Soccer Equipment Guide

The 2010 Carling Cup Final between Aston Villa and Manchester United is coming up at the end of this month – on the 28th of February to be more precise – and there are already lots of special Aston Villa and Manchester United merchandise such as t-shirts, scarves, flags and more that we’ve covered here. On top of that, Kitbag just released on their site commemorative 2009-2010 Aston Villa Carling Cup Final embroidered home and away shirts (buy here). Great stuff for Villa fans though I reckon that custom Manchester United merchandise is still lacking. Here we go:

Truth be told, there’s more custom merchandise for Aston Villa fans than there is for Manchester United fans but there are still a good 4 weeks until the kick-off so let’s hope they’ll add to it and balance things off.
