cambridgeshire canary 6,715 Posted July 24, 2020 Because meanwhile in germany.. and of course we recently had Huddersfield do the same. (Although we could do without the stupid attention 'prank' they pulled first..) just think how good our kits could look without Dafabet splashed on it.

Duncan Edwards 2,231 Posted July 24, 2020 The club has just been harangued for a supposed penny-pinching approach to Premier League football and you want to further cut the income? We could probably do it if we upped everyone's season ticket by £100 (literally no idea if his is accurate but it would represent £2mpa - probably too much?) or something. Maybe only £50? I'm game. Suggest it to the club. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KeiranShikari 1,410 Posted July 24, 2020 £3m p/a or a nice shirt for a club where every pound matters. I wonder. https://www.statista.com/statistics/254513/value-of-jersey-kit-sponsorships-in-the-barclays-premier-league-by-club/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flying Dutchman 744 Posted July 24, 2020 (edited) Not really. As an actual fan, they can print whatever they like on the shirt if it gives my club £3m p/a. This far outweighs any sort of 'looking prettier' for me. Edited July 24, 2020 by Flying Dutchman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
South Sider 114 Posted July 24, 2020 Wouldn't it be nice if we could go just one day without logging on to see that Cambridgeshire has had yet ANOTHER unthought-out epiphany he felt the need to share? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lake district canary 4,531 Posted July 24, 2020 It's not sponsorship, it's advertising. Companies buy advertising space and the shirt is a convenient advertising space. If they have to sell space on their shirts I would rather they sold smaller spaces and left the shirt be mostly free of them. Take tennis, good looking shirts, small advertising logos. You do not need huge logos plastered on the front of the shirt as cameras pick up everything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mason 47 1,379 Posted July 24, 2020 My generation has grown up with sponsors on shirts, I don't really mind them all that much. The only time it becomes jarring is when it fundamentally doesn't work as part of the kit as a whole. The infamous Aviva box made me hate the sponsor- the current Dafabet logo is generally low-key and most importantly they are happy for the colourways to be mixed up a bit, which most companies wouldn't allow.

Mr Apples 1,320 Posted July 24, 2020 The true test of it's merit will be if Duda is actually any good in that kit next season. 😂 Apples Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Canarywary 106 Posted July 24, 2020 Speaking of which, when is our new shirt going to be revealed? I wasn't a big of fan of this season's. No more fades please. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canarywary 106 Posted July 24, 2020 I quite like the aesthetics of a good sponsor. If you're lucky, the sponsor can greatly enhance the shirt design. There's lots of examples, but here's one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My wife always gets me a shirt for my birthday which is early July and it's usually been out a week or so by that point (this year aside due to timings with the league etc.). Pretty sure there are many clubs that release later than that year on year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Branston Pickle 3,656 Posted July 25, 2020 It would be nice not to need sponsors but they bring in a lot of ££ so are a ‘given’ and the money is linked to coverage so will be on shirts. ‘Aesthetically’ dafabet wasn’t as bad as a lot of horrible designs this season.

Bill 1,788 Posted July 25, 2020 Just buy a 1960's style replica and you are done No need to fork out £40 plus a year to walk about advertising some company - and you won't feel the 'humiliation' of not having the latest shirt Or just wear a yellow T-shirt, and have an extra pie or pint or two .... or three 😜 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
