I can remember Villa being a trend setting club in 1969/70, they were the first team to wear the shirts with a rugby type collar that became very popular in the early 70s, I’m pretty sure they also put claret and blue plastic covers over the x facings - something they paid for because they were relegated to the Third Division that season.
Sunderland added this to the Stadium of Light a few years ago
