest my case.
