Aston Villa players strongly criticized the shirt manufacturer Castore.
Alisha Lehmann and other Aston Villa players had to play in an uncomfortable jersey in the early season. PDO
The female players of the football club Aston Villa get new jerseys instead of the ones that caused a lot of fuss and commotion.
Castore’s previous jerseys were made of material that absorbed moisture and became uncomfortable to wear when sweating.
A row arose when a wet shirt practically revealed everything about the team’s superstar About Alisha Lehmann. With the so-called nipple bump, the players of Villa’s women’s team strongly criticized the jersey, saying that it sticks to the upper body and directly exposes the breasts for all to see.
The same problem has also occurred with the men’s national team.
– Women are different creatures than men when it comes to the body. Our performance can be significantly hindered if we constantly have to think about how we look. The shirt can cling to breasts and body shapes, football commentator Jacqui Oatley told the BBC in the first moments of the uproar in September.
Castore has now offered Villa new jerseys, which hopefully will fix the problem. The jerseys are supposed to be used in both men’s and women’s games.
According to the Telegraph Aston Villa is so disappointed with Castore’s actions that it plans to prematurely terminate the planned multi-year cooperation agreement.
