tricky974 61 Posted June 25, 2021 Obviously no surprise there but good it's all sorted it won't be the same money but some is better than none, how long is the deal anyone know? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex Moss 2,165 Posted June 25, 2021 Will guarantee you there’s people trying to find dirt on Lotus right now ha ha. We will definitely have one of the classiest shirt sponsors in the Premier League now, amongst all those tacky betting firms 👍 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It says principal partner 2021-22, so I'm assuming just for this season initially. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pete 318 Posted June 25, 2021 Got my Dean Ashton Lotus sponsored shirt from 2005 signed by the man himself. What a horrible colour yellow that was. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gasarbutt@gmail.com 0 Posted June 25, 2021 Can't afford a Lotus, probably wouldn't be able to get in it anyway, but I do have a 2005 away shirt so I'll dig that out! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Capt. Pants 4,225 Posted June 25, 2021 One season only and can't find anything on how much they will pay for the deal, but a good outcome to end this fiasco. Looking forward to seeing the new shirt! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Branston Pickle 3,651 Posted June 25, 2021 (edited) BK8 was just a one year deal, wasn’t it? Interestingly, the NCFC site now has Lotus as “principle partner”, rather than “principal”….seems to be a spelling mistake, unless it’s back to the ‘values’ again?!

Greavsy 2,412 Posted June 25, 2021 https://www.pinkun.com/sport/norwich-city/norwich-city-announce-lotus-as-shirt-sponsor-8087836 This comments on the BK8 deal as a one year / season deal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt. Pants 4,225 Posted June 25, 2021 A 7 figure deal so up to a £4m hit in one year - ouch! Hopefully we'll sell more shirts though and say a tenner extra will soften the blow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Argos 18 Posted June 25, 2021 Never been a fan of betting sponsors (especially the dodgy companies that nobodies ever heard of that turn up on PL shirts) but after a while I got used to both Leovegas and Dafabet and kindof 'tuned it out'. Lotus though I think will look really great on the kit and expect there will be a few envious looks our way from fans of other Prem sides. Looking forward to seeing the new shirt now. And I enjoyed the video, thought it was quite funny. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
birchfest 397 Posted June 25, 2021 Very happy with this, it's great that it's a company that we have had previously and already supports the club in other areas of sponsorship. Also the added bonus that its a Norfolk brand which I think sits beautifully with us being a single county club (sorry Lynn). I'd imagine its likely somewhere in the region of 1.5 and 2 million for the season, but I guess the club are hoping to recoup some of that with them being able to boast the shirt sales, especially with the kids kits being able to have the same look as the teams shirts for the first time since Aviva.

It is what is, we were never going to get the same sort of deal in a hurry unfortunately. And there’s a lot of assumptions that it’s baseline £1mil, it could well be higher, but the most negative slant is of course preferable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
