Football has moved on since the days when my sweaty, stinky, grass-stained Norwich shirt would be washed in time for me to wear it again in the next game.
We didn’t think about what we wore back then. We did as we were told because we were ignorant to the idea that it mattered.
But now, it is all about marginal gains. If Villa’s players feel their Castore shirts are collecting sweat and affecting performances, they have every right to complain.
The Premier League is the elite division in the world and it is bonkers to think a team’s kit might not be up to scratch.
If the men need to wear it against Brighton on Saturday, it isn’t the end of the world. I suspect the ones we wore back in the day were far heavier.
