The claret section is adorned with a sublimated geometric pattern representing soundwaves, inspired by the 'Allez, Allez, Allez' chant sung by supporters at Villa Park. The jersey includes a heat-applied Castore logo, a screen-printed 'BK8' sponsor logo, and a redesigned round club crest that pays homage to the 1982 European Cup-winning team. The fabric is a high-performance polyester blend (typically 90% polyester, 10% elastane), though this specific iteration was noted for its unique 'wet-look' finish during matches.This jersey is historically significant as it was worn during the season Aston Villa secured qualification for the UEFA Champions League. However, it became infamous for technical issues; players from both the men's and women's teams complained that the Castore-manufactured fabric did not properly wick sweat, causing the shirts to become heavy and clingy—a phenomenon dubbed the 'wet-look' kit. This controversy ultimately led the club to terminate its multi-year partnership with Castore early in favor of a deal with Adidas starting in 2024. Additionally, it featured a temporary round crest that was replaced by a new shield design the following season.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Castore","offers":[{"title":"S \/ Red \/ Castore","offer_id":52915132334416,"sku":null,"price":69.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0764\/5859\/0544\/files\/d129696f-cc76-4854-887a-c520472b3da7_product_2f52fc49-24ee-4154-ab00-5f85af5eae8a_1776251964344_ba8efb9a-81a7-4b89-9cc2-fc954a73c12c.jpg?v=1776342228","url":"https:\/\/thissavintage.nl\/products\/2023-2024-aston-villa-castore-home-football-shirt-lucas-paqueta-10-s-164665","provider":"Thissavintage","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
