Pisses me off that people in the club sign off on things like this. Sponsors aren't going to pay you money if they're not on the shirt. Paddy Power used a huge advertising campaign bait and switch before they allowed no sponsor on their shirts. Link to post Share on other sites

Pisses me off that people in the club sign off on things like this. Test the acetone on a small area first where you won't see it just in case it eats into the fabric. Failing that intense heat from a steam cleaner with a nozzle applied to the rear of the logo from the inside out might soften the adhesion enough for it to be peeled off. If that doesn't work give it to my Mother in Law as she manages to remove every logo known to man in only two or three washes and tumble drys. Link to post Share on other sites

It’s just that a gambling one for an area with unemployment doesn’t give off a good vibe to me. Plenty of sponsors out there and I would argue that more aesthetically pleasing ones as well 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Tarmo 39 Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Some clubs do sponsor less. Celtic are one I think. I haven’t bought a Hummel shirt since we swapped, and I was always seeing stuff about how they’d fall apart, poor quality etc. Just seen an Everton fan on twitter complaining on Hummel’s Boro annoucement tweet. Are they really that bad? Link to post Share on other sites

I don't like it, but I don't think if we had 5-6 equally good options we would have gone with the gambling company. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Complained and got a second one, same thing again! Wouldn't be so bad but it leaves an ugly shadow which doesn't come out. Last years away kit was fine though Link to post Share on other sites

But don't fancy paying £48 to walk around advertising a betting company thank you 🙂 The 32 Red is bad enough...though that didn't stop me buying the shirt with the poem on the inside-back. But the "set your limits" bit just triggers me, so sadly I won't be opening my wallet this season. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
