# Aston Villa kit sales increased by 750%

Following a switch of kit manufacturers  from Under Armour to Luke 1977 Aston  Villa’s new kit has sold like hotcakes with the kit manufacturer sold out of ALL Villa kits.

Both Aston Villa and Luke are currently sold out of all of the Villains 2018/19 kits with the kit transitioning from a football kit to a must have fashion item.

*Aston Villa* fan Luke Roper has got the gig to create the *kits* for this season following a successful pitch to the Aston Villa hierarchy, with the results clear to see.

One Luke 1977 employer in their Cheltenham branch revealed that “*We (LUKE 1977) are currently sold out of all Villa kits, in fact from last season there has been a 750% increase in kit sales.”*

*“It’s crazy, it sold out almost instantly.”\*

Aston Villa fans took to Twitter praising the new kit, with many wanting the currently sold out highly coveted kit.

While a new shipment on October the 17th was carried out it still wasn’t enough with the Kits selling out within days once again.

Should Aston Villa’s on the pitch performance be as good as their kit then it could be a very fruitful year for the Villains fans on and off the pitch.
