New Kit And New Badge For Villa
Wed 19th December 2012 | Northwich Manchester Villa | By Ian Templeman
Northwich Villa will give their new brand new away kit an airing for the first time, when they host Daisy Hill in their Boxing Day fixture at Valley Road.
The new kit will also be adorned by the recently redesigned club badge, and as Villa Secretary Ken Stevenson explained, the acquisition of the new kit came about through him using an old contact.
“Our new kit has been sponsored by Calor, and we are very grateful to them for their support. Everyone knows how difficult it is to get sponsorship for the smaller teams in the league, and going back to when I was Secretary at Alsager Town I remembered all the help we received from Calor.
“So I made a phone call to the manager of Calor’s LPG division and he had no hesitation in saying yes to providing us with a complete strip with a new design and colour. We then sat down and looked online at all the various companies who supply football strips and opted for Hereward for the styles and quality of their products.
“The colour we decided to go with is red with a black flash for the shirt and shorts, and black and red hooped socks, so that we have a choice of tape colour to keep socks up.
“The new kit will be our away kit, and we are using it for the first time at home on Boxing Day. At other times it will be used home or away to avoid colour clash.
“We have had permission from the League Management Committee to use the kit this season, as the rules state that you have to apply for change of colours mid-season”.
As well as the new kit, Villa’s new club crest (shown above) will also be displayed on the shirt, and Ken says the decision to change was initially sparked by the new kit colours.
“When it was decided to go for different colours, we had a mock up done on the computer”, he said. “A green badge on a red shirt just didn’t look right so we had eight different designs mocked up and the new crest was chosen.
“We went for that design because of the brightness of colour, and it will stand out where the old one was dull. We have new pin badges on order with the new crest, and they are due to be delivered any time now”.
