Premier League club Aston Villa has “finally taken delivery of a new shipment of Castore shirts” with the sportswear manufacturer “hopeful they have now solved the club’s ‘wet-look’ issue that prompted complaints from players,” according to Matt Law of the London TELEGRAPH. It is “still expected that Villa and Castore will cut short their ‘multi-year’ partnership that was announced last year at the end of the season." However, the two parties “have been working amicably and continue to do so.” Villa’s players “did not wear the new shirts” for recent wins against Manchester City or Arsenal, and they are "not expected to do so in their next two fixtures, either.” The jerseys “could be used after that if Villa receive the technical details and are happy with them” (London TELEGRAPH, 12/11).
