Aston Villa Women's Team Dreads Wet-Look Shirts
Sweat Retention Concerns Affect Performance
New Home Kit Causing Discomfort and Concern
Aston Villa Women's team has raised concerns about the club's new home kit, which they believe retains too much sweat and creates an uncomfortable "wet look." The players are said to be dreading playing in the shirt for their upcoming Women's Super League opener.
The issue was first reported by The Telegraph, which said that the players had raised their concerns with the club and manufacturer Castore. The players reportedly complained that the shirt absorbed too much sweat, becoming heavy and uncomfortable as the game wore on.
One player told The Telegraph: "It's like playing in a wet T-shirt. It's really uncomfortable and it's affecting our performance." The players are concerned that the shirt will hinder their movement and make it more difficult to play effectively.
Aston Villa has not yet commented on the players' concerns, but it is understood that the club is taking the matter seriously. The club may consider making changes to the shirt or providing the players with alternative options.
The new home kit was launched in July and has been worn by the men's team in several matches. The women's team will wear the kit for the first time in their league opener against Manchester United on Saturday.
