Aston Villa players not happy with jersey
In addition to the jerseys being saturated with sweat, the Aston Villa players are not happy that the jerseys also holding onto that moisture the entire time. This is making players uncomfortable with bulky shirts that cling to the body. The team has voiced its concerns to the club, and Villa is pressing the suppliers for a prompt response.
When Aston Villa’s team wore sponsor-free shirts in their Europa League matches against Legia Warsaw last week, their sweat issue became very obvious. A source told The Telegraph, “The players are having to play in soaking wet t-shirts and it is a problem that needs to be solved. It cannot go on all season. The players look like they’ve jumped in a swimming pool after about 10 minutes.”
Castore is a relative newcomer to the sportswear industry. They have landed high-profile deals with teams like Rangers, Newcastle United, Bayer Leverkusen as well as the England cricket team. Now, they may feel somewhat embarrassed by the situation.

Aston Villa will be hoping that they can find a solution to this issue soon. The onus will now fall on Castore to ensure that the new batch of jerseys don’t have the same issue.
