After two years with principal partner Intuit Quickbooks, Villa Chief Commercial Officer Luke Organ confirmed the club would have a new main sponsor.
Aston Villa will wear the fresh, new black kits at away matches. The new home claret and blue kit is similar as always, but lacks the collar that last year’s had. Notably, the home kits feature fully claret socks which should be fun to watch.
Under Armour will outfit Aston Villa once again.

Interestingly enough, the announcement didn’t include any details on the length of Unibet’s deal. Intuit Quickbooks entered a two year partnership in the summer of 2015, which ended on June 30, 2017.
