Finally women's football might be worth watching

Villa's male players have reportedly told the club the shirts are retaining sweat, making them uncomfortable.

The new home claret and blue shirts, made by British sportswear group Castore, are the worst affected - noticeably changing colour in games.

During most of Villa's men's matches this season, players have changed their soaked shirts at half-time.

"You can imagine, as a female athlete, you have plenty enough to think about just being the best you can be on the football field without thinking about getting sweaty and your kit clinging to you, both from a performance aspect as it is with the men but also from an aesthetic aspect," Oatley said.

"And, as we know, women are different specimens when it comes to our bodies and it can really affect us and how we perform if we're constantly thinking about how we look, or a top might be clinging to our breasts and also our body shapes.
