Fans were left amused as Ozzy Osbourne and Geezer Butler feature in Aston Villa’s new kit video on Tuesday morning.
It’s a brilliant collaboration that combines the iconic rock legend with their beloved football club, with the unveiling quickly going viral on social media.
This is the first time Adidas has produced Villa’s kits, as they take over from Castore as manufacturer due to significant quality issues with Castore.
One notable aspect of the new kit is the updated club crest, which has had plenty of talk over recent months, and the shirt also features the logo of the team’s new primary sponsor, Betano.
Instant classic.

STATEMENT:
Aston Villa and adidas are proud to unveil the home kit for the 2024/25 season, marking the beginning of the first ever multi-year partnership and the club’s landmark 150th anniversary.
The home kit is a stylish tribute to Aston Villa’s past and features the special ‘AV 150’ symbol in elegant calligraphy on the back of the shirt.
It is adorned with the new club crest and includes solid white shorts, signature blue socks, an ‘1874’ sign-off and adidas’ three-stripes branding on the shoulders and around the collar.
Chris Heck, President of Business at Aston Villa, said: “We are immensely proud to unveil our new playing kit which marks the start of not only a landmark partnership with one of the world’s most recognisable sports brands but an historic year for our football club.
“The new jerseys feature the latest adidas technology and have been developed in close collaboration with Aston Villa’s men’s and women’s teams.”
