Aston Villa celebrate 150th anniversary with new 2024/25 away kit

Aston Villa have unveiled their new away kit for the 2024/25, celebrating their 150th anniversary.

Drawing inspiration from the club's history, Villa have kept in minimal this season with a plane white base which is accented by claret and blue stripes on the collar. The adidas stripes down the shoulders are also blue in what is the first strip released since Villa parted ways with previous provider Castore.

The club's new crest features on the front, while on the back is an 'AV 150' anniversary marque to pay tribute to the club's formation back in 1874.

Villa will debut the new kit - the first away strip in the new partnership with adidas - in Saturday's Premier League opener when they travel to face West Ham United.

Chris Heck, president of business at Aston Villa, said: "Launching our away kit with adidas comes with great pride. Collaborating with the best in the business has inspired the club, adidas cares deeply about the identity linked to our 150-year history as a club and re-imagined it for the modern day.

"As we enter a new era, we're pleased to be partnered with one of the biggest sportswear brands in the world, reflecting our ambition to compete at the top of football."

Sam Handy, SVP of product and design at adidas, added: "adidas knows that Aston Villa is a club that is deep-rooted in its culture and visual identity, and we wanted to reflect this by ensuring that the away kit features the club's iconic colours of claret and blue. As a brand, we're always competing to be at the forefront, so we're very pleased to be working with a club that embodies that same drive."
