If you simply looked at their win-draw-loss record in the 2014 2015 Premier League, you absolutely wouldn't say that Aston Villa has had a great season. The club currently has more losses in the top flight division than they do wins and draws combined, and while they are not in the danger zone as far as relegation is concerned, they aren't far off. However, even despite these Premier League woes, Lions fans have at least one thing to be happy about: on May 30th, their club will be contending for the 2014 2015 FA Cup title. Celebrate that fact-and get ready for the big title match-with a new Aston Villa shirt from Soccer Box!
From the claret and blue of the Aston Villa home jersey 2014 2015, to the white and red pinstripe look of the away shirt, Soccer Box has a full selection of Lions gear. Aston Villa will be wearing the away shirt for their season-ending FA Cup championship game in late May. However, both the home shirt and away jersey will work perfectly if you are simply wishing to show your support for the squad in the month leading up to the big game.
FA Cup History
If the wearers of the Aston Villa shirt can manage to force an upset against Arsenal on May 30th, they will claim their eighth FA Cup title. That tally would tie Aston Villa with Tottenham Hotspur, as the third most successful soccer club in the history of the event.
Arsenal, meanwhile, are looking to break a tie of their own. Both the Gunners and Manchester United's Red Devils have won the Football Association tournament 11 times-more than any other team. Arsenal tied the record by winning last year's competition, and could set a new record of 12 titles this year.
Regardless of which team wins, we should be in for a pretty exciting battle on May 30th. Arsenal may significantly outrank Aston Villa in the Premier League, but in the annals of FA Cup history, these are two of the most successful clubs in England.
If you are rooting for the Lions, you should make a point of grabbing an Aston Villa home jersey 2014 2015 or away shirt to support the squad. While Aston might have seven Football Association titles, none of them have been won this century-or even in the past 50 years.
Indeed, the last time the Claret and Blue hues of the Aston Villa shirt were seen at the top of the FAC podium, it was 1957. That year, the Lions wore the claret and blue home jersey and topped Manchester United 2-1 at Wembley Stadium, clinching the FAC title in front of nearly 100,000 people.
Even that victory was unexpected for Aston Villa. By 1957, the football club's golden age was far in the rearview. They hadn't won a title in England's first division since 1910, and had gone without an FAC trophy since 1920. Most of club's successes were scattered around the late 1800s or the early 1900s.
Arsenal
With all of that history in mind, fans in the Aston Villa home jersey 2014 2015 are fully aware that their soccer squad is the underdog going into the May 30th championship match. The question is, can the Lions subvert expectations and break their lengthy dry spell? After all, the team hasn't won a domestic football title of any sort in the 2000s.
Aston Villa did beat Arsenal once last season, in an August 2013 away match that they clinched 3-1. In 2014 2015, though, the Gunners have had a clear edge over the Lions. In September, Aston Villa lost 0-3 to Arsenal despite having the home field advantage. The outcome was even worse at an away fixture in February, which the Gunners won 5-0.
Help the Lions surprise the football world, by picking up a new Aston Villa shirt from Soccer Box and showing your support for the football team! Whether you are looking for the 2014 2015 home shirt or away jersey, you can find it here. Just make sure you have yours ready by May 30th, when the outcome of the 2014 2015 FA Cup will be decided at Wembley Stadium.
