Claret Aston Villa No.3 home jersey season 1969-70, by Umbro, long-sleeved, embroidered club badge inscribed A.V., collar, cuffs and reverse number in blue In a long break with tradition Umbro's jersey produced for the 1969-70 season had the sleeves in claret as well as the body, this style of jersey was last seen worn in January 1970 at which point the club reverted to its traditional blue sleeves for the remainder of the season. In the pre-squad numbering era it is not possible to identify the relevant player definitively. But at this period the player most associated with the No.3 Villa jersey Charlie Aitken.
