Description of the Flag

The flag of Aston Villa is available as a rug at http://www.calverleycarpets.co.uk/.  Vertically divided counterchanged crimson-blue-crimson in ratios 1:1:2 with shield in centre. Nickname "The Villans" below the shield. Edged with white-crimson/blue-gold (this may be part of the rug design, and not necessarily used on the flag).

Cottised flag

[Flag incomplete]

Seen at a cricket game in Adelaide (Australia), a handmade flag, which had [AVFC] letters in the four quarters representing some club or team. Around the red cross of the St George was a voided pale blue cross. Aston Villa Football Club's colours are indeed deep red and sky blue.

Chequered flag

It now seems that the club flag has been redrawn, and a giant version of the new flag has either been or is about to be displayed at their home ground, Villa Park. As we can see, the old flag has been completely redesigned and redrawn, although the traditional club colors have been retained:
