Adidas Aston Villa 24-25 Concept Kits
The Adidas Aston Villa concept kits by @macjohnsonmedia celebrate the club's 150th anniversary. It is not known if Adidas will celebrate the team's anniversary with its regular kits for Aston Villa or if we might even see a special-edition Aston Villa 150th anniversary kit from Adidas (or even from Castore, as Aston Villa turns 150 already in March 2024).
The Adidas Aston Villa 24-25 concept kits feature the leaked new Aston Villa crest.
