Aston Villa Women's team has taken to the pitch in their controversial new wet look shirts, despite concerns raised by the players and a major backlash from fans.
The team debuted the new strip in their match against Manchester United, but the players were reportedly uncomfortable with the clingy material that made their bodies appear soaked through.
The kit, manufactured by Castore, has been criticized for its unflattering design and poor quality. The wet look effect has been described as "unprofessional" and "demeaning" by some commentators.
Aston Villa is aware of the concerns and is reportedly in talks with Castore to resolve the issue. However, the club has confirmed that the team will continue to wear the new kit for the time being.
The situation has sparked a debate about the importance of player comfort and body image in women's football.
