We’ve essentially taken back control of the look and feel and listened strongly to fan sentiment – and we’re delighted with the finished products.
“The three-way technical partnership is a groundbreaking move within sport, it’s a true collaboration and has helped us deliver the very best product for our fans as we draw on the huge and very distinctive strengths of Luke 1977 and Fanatics."

We understand the history of our great club, we understand the fans and we are ready for the season ahead.”

“Our role saw us come up with a brief about what we thought the high notes of the club should be – and how they should resonate through kit design. We took that to a basic design concept and then it was very rewarding working on that alongside Luke 1977 – a leading fashion house and headed up by a die-hard Aston Villa fan."
