Aston Villa\u2019s women\u2019s team are \u201cdreading\u201d playing in the club\u2019s new home shirt this weekend after players complained the kits were retaining sweat and creating a \u201cwet look\u201d.<\/p>\n

Villa\u2019s men\u2019s team have reported the issue to the club, saying that the design produced by kit manufacturer Castore makes the shirt \u201cheavy\u201d and \u201cclingy\u201d, according to the Daily Telegraph<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The club\u2019s claret and blue home shirts have noticeably been changing colour this season and players say they are uncomfortable while playing in them.<\/p>\n

Concerns have also been raised among the women\u2019s team ahead of Sunday\u2019s Women\u2019s Super League opener against Manchester United, in a match that will be shown live on BBC Two.<\/p>\n

The BBC commentator Jacqui Oatley told Newsbeat<\/em>:<\/em> \u201cNormally they\u2019d absolutely relish those games and look forward to them. But they\u2019re actually dreading it because they\u2019re really conscious about how they\u2019re going to look in this wet, clingy kit – for obvious reasons.”<\/p>\n

Villa\u2019s women\u2019s team wore the kit in pre-season and although reports suggest no complaints were officially made at the time, Villa and Castore are now working to improve the kit\u2019s design.<\/p>\n

Villa\u2019s men\u2019s team have worn the shirts twice this week, away at Chelsea on Sunday and at home to Everton on Wednesday, and on both occasions players were left looking soaked in sweat.<\/p>\n

Villa signed a contract with British company Castore, who have also produced kits for Newcastle, Wolves and Rangers this season, in 2022 and there were no issues with the design on last season\u2019s kit.<\/p>\n

The Independent has approached Castore for comment<\/em><\/p>\n
