Aston Villa 2012/13 available from 16 June 2012

The new 2012/13 home shirt remains faithful to the classic claret and blue tradition, while the away shirt presents a vibrant lime colour with navy blue details, giving it a playful yet stylish design to symbolise a bright new era under the management of Paul Lambert.

The kits, featuring a classic Italian style using the latest design technology, contain a number of innovative details.

These include a new embossed lion motif within the fabric to the rear and an embroidered club logo on the back of the neck.

The home strip, which was forged drawing inspiration from the 1980-81 championship-winning design, is made by integrating different fabrics, each with specific technical and high-performance characteristics.

The vivacious away shirt, meanwhile, features a round neck design made with a knitwear profile and in navy blue colour.

The upper flank inserts are in mesh, tone on tone fibres, with the lower insert in navy blue.

Inside of the neck there is the printed lion in claret that personalises the size tag.
